The verdict
A co-op-focused Wolfenstein spin-off with fun gunplay and great level design, but grindy, repetitive and weak on story. Skip it if you want a solo BJ campaign or can't get co-op working.
Great for
Players with a friend who want cheap, brainless Nazi-shooting co-op and treat it as a spin-off
Main risk
Expecting a story-driven BJ sequel and getting a grindy, level-gated co-op shooter with shaky online
What changed in the last 30 days
29 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mention co-op not working, AMD 9000-series crashes and reused complaints about weak story and bot partner. The pattern seems tied to co-op and driver problems, though we're not certain.
