Played through the prologue of Wolfenstein: New Order last night.
Had a nice time with it. It felt like a fond retrospective nod to the shooters of the late-90s/early-00s - kind of silly and overblown in the way many shooters were then, but fun for it and having no pretensions to take itself seriously. I'm not sure how long this theme will keep me interested in 2014, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the prologue was deliberately retro in this way as an homage to Wolfenstein games past and that the game will open up and develop more complexity as it progresses. If not, well I'll probably still have some fun with it but it might be starting to overstay its welcome if the playtime of 11-12 hours I've been hearing about to complete it is accurate. Fun so far though...
