7.5/10

Basically, it's a not-as-good Wolfenstein: The New Order. Sure, the mechanics are mostly the same and if you liked those from the first game, you're golden. However, the story is mostly quite average with only two or three real peaks, the music isn't quite as gripping as the previous game's (although, that outro credits song was great), and you don't really care about the villains like you did Frau Engel or Deathshead.

• It's pretty much the first game, mechanic wise. There are a few minor additions to spice things up, but it's nothing that radically alters the formula The New Order introduced. If you liked the first game, in that regard, you'll like this.
  
• There was an atmosphere shift later on in the game that I did not expect that was rather well done.
  
• While I would rank this as objectively "worse" than The New Order, it was by no means a slog. While probably not something I'd replay, I was still quite content with finishing it and getting it off my list to get to The New Colossus.

• The first chapter was pretty boring. More boring than the moon mission in The New Order, but for a different reason than just the same-ol' enemies with different cosmetics. Maybe it was the level design, but it fell pretty flat and was a bumpy introduction to a game that already felt like more of the same (yet was somehow less, at the same time).
  
• Same issue as the first game: you get to digging into the story, you've collected all of these letters, you've read all of these news snippets and notes strewn across the maps, you're excited to see where it goes, and... the big reveal is a big "Really?" :/
