LTTP: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PC)
MachineGames’ Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus’ strengths do not lie within its gameplay. In a post-Doom (2016) world, Wolfenstein II feels clunky when played a balls to the wall action game.

My fiancee and I had a great time three starring the early stages but … Read More
