Wolfenstein Youngblood SinglePlayer Mode - Can You Play Solo Offline?

From GameWatcher: "Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the first CO-OP focused game in the series, but thankfully, there is an offline single player mode for the less social of us to enjoy as well.

The Wolfenstein: Youngblood offline single player mode works much as you'd expect, with a few caveats to keep in mind. For example, you still get a partner to play with, but her AI is infamously bad. Find out how it works - below."

Yes... and no. My buddy tried playing alone and he said the AI is absolutely horrible, it's almost necessary to play through with a friend.

Honestly this game is awful and filled with bugs, on PC anyway, that's what i'm playing it on, and lucky for me, I didn't buy it, my friend did and I've just been playing by using the buddy pass. But we actually encountered a glitch where it doesn't give him anymore story missions, so we literally can't progress, need to start completely over, we were only 19% of the way in, but man is that annoying, not to mention a lot of the maps are the same looking, with the same building copy and pasted surrounding the map, not to mention the amount of times you return to the same location, it all just screams lazy.

Next on the big bad list is checkpoint inconsistency, sometimes they put a checkpoint when you're barely into a mission, and yet other times we get through a long mission and die at the VERY END and get sent alllllllllllll the way back to the begging, it literally makes no sense.

Another big issue is difficulty spikes, all of a sudden you hit a wall and you are forced to grind to level up just so you can progress, you run into enemies that can literally one and two shot you, but you can fire endless rounds into them and they still live, then you run out of ammo and are completely screwed, you are then 100% forced to go back and grind to be able to continue.

Last issue isn't that bad, but still kind of silly anyway. So of course people who are playing using the buddy pass can't play by themselves, that makes sense they didn't pay for the game, but the person who is playing with them and owns the game is almost forced to keep playing with whoever they started playing with, because as I said before, the AI is terrible, but also because if they go further ahead and leave their friend behind, their friend then becomes VERY underpowered very quickly making them have to replay all of those missions to get them up to speed anyway.

Not to mention the many bugs and technical glitches that happen regularly, enemies popping in and out in front of you, some bosses not even loading, it's legitimately a very flawed game and a 3 by user metacritic for a reason, the fact reviews are letting this get a pass is astonishing, and just goes to show you flat out can't trust reviews these days. This is an absolute mess of a game, from glitches to straight up design flaws, if a game like that can still get a 76 on metacritic by reviewers, but then a 3 by users, something is clearly off...... paid off.

Damn!!! Sorry to hear that,I bought it for the Pro so I may have to take my time with it because my friends don't play games like Wolfenstein.

Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood

Harryvok993d ago

I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
