8 Reasons Wolfenstein II Is Better Than Call Of Duty: WW2

5. Characters You Really Care About

Credit where credit's due, Sledgehammer do give us a genuine band of brothers that go through hell, knife wounds and beatdowns to emerge stronger across the story - but just by contextual proxy, they're nothing when compared to The New Colossus' array of heroes.

There's Max Hauss, the "Hodor" of the group who expresses all thought by saying his name. Partner Aya who spends most of the game pregnant (yet this doesn't stop her getting stuck into battle), the Black Panther-esque Grace Walker and plus-sized Sigrun Engel, a Nazi defector who shines a light into how the Germans are operating in America.

Machinegames know they're onto something phenomenal with a very Mass Effect-style party sequence late in the game too - but it goes to show: On a basic scriptwriting level, there's far more to Wolfenstein's troupe than more "hoo-rah!/I've got a girl back home" American soldier stereotypes.
