In today's climate, first-person shooters are steering further away from their single-player features in favor of embracing hot new trends (i.e Battlefield V's and Black Op 4's Battle Royale focus). Thankfully, this isn't the case with all AAA titles, particularly the rebooted Wolfenstein series. In a genre that has de-prioritized the time-tested FPS campaigns, Wolfenstein makes it a top priority, and it's far better because of it.

Rather than half-heartedly attempting to include lackluster modes, developer MachineGames instead finetunes the central campaign to the utmost degree, ensuring what's there is the best it possibly can be. Because of this, the game's campaign is utterly superb, offering excellent gameplay while providing an immersive storyline with characters that earn your emotional investment.

Because of this commitment to quality over quantity, this is a game that will stand the test of time. Much like those classic titles from a decade (or longer) ago that gamers look back on with great reverence, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus put gameplay experience at the top of their priority list.

If you're a fan of shooters in any sense, Wolfenstein 2 deserves your money (and it's available on just about any platform).
