Wonderful game! Frau Engels is horrible!

I also like Shadow Warrior so I’ll probably enjoy this.

If the checkpoints are something that you think will bug you they might annoy you far more than they did me, though; there’s even the odd loading issue where it bugs out and has you taking on a heavily defended enemy barricade with just a pistol. It’s probably the least well-executed thing about New Order by a long way, and quite odd considering the developer’s shooter pedigree (they’re mostly ex-Starbreeze).

I’ll definitely be picking it up.

It does have more replay potential thanks to a neat alternate timeline thing you can set up in the prologue that I forgot to mention in the review proper.

Wolfenstein’s the better game, but obviously quite expensive at the moment.
