Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus has been out for practically two months, which suggests it’s Wolfentime for the primary correct episode of DLC. Episode 1 of The Freedom Chronicles launched in a single day, and follows the exploits of Gunslinger Joe. He’s a former American soccer quarterback who’s mad on the Nazis for making him play correct soccer, which looks as if a fairly tame origin story by Wolfenstein requirements.
Here’s how the official blurb pitches it:
“Play as the unbreakable Joseph Stallion, a former professional quarterback forced to play soccer by the Nazis! Using your Ram Shackles ability, smash through hordes of Nazi soldiers from the ruins of Chicago to the vastness of space!”
I nonetheless haven’t gotten over the title ‘Gunslinger Joe’, however Joseph Stallion could be even higher. If solely you may play as his friends, Bullet-toting Bob and Peashooter Pete. (I actually needed to say five-iron Ian, although sadly I simply discovered that may reference a golf membership reasonably than a gun. I’ve wielded neither.)
I collect from the Steam person opinions that the DLC is about 2 hours lengthy, and places extra emphasis on frontal assaults than stealth. That final half is okay with me, as a result of my makes an attempt at stealth in the primary sport go much the same as Adam’s – “Maybe I’m crap at sneaking, but I barely managed to stay hidden for much longer than the first encounter with an enemy in any area. Crouch, squat-walk, axe to the back of the knee, neck-snap, ALARM ALARM.” Alec could be disillusioned although, who’s discovered extra success with his more patient approach to Wolfenstealth.
Two extra episodes of the Freedom Chronicles are due in January and March, with marginally extra smart sounding protagonists:
“The Diaries of Agent Silent Death: January 30 – As ex-OSS agent and murderer Jessica Valiant, infiltrate Nazi bunkers in California and uncover the secrets and techniques of Operation San Andreas!
The Amazing Deeds of Captain Wilkins: March 2018 – As the US Army’s famend hero Captain Gerald Wilkins, embark on a mission to Nazi-controlled Alaska to dismantle Operation Black Sun!”
Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles – Episode 1 is obtainable on Steam for £7.99/$9.99/€9.99. If that’s not sufficient freedom for you, you may seize the season pass for £17.99/$24.99/€24.99 as a substitute, which incorporates these three episodes plus the bonus Episode zero.
