Ranking All Games Published By Bethesda Softworks From Worst To Best

MachineGames decided to do the unthinkable when tasked with the concept of rebooting the Wolfenstein franchise. They tossed any form of multiplayer out and double-downed on telling a rich and involving campaign.

The plot starts fierce and familiar as you storm a massive Nazi fortress in a bombastic opening chunk, then after a chilling story fork, you’re suddenly whisked into the future in completely original and uncharted territory... where Nazis rule America with an Iron Fist!

Add to that, the main protagonist of B.J Blazkowicz is fantastic. A soldier haunted by his choices, meaningfully echoed by the excellent voice acting by Brian Bloom, and coupled with an involving romance plot at its center.

But what about the shooting though? Oh yes, that's plenty good as well.

Fierce, powerful, and always challenging shoot outs make up the majority of the campaign. The levels give you dynamic spaces to duel your opponents using pulse-pounding methods. Sometimes the odds can get a bit tiresome, but the challenge is always fair and allows you to switch up tactics in flavorful ways.

MachineGames took an unorthodox move with the FPS genre in the modern age, but it's one that has paid off in spades. The care taken with the campaign has finally created the follow-up to the original shooter that it deserves.
