CONCLUSION
The open ended design was influenced by Arkane Studios which is popularly known for the Dishonored games. The idea that the gameplay should be flexible and can lead to numerous other possibilities removes the monotonous consistency from games and incentives users to play the game again because it could lead to a totally different and polarized ending from the last one. This adds an element of never seen before exhilaration to the usual one time play games. The moving and evolving storyline throws back the user in the 1980’s and has done justice to the previous edition’s storyline. The beauty about this edition is that even under the guidance of the very innovative Arkane Studios, the game has never lost its fundamental value and essence. Even after such radical changes the user still feels that Wolfenstein element which motivated existing players to be connected to this series. The involvement of another player would definitely mean more engagement which is followed by more excitement. The amalgamation of a co-op and open world game is a rare sight and this combined with the attraction that the buddy pass creates is beyond excellence. Intricate tweaks in details of elements has given the game a new face and this marks the birth of a bigger, better and stronger era of Wolfenstein.
