Xbox One Critic Reviews

This game does not really break new ground, but it is a good meat and potatoes shooter and has been well designed and promises to be an enjoyable game to play with friends.

It’s no doubt better when played with a friend, but even if you plan on playing it alone, Wolfenstein: Youngblood is worth picking up.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is another crazy and explosive experience that provides plenty of content to enjoy, the focus on cooperation adds some new ideas to the mix, you can enjoy this game in single player but you should definitely play it with a friend.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood may not be quite what I expected in a new entry to the series, but damn, if it isn’t good. The ‘live service’ additions detract slightly from the experience, but that glorious combat more than makes up for it. Add in some wonderfully crafted play spaces to explore (if only there was a couple more) and you’ve got yourself a great way to spend a weekend. The main campaign will be over quick, but while it lasts, it’s great, wholesome, Nazi killing fun.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood inherits the main series' involving and challenging shooting gameplay, with some welcome news like co-op support and a more open-ended levels design. It partly disappoints due to and easily forgettable cast of characters, a bit of repetitiveness and lack of local co-op, but at its price it's definitely a good buy for FPS action lovers.

No, this isn’t a dark, serious Wolfenstein moment. It’s just pure, unadulterated shoot-em-up coop fun.

The story brings a satisfying conclusion, and there are plenty of Nazis to kill once more, which in turn makes for another enjoyable Wolfenstein experience.

Mix the best of two great teams and it's fun, so much fun. The action is still thrilling, and the gunplay smooth. It is probably the game with the best atmosphere and stage design of the franchise thanks to the collaboration of Arkane Studios. But it fails to offer an attractive multiplayer proposal with lasting progress.

Youngblood is blast with friends, but its mission design is, in many occasions, just bad. This sort of open world approach could’ve worked, but not like this. If you like coop shooters you’ll have a good time, but bear in mind you’ll be facing some questionable checkpoints (or the lack of thereof) and walking up and down the same scenarios over and over.

Using everything Arkane can do in terms of level-design, Wolfenstein Youngblood offers an interesting new take on what’s a Wolfenstein game. But for a co-op game, it doesn’t have substantial co-op mechanics.
