This 2014 reboot of the venerable shooter series injected a surprising amount of heart into its Nazi-killing premise. Beyond the visceral gunplay, Wolfenstein: The New Order excelled with its character-driven narrative and the tough moral choices it presented. Its blend of run-and-gun action with stealth elements, bolstered by a surprisingly effective upgrade system, kept players engaged, even when the story took a backseat to the carnage.

About Wolfenstein: The New Order

View Game Details
Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action-adventure shooter game played from a first-person perspective. It is the semi-sequel to 2009's Wolfenstein, however utilizes very little from the game and drops any direct references to veil or supernatural. To progress through the story, the player battle enemies throughout levels. The game utilizes a health system in which players' health is divided into separate sections that regenerate; if an entire section is lost, the player must use a health pack to replenish the missing health. In combat, a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. The player have the ability to lean around, over, and under cover, which can be used as a tactical advantage during shootouts and stealth levels. The game gives the player a wide variety of weapon options—they can be found on the ground, retrieved from dead enemies, or removed from their stationary position and carried around.
