Wolfenstein: Youngblood Review - IGN

Youngblood is aggressively okay, but doesn’t come close to recapturing the joy of its predecessor.

[badz149]

if IGN is giving it this score, then it doesn't look good for the game already

[KyRo]

And your basing your view from IGN of all places? IGN have been known for being paid off, changing scores and have exclusives review bombed by fan boys of the opposite console.

It baffles me why casuals see IGN as the Holy grail of reviews. Like their word is final and no other publication matters.

Maybe it is a 6.5 game but take anything IGN scores with a pinch of salt.

[Hungryalpaca]

Many other reviewers are saying wait for it to be on sale. The daughters are painfully boring and the level design is very average. It’s also becoming more sanitized in the executions and brutality.

It’s just an average passable game.

[badz149]

"IGN have been known for being paid off..."

THAT was exactly my point. if they can't pay IGN to give it more than 6.5, it just means that other unpaid reviews might look much worse

[King_Noctis]

If you look around Metacritic, it not only IGN who gave this game low score. Sites like Destructoid and COGConnected also gave this game low score. Are you saying those sites are biased and were paid off as well?

https://www.metacritic.com/...

[GamingIVfun]

14 of the 19 reviews on metacritic, as of July 26, gave the game 79 or above, 13 are 80 or above. It's good game that is only 30 dollars. It's a co-op RPG shooter that looks and plays amazingly well. I'm enjoying it and would give it an 85 - 89 out of a 100. It's a better than average game.

[quent]

So how bad a score would this have gotten if IGN wasn't paid off?

[GamingIVfun]

Should have added that the metacritic scores were for the PC version.

[killswitch80]

Game Informer gave it an 85..having played the game its around 80 to 85. IGN is filled with Nazis

[CP_Company]

badz149, can you imagine a scenario, where IGN did not get any money and decided to bomb the review because of that? with the message : you will pay us or will bomb it again.

[jznrpg]

IGN stands for Ignore -

[xVOLTx]

If anyone believes reviews overall It is sad. Reviews are not reliable.

[Silly gameAr]

Well, there's a demo, so you can try it out for yourself.

[mijayire]

Wow what a step back.

[SkatterBrain]

cancelled my pre order, gonna get Control on Ps4 Pro instead

[zielocz3k]

Control looks medicore at best

[SkatterBrain]

i still had fun with Quantum Break , i just kept forgetting which buttons did which powers and which powers needed to be used at certain spots

[killswitch80]

because of IGN LMAO. Other review sites actually gave it good remarks. I bought both and preorderd a bunch of other games because I do my own research and just use refund policies and see if I actually like it myself.. but again you canceled because of IGN my side hurts from laughing..Game Informer gave it an 8.5 so yeah its got a mixed bag of reviews.

[-Foxtrot]

Good marks? Barley

[jznrpg]

I wouldn’t go off IGN or any singular review. Read several reviews at least . Most of the reviews I have seen give it an 8/10

[SkatterBrain]

i seriously feel stupid for passing on Days Gone for $26 just cause of the average reviews, next time i see it that low ill snatch it

[SkatterBrain]

havent Been Dissapointed by any Remedy Game, I just wish everything felt like the Sniper bullet in Max Payne, where the camera followed it to its target

[SonyStyled]

Isn’t it $40?

[SkatterBrain]

yeah but like a few weeks ago i saw it for $30 on new egg with a discount code and $26 on this other deal i saw , the main reason i skipped out was that my 2 terabyte PS4 was full and even my 2 external 1 terabyte hard drives, bricked my last Firecuda so im trying to avoid using an external drive

[Elda]

Picking my copy up tonight.

[-Foxtrot]

They need to make this non-canon...like STRAIGHT AWAY, just say it and get us hyped for Wolfenstein 3

Don't make Anya have twins, if she does then have them as a boy and a girl or say one of them was killed fuelling their rage against the Nazi's

I just don't understand why they didn't make a spin off featuring Anya. They could have set it straight after the second game where BJ needs rescuing and have her lead the way.

A pregnant bad ass killing Nazi's, least Anya is more established and likable

[LOGICWINS]

After how poorly this one sells, I'm sure it'll be non-canon.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'm sure this will do fine.. It's my first preorder since Doom 2016

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

The twins regardless of their sex, already have a good reason to hate Nazis. They were born during the revolution against Nazis that started at the end of The New Colossus.
Also a pregnant woman fighting Nazis was absolutely ridiculous, even for Wolfenstein.

[-Foxtrot]

REALLY? You did see her and BJ have sex in the middle of an outpost after killing a bunch of Nazis and having blood everywhere

Considering a pregnant Anya already did half that shit in the sequel it’s no where near ridiculous so let’s not bullshit

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Wolfenstein is an FPS game and Dialling back the lubricious aspects of The New Colossus will probably be beneficial for Wolfenstein 3. Unfortunately, The New Colossus was written by a person who comes off as an SJW with a pregnancy fetish.

[CrimsonWing69]

It’s aggressively ok? So it’s a really strong ok, makes sense. You did an aggressively ok job reviewing this game.

[Battlestar23]

Still getting it I've played loads of games that got a similar score and ended up enjoying them and that is what counts imo.

[Soybetaboy]

BS

[Inzo]

Why?

[2pacalypsenow]

They think they can just release a female led game and expect it to be a critical success?

More trash like any of the “female” reboots in Hollywood.

[Hatsu12]

Devs: But.. but.. how can this be ?!?! We have even used our trump card... the female protagonist card! Surely this is another case of toxic masculinity at work!

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Get woke go broke.

[Garethvk]

I am enjoying it. It is just different in that you have to complete the level to advance and both must survive.

[Rachel_Alucard]

I absolutely hated New Colossus after how good New Order was and this just further increased my hatred for it.

[AK91]

IGN is well known for being out of touch with the gaming industry so this game is probably worth a purchase.

[PowerOfTheCloud]

"bj's twin daughters" already let me know that i will pass on that game. Sounded stupid and super boring to begin with and seemed to turned out as i expected. Watch me waiting for the next proper wolfenstein...........

[Yui_Suzumiya]

My only Day 1 purchase of the year. Love it ❤
