While Youngblood 's first mission repeats the cramped-corridor annoyances that plagued too much of W2:TNC , the new game quickly broadens its level design to beautiful, wide-open cities. And that's good—not only because W2 's most fun levels emphasized open-air bombast but also because Youngblood is at its best when two players have multiple angles and vantage points to split up.
You and a friend can expect to divide a given battle arena up by flanking points, by a variety of tunnels, or by varying heights, then rotate and react accordingly from there once the fireworks begin. But the game lacks any form of single-player tactical system, such as ordering your partner to remain stealthy or run to a particular location.
As a result, some of the game's best co-op level design is harder to exploit in solo play. If you and your co-op gaming pal have missed the past five years of the rebooted Wolfenstein series, you're in for an action-packed treat. Like its predecessor, the game is built on the idTech 6 Engine, which means it's still good-looking and runs efficiently on a range of consoles and PC hardware. You'll enjoy no less than a 60fps refresh unless you're on Nintendo Switch while juggling super-charged versions of every standard military-shooter weapon under the sun.
Use your lightning-spewing "lasergewehr" gun to make robot foes explode, shatter, and sparkle; then use your machine-reloading shotgun to make human foes crumble, gib, and splatter. Dramatic lighting and particle effects are drizzled over every blast- and laser-filled battle, and the results will likely keep you tapping your dedicated "screen shot" button.
For the most part, MachineGames and Arkane Studios who teamed up on this semi-sequel's development have leaned into the best ideas from W2:TNC to make sure every multiplayer fight includes a delectable variety of combat zones, often chained together in a "semi-open world" format.
Extravagant multi-story buildings fill out much of this game, all full of natural cover points and reasons to run down stairs or jump to higher positions. Plus, it's easy to see the Arkane influence in a few of the more ornate levels, which have all the same verticality-filled trappings of Arkane's Dishonored games.
The worst I can say about a few of these levels is that they might be too massive; I had a few moments during pre-release testing where my teammate and I lost track of each other in the course of a battle. I'd hardly call that a "complaint. If your squad has torn through its fair share of Wolfenstein games before, the sales pitch is a bit tougher. Youngblood has done little to ramp up the game's enemy variety—let alone its AI—while boss battles revolve around simple, repetitive patterns and sky-high hit-point counts.
Honestly, this new game's boss qualities feel ripped from the worst parts of Destiny 1. There's also the matter of many zones recycling a lot of the same visual touches, and often I felt like I was battling through generic, Nazi-occupied Euro-wherever. Beyond the first-blush fun of trying a new gameplay experience, what exactly does a friend add to the Wolfenstein experience? In terms of mechanics, I'm sad to say that it's all rote stuff.
Should either twin sister run out of health and keel over, the surviving sibling can rush to their teammate and then hold a button for two seconds to bring them back to their feet with a sliver of health.
Fail to manually revive a teammate this way and you'll have to burn through your squad's shared pool of "lives" to keep the fight going. In awful news, no version of the game includes a split-screen option to enable the "free second player" scenario the way we all used to do it: on the same screen.
On my lower-powered Windows laptop, I got the game to run at well over fps at p resolution. Tell me why I can't double that rendering load and play the game with a second controller attached, Bethesda.
Each sister can equip a single rechargeable "pep talk" ability. When used, this gives both players some kind of temporary boost health, armor, weapon damage.
