Like in Wolfenstein 3D, you can eat bowls of dogfood to regain health, but the game doesn’t congratulate itself for having made the reference. It doesn’t take itself very seriously, it’s a game that allows you to dual wield sniper rifles, but it’s keenly self-aware. It’s pulp and comic, it’s crass and ultraviolent but it plays it off with Tarantino coolness, with an understated soundtrack, affable cast and unconvoluted storyline that gives it a dark style all its own. It’s short on frills, never veering far from the fundamentals of what makes a good first-person shooter while still conveying a steady variety of new guns and new enemies and new surroundings in which to shoot those guns at those enemies. Wolfenstein: The New Order is a shooting game fan’s shooting game.
