The successor to the exceptional Uncharted 4, is an experience not to be missed.

Stuart Andrews loved it, giving the score of 10/10 Lost Legacy in his test: “in my view, is not just one of the best games of the summer, but one of the top blockbusters of the season, any medium. If Naughty Dog wants to stay here with the series, it will be hard to complain, but hope that they do not. Currently, more Uncharted would be anything but a bad idea. ยป

Pros:
Emotionally causing
The best system of discretion
Great content

Cons:
Weapons could be more creative
Animations and models of the characters sometimes have stiff air

A game that is much deeper than his style of series B would assume at first glance, Wolfenstein II delights with his fight at the first person creative and rhythmic. His scathing criticism of society is indeed supported, but there are few other games where to get the bad guys is also venting or justified.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus also managed the rare feat, for a suite, to be mainly at the level of its predecessor, by a real pleasure to play for the veterans of the first game. The story is fantastic, combining a distribution of engaging together with a genuinely moving scenario. Although the tone is sometimes irregular, it is always passionate about the idea of eliminating the threat of Nazi rule the world.
