I am generally suspicious of games that people say are “better with friends,” simply because most things are. Manual labor, paying taxes, repeatedly

Agreement—

A Nazi-infested world crafted by Arkane looks exactly as you think it should.

Agreement—

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a spin-off with big ambitions let down by lacklustre execution.

Critic50/100

Agreement—

Thanks to questionable tactics, a tedious and boring structure, bullet spongey enemies, and a narrative that's completely throwaway, Wolfenstein: Youngblood is far and away the worst entry in the franchise this generation. Some of its inventive combat mechanics remain intact, but they're completely overshadowed by throwaway side quests that we were tired of five years ago. This is a boring, tedious slog through Nazi-occupied Paris that you can probably skip.

Even if you don’t care about disjointed storytelling, repetitive levels or cringe-worthy jokes, I can’t recommend Youngblood.

Critic80/100

Agreement—

The Blazkowicz sisters steal the show in a bite-sized cooperative spin-off FPS that packs a hell of a punch, further invigorating the franchise.

Agreement—

A co-op spin-off does Wolfenstein better and worse than ever.

Agreement—

A popular series expands into co-op, but simplifies just about everything else

Critic65/100

Agreement—

Youngblood is aggressively okay, but doesn’t come close to recapturing the joy of its predecessor.

Agreement—

Youngblood takes some new risks for the series that pay off handsomely.
