Wolfenstein: The New Order - PS4

Wolfenstein: The New Order marks the return of one of the oldest first-person shooter series, Wolfenstein 3D, once again putting the player in the role of Polish-American soldier William "B.J." Blazkowicz. The game begins in 1946, as Blazkowicz hunts his arch-enemy General Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, well aware that the Nazi war machine would be crippled if he could kill Deathshead. However, his plans fail and Blazkowicz is fatally wounded and falls into a partial coma. He is rescued by a Polish fishing boat and taken to an asylum in Poland, where he is cared for by a nurse named Anya for 14 years. When he finally wakes up and rescues Anya from the Nazis' purge of the asylum, he soon learns that the war is over, the Nazis have won, and are bringing the entire world under their rule. Deathshead played a major role in this victory, having designed vicious biomechanical beasts and giant robots to gain superiority on the battlefield, while also bombarding the United States with atomic bombs until it finally surrendered. Blazkowicz arms himself once more and sets out to reignite the flames of rebellion by freeing his friends from the Kreisau Circle and toppling the Nazi regime!

As with previous entries in the series, the game is a fast-paced and violent first-person shooter with a few minor stealth and exploration elements. Players can carry multiple weapons at once, and these weapons can even be dual-wielded. Weapons range from traditional ones such as knives, pistols and shotguns, but later in the game there is also more exotic equipment such as electricity-spewing grenades, lasers, bladed weapons and more. You also receive a useful tool called the Laser Cutter, which you can use to break through chains, fences and the like to gain access to alternative paths and secret items and areas.

Players fight numerous Nazi soldiers of varying strength, some wearing power armour, others even biomechanical, blending flesh with technology. There are also biomechanical German Shepherds acting as guard dogs, which can sneak up on the player and try to tear out their throat. In addition, there are larger robot dogs that are extremely fast, agile and dangerous. Players have the option of taking a stealthy approach and silently killing enemies with suppressed weapons and knives, which can be used for brutal attacks from behind or thrown at enemies from a distance.

Sometimes you'll be notified about a Nazi officer in the area. If you hunt him down and kill him quietly, areas on the player's map become visible. The game features a perk tree, whose level rises depending on challenges completed in the game, e.g. by silently killing 10 enemies with throwing knives to gain extra knife slots, or by killing multiple enemies while your health is overcharged (above 100%) to unlock a perk where killing enemies grants small health boosts. These perks come in various categories (assault, demolition, stealth and tactics) and are based on the playstyle chosen by the player.

As in previous games in the series, you'll also need to collect secrets here. These include items that can give you a complete map of the area, notes and letters with background stories, Enigma codes that unlock special game modes, as well as Nazi gold and treasures.
