Look, I am very much not a shooter guy, but the new Wolfenstein games are 100% up my alley. The scenarios are off the wall bonkers and the characters are strange enough to be really likable. It tells a story thats pretty dumb, but also hilarious and perfect. It doesnt hurt that I hold Wolfenstein 3D in super high regard. I played the hell out of that when it came out and can still go back to it today somehow.

I suck at shooters so I just put this game on easy and go in guns blazing. It works perfectly with the style of game that Wolfenstein purports to be. Normally, putting a game on easy kind of nerfs the interest in the gameplay sections, but the levels themselves are so interesting and weird in Wolfenstein 2 that its actually better off for it, and the main character being an absolute monster fits the narrative,

If I were to make a list of top scenes from video games, Wolfenstein 2 would be all over that list. The first level has you fighting off dozens of nazis while rolling around in a wheelchair and another one has you dressed up in a firefighter costume, talking to the nazi-loving KKK while carrying a nuke in your bag. What a game.

You wouldnt think that a dumb game like Wolfenstein would be in full-on spoiler territory but it is. I really love the bizarre cast of characters that this series has developed over the course of this reboot and there are at least 6 moments in this game that are jaw-dropping.
