The verdict
A brutal, over-the-top Nazi-killing shooter with excellent gunplay and a wild, cutscene-heavy story. Skip it if you dislike tonal whiplash and political themes, or if your PC is prone to driver crashes.
Great for
Fans of brutal, fast run-and-gun shooters who enjoy campy, unhinged cinematic stories
Main risk
Crashes or freezes (especially on AMD) and a story many find cringe, plus difficulty spikes
