Esse jogo é uma ♥♥♥♥♥, e é triste ver o que fizeram com Wolfenstein, pois os anteriores foram muito superiores. Até o de MS-DOS é melhor que esse Youngblood.
A história não tem pé nem cabeça, as missões são aleatórias, os personagens só são uns NPCs idiotas sem vida e carisma. Simplesmente não dá vontade de seguir jogando. Se você jogar um pouco e decidir sair, nem salva o progresso direito por causa desse co-op forçado.
Únicas coisas boas que posso apontar seriam a jogabilidade, gráficos e o detalhamento dos cenários, mas mesmo com esses pontos fortes o jogo é fraco e sem vida.
Incrível que uma empresa como a Bethesda só vem entregando jogos ruins nos últimos tempos.

I wanted to like this game. I assumed the negative reviews were the typical, eye-rolling backlash that accompanies every game with female protagonists who aren't built like adult film stars. But Youngblood ended up being one of the worst first-person shooters I've ever played.


STRUCTURE

Structure is this game's cardinal sin. The previous Wolfenstein reboots were story-driven single-player experiences. They were set up like traditional story campaigns with beginnings, middles, and ends. Not so with Youngblood. Youngblood is a co-op mission-based game. It's meant to be played online, with a friend, in the style of something like Destiny. You fast-travel to various locations, complete objectives, fight enemies, and head back to the hub world. It's built around grinding for in-game currency to improve your weapons, unlock your skill tree, and buy cosmetic enhancements. There are also daily, weekly, and monthly objectives to meet, in the style of a free-to-play online shooter. The structure is a slap in the face to everything previous Wolfenstein games accomplished. It's impossible to find anyone to play with and has probably been that way since the first month of the game's release. I don't know why you would want to play with anyone anyway, because the missions must be completed in one go. Saving and exiting means restarting the mission from the beginning. Dying three times also means starting the mission from the beginning. Not to mention, the missions are excruciatingly long. You had better have two hours to commit, without interruption, every time you play. Otherwise, expect to repeat the same mission over and over. At the time of this writing, I've sunk eight hours into the game and have completed one - exactly one - mission beyond the tutorial phase. I got to the final area of the mission, didn't realize it was the final area, exited the game for the night, only to discover there were no save points during missions, and I had to start over from the beginning. That one mission rocketed me to level 22 (because there's an RPG-style leveling system) and allowed me to unlock basically every tier-one weapon upgrade. One mission lasted almost as long as the entirety of The New Colossus. It's ridiculous the amount of time you're expected to invest in this slog.

GAME PLAY

The game feels horrible. I can't sugar coat it. The series always struggled with weak-feeling guns, and these are the weakest yet. Enemies are bullet sponges. Since the game has an RPG-leveling system, your guns do damage based on your level. So headshots no longer kill standard enemies in one hit. Enemies absorb clip after clip, even on normal difficulty. (I started on hard, got annoyed with how tanky the enemies were, switched it to normal, and noticed no appreciable difference.) If stealth was overused in The New Colossus, it's rendered totally useless here. You have a cloaking device that allows you to move invisibly between enemies. But it drains in five seconds (before upgrades, which will take 25-50 levels to unlock) and only allows you to use a melee weapon. Since headshots no longer kill, it's impossible to eliminate an enemy with a gun, unnoticed, from cover, which makes the pistol a complete joke for the majority of the game. Nearly every encounter will lead to a firefight, and the enemies are always a few levels above you; so you'll always feel weaker than them. On top of that, the game introduces an armor mechanic that I don't understand. Some guns deal more damage to certain enemies, but I have no idea how to tell which enemy is weak to which gun. Armor is represented by little blocks beside their health bars. I can't tell the difference between heavy-armor blocks and light-armor blocks, and I don't know which gun damages which. It doesn't matter anyway, because guns frequently run out of ammo due to the bullet-sponge nature of the enemies. More than likely, you'll be shooting with whatever happens to be on hand. Word to the wise, don't invest too much in heavy weapons that you loot from elite and boss enemies. They run out of ammo in about three seconds and don't do much damage anyway. Say goodbye to the enemy-dissolving power of the Laserkraftwerk, or the face-melting fury of double shotguns. Nothing damages these Nazis.

STORY

I can't comment much on the story, because I experienced almost none of it before I lost interest and stopped playing. The thing about Wolfenstein is that it was always carried by its characters. They were so full of color and personality compared to other titles. That's the missing ingredient here. The main characters are twin daughters of B. J. Blazkowicz, and they're either eleven or twenty-five years old. I can't tell. They look twenty-five, but they act eleven - slapping at each other, acting out Nancy-Drew-type detective stories, mimicking each other, etc. They have the ability to massacre thousands of Nazis, but they behave like kindergarteners. Maybe they mature as the plot develops. Maybe the story is trying to make a statement about child soldiers. I didn't get far enough to find out. And with the way the game is structured, I don't know how the story could have possibly progressed.

Aside from the Bazkowicz sisters, the rest of the cast is uninspired. There's a stereotypical girl-genius who can do anything and has no flaws. There are dull-as-dishwater resistance members who exist solely to give you quests. You won't find any wacky, haunted, or insightful characters here. Given the game's structure, I don't see how the plot could expand upon the abrupt ending of The New Colossus; so I guess that story remains a loose end forever. It's such a disappointment, taking the best narrative in the first-person-shooter category, sucking all the life out of it, and turning it into something that's practically a live-service model.

CONCLUSION

I approached this game with optimism and ended up hating it. I thought it would reinvigorate the series, but it abandoned its winning formula entirely. It has all the previous games' flaws and none of their charm. If the Blazkowicz twins inherited the worst, most violent tendencies of their father, this game learned all the wrong lessons from its parents. Its structure is atrocious. The multiplayer aspect, around which the entire game is built, is dead. It has no good characters, weak weapons, bullet-sponge enemies, useless stealth mechanics, and introduces grinding and leveling into a series that definitely didn't need them.

The one positive thing I can say about it is that it runs better on PC than New Colossus. Someone learned to optimize.

4/10. Youngblood is a massive goose step in the wrong direction. Don't play it. It will make you sad.

Nem na promoção está valendo a pena, mesmo co-op é complicado indicar esse aqui. Melhor ficar nos jogos anteriores mesmo.
