All of that is extra icing that could not possibly bring down the quality. Which leaves me to say: If you want a good shooter, play Wolfenstein 2. If you want an incredible single-player story, play Wolfenstein 2. There will be a third Wolfenstein. Quite how MachineGames will ever top the second, I do not know
When I finished my playthrough, I sat watching the credits roll with a huge grin on my face, quite convinced I hadn’t played a better first-person shooter in years. I’ll keep coming back for a long time thanks to bountiful epilogue missions, plus an alternate-timeline playthrough that grants access to another side character, scenes, and weapons. But these things are just gravy. On its own merits the campaign is unbeatable, packed to the gills with unforgettable story moments and fantastic combat sequences. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a bold game that rages and soars, deftly balancing pulp sci-fi with deadly seriousness, and one that should not be missed by anyone interested in the power of storytelling in video games.

I wonder if the writer has any self-awareness at all? But - I forget - this is Polygon we're talking about. It was a silly question.

PC version is on the high seas now
Never got far on New Order on PS4 and got shut of my copy a while back. Was about to pirate the first game to run through it but it's only £3.99 on CDKeys so that will do.
Damn man do you pirate pretty much everything? Cmon son, the industry seems hell bent on Killing off quality SP games that aren't front loaded with microtransactions, maybe throw a few quid towards machinegames for this one before Wolf 3 gets turned into a f2p moba or something. If you did buy it apologies, but you're always posting about games being up for torrenting so it seems that way

The whole 'oh your harming the industry' is the biggest pile of wankery ever, if I had no intention of ever paying then no loss in sale there really is there?
