The timeline of these two stories have been connected to provide old users a sense of excitement and to make it relatable whereas making the gameplay equally understandable and digestible for new users attracted to the necessary radical changes in the game. The story takes a leap of 19 years from where it’s predecessor left and the main proganist’s story has been continued. B.J Blazkowics, the hero, disappeared during a mission in Paris which is plagued by the evil Regime and his daughters have now taken the prerogative to find him. Your job is to take the action-packed duo, Jess and Soph through this strenuous journey where they face obstacles ranging from regime soldiers to even next-gen robotic dogs. You have to strategize a way to achieve this goal from a headquarters assigned to the daughters in the catacombs of Paris. In the pursuit to find their father, the girls have to use pistols, assault rifles and shotguns to kill enemy Nazi soldiers and the tweaks in the gameplay guarantee that you will always be at the edge of your gaming chairs. After working with Arkane Studios on the Dishonored Games, Machine Games has put forward a new interactive interface and gameplay which is an absolutely necessary rendition to the game and it clearly points to the fact that Machine Games will continue to set unprecedented benchmarks in the sphere of PC gaming. The user-oriented approach for the game will increase interaction and is set to appeal to the already built fan base due to the success of the first deserving edition of Wolfenstein

FEATURES

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is not your usual boring PC game which forces you to play the game in a specific order. It provides a platform for you to actually interact and enjoy the gameplay by introducing a new flexible gameplay which familiarizes you to an open ended gameplay style. You choose the way you want to play the game and the order in which it goes and additional features like new weapons and new abilities will gradually unlock with progress. There is also an addition to introduce a RPG element to the game to make it intensive.

Another excellent feature is the co-operative gameplay of the newest edition of Wolfenstein. You can play with another person or also play with the computer incase of absence of a person. You play through the eyes of Jess or Soph and your friend/PC will assume the role of the other. You have to complete the campaign together in co-ordination. Double the players means double the action and excitement.

The Buddy Pass is another added feature to facilitate the co-op nature of the game. The Buddy Pass gives you an option to partner with your colleague to play the game even if he has now bought the game. However, your colleague can only play the game at the time you are online. You can make the use of Buddy Pass with unlimited friends as possible but only one at a time.

There have also been massive miscellaneous alterations to the game that include but are not limited to new locations, new enemies, new weapons and new abilities.

The new heavy armored elite fighters like the new addition, the Diesel Soldier, have the ability to endure more damage and give you and your partner something new and tougher to deal with. Modifications have been done to the characters of the sisters and they have now been assigned new innovative powers like short term invisibility and better pain endurance. These changes have revolutionized the Wolfenstein series and will also positively impact the gameplay of the upcoming 3rd part of this series which is the VR game called Wolfenstein CyberPilot

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.
