About this game

How it plays

This is a bundle, not a single campaign, and that’s the whole point of it. You get Wolfenstein: The New Order, its standalone prequel The Old Blood, the sequel Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and the co-op spinoff Youngblood, which means you’re looking at first-person shooting that swings between tightly scripted, story-heavy campaigns and a looser, more replayable co-op mission structure. The core loop across the single-player games is classic MachineGames: dual-wielding chunky weapons, stealth-killing when you can, going loud when you can’t, and pushing through Nazi-occupied environments that double as a twisted mirror of real history. Youngblood breaks from that formula by handing the reins to two playable characters and leaning into repeatable missions built for a partner, so the pacing and structure feel noticeably different from the story games it’s bundled with.

Who it’s for

If you like your shooters with a strong authorial voice, this is squarely for you. MachineGames writes some of the more memorable characters in the genre, and the alternate-history setting gives the violence a point beyond just being violence. Fans of BJ Blazkowicz’s saga, or anyone who wants to see how a Nazi-occupied 1960s America and a fascist 1980s Paris actually play out, will get a lot out of stringing all four games together in order. It’s less of a fit if you only want one tight, self-contained campaign and don’t care about connecting threads across games, since two of these four titles ask you to already be invested in the story to get the most out of them. Youngblood in particular is worth tempering expectations for if you’re going in solo, since it’s built around having a co-op partner.

Is it worth it?

Four games for one purchase is a strong ratio on paper, and here it actually holds up because the campaigns are meaty and the writing carries you through even the rougher patches. Buying the whole collection instead of piecing together individual entries later usually works out better for anyone who already knows they want the full arc, since you’re not stuck deciding which sequel to skip. This is exactly the kind of collection that rewards patience: it’s not a game you need to play the week it drops, so waiting for it to show up discounted and then burning through the story at your own pace is a perfectly reasonable way to approach it.
