Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Gameplay
Completed the game in "I am death incarnate" mode difficulty, that truly awesome, you're likely to die in-game by 1-2 hit by bullets, giving the player sense of challenge for beating it and rethinking the strategy to survive. Dual wield weapons not limited by same weapon, meaning you can mix your weapons in dual wield mode, except truly heavy weapon which required both hand to use it won't able to execute that. Enchancement/Contraption added to player half way through the gameplay. Gameplay is truly hard on "I am death incarnate" but BJ Blazko will gradually overpowering enemies with perk/upgrade later on, strategically cover based shooting recommended. Game no longer separated by stage, rather it felt continuously episodic storyline & you can revisit some of places by discovering side quest mission. Be mindful, as default button mapping for Melee & Hand granate throw differ from Doom, and careful between enabling 'hint' & 'hand granate' button as the button side by side, won't lie i did mistakenly press wrong button 1-2 times on my playthrough. Hardest difficulty is lock for first timer.

Graphics
Graphics are top notch, shockingly beautiful & realistic sometime which making me capture more than 1000++ screenshots, but beauty came with flaws, between Mein Ieben & Low quality settings have not shown much differ, only noticable the shadow part in game. There are 'screen tearing' effect in game on Neu York Sky & Venus Sky, it will visibly appear by moving crosshair on Sky part in game.

Storyline
Voice acting & Dialogues are amazing but less appropriate to be play of course in front of family, If you are rushing through and played on easier difficulty, most likely could beat it on less than 10hrs, but I did played slowly with few sidequest completed giving me 25hrs on my first playthrough. There is public figure in history feature in game too, you shall discovering it soon enough. bit missing link of Da'at Yichud storyline, probably due to sensitivity of linking between Jewish religion. Ending is subjective depending on how the player view it, it gave me sense of strong satisfaction through the end.

Performance Issues
I had encountered multiple crash on early game, but doesn't ruin gaming experience. If crosshair and mouse stuck on screen, just try Alt+Tab it will fix the problem.

Pro Tip
Set launch options command:

+r_disableSteamOverlay 0 +com_skipBootSequence 1

for enabling steam overlay (if didn't work in game) & Skipped license intro / instant launch to main menu

I'm not denying there are strongly Antifa propaganda in game, Personally not siding with both factions, only enjoying amazing Gunplay part & great storyline which are for me truly over the Top.

This will be my best FPS game right after The Doom (2016).
