10 Brutally Honest Confessions Of A Bethesda Fan
3. Are Youngblood And 76 Hints On What's To Come?
With every good game that comes out of Bethesda, comes a seemingly mediocre or outright mess that sparks controversy and outrage.
Rage 2, for example, not great but nowhere near as bad as some, it was met with lukewarm responses and forgotten in 2019. Wolfenstein: Youngblood, on the other hand, is my sole reason for now being worried about everything published by Bethesda.
Say what you will about New Colossus’ shift from gameplay to story-focused, it was well-written and a fun, if not very cinematic experience.
The same cannot be said for Youngblood. It seems like a cash-grab, a poor attempt to squeeze as much out of the title’s goodwill as possible before moving onto the next franchise. Four hours stretched into twelve, made to be a grind and featuring progression-based microtransactions. Youngblood is a game that will be remembered with Fallout 76.
Enough about Wolfenstein, though. Let’s look forward, and what’s next? Doom Eternal.
Personally, I have hope for the new Doom. Especially with its trailers showcasing interesting spins on traversal, map design and new gameplay elements; I’m wanting more of the same with a bit of fresh paint. However, I had the same sentiments for Youngblood, just with a lot more excitement, and I was sorely disappointed.
