Tons of Cutscenes
If you have ever thought to yourself, “Hey, Wolfenstein would make a great movie,” you’ll love the amount of cutscenes in Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. From beginning to end, you’ll go through more than three hours of cutscenes but you’ll likely still find yourself wanting more. Wolfenstein 2 somehow found a way to even further improve on the already stellar storytelling of the series’ past. Perhaps it’s because the glue of the story comes in the form of a colorful cast of characters that are as dynamic as they come. The idea that Nazis are bad people isn’t really a complicated idea to grasp or dive into. How a group of rebellious freedom fighters might react to America being overrun by such a hateful group, however, is a far more complicated idea and MachineGames put a lot of thought into every single layer.
You’ll find that while all the characters have the same end goal in mind, they have very different motivations and reasoning behind their actions. These motivations and the characters themselves are carefully explored in these cutscenes and pull you in so deep that three hours worth of it just doesn’t feel like enough.
