Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is alright, but I wouldn't say there is anything remarkable about it besides the story, which is fairly good for a shooter.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is quite fun on Uber difficulty and the execution of a Nazi victory within the world of Wolfenstein is exectuted very well.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
So many sections are clearly inspired by its contemporaries, which is ironic considering the original Wolfenstein is the grandfather of all modern FPS games.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The gameplay is super fun and the optimisation is ok, graphics go a little glitchy at 1440p and ultra wide is technically supported but the cutscenes look super fuzzy as they are 1080p blown up from cinema view and you cant actually see the gameplay tips in the corner of the screen.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Every scene is character lead, with masterful performances, convincing and iconic voice acting and just about most of the characters are extremely intriguing and never over stay their welcome.
