ARMA is an extremely interesting concept - unique (as far as I know) to the ARMA series - that is very nearly pulled off. The realism creates gripping gameplay, with immersion being let down by AI and audio issues. The game is bound with plausible (if a bit simple) storey, with a few twists throughout that gets the player thinking! The graphics are also very well done (for it's age), with fantastic scenery delivered by a well optimised engine that allows for smooth, 60FPS gameplay!

A few issues, but worth a look as one of the precious few examples of the realistic shooter genre!

My last encounter with a Wolfenstein game was Wolfenstein 3D (if you can beleive that), so I was expecting to be a continuation of the concept: you have some guys and you have some guns, and you have to get from A to B killing of many of said guys with said guns as possible. So, when I first Started up Wolfenstein: The New Order, I was expecting a dumb shooter, but what I got was far more than that! What really struck me was the depth and quality of the story, which was probably the best for any First Person Shooter that I've played. The game was also boosted by a set functional and enjoyable game mechanics. It did have it's faults however: some levels were pluaged by AI issues, I practically stuck to one gun throughout the entire game because the rest were useless, and despite being a relatively new game (2014) running on Ultra graphics, some very low resolution bitmaps were a bit blatant and offputting.

Overall, I found the gameplay and story of Wolfenstein: The New Order to be highly enjoyable and I'm even considering going back through to play the other timeline - which I don't often do! The flaws, when they appear, are noticeable, but ultimately do little to detract from what is otherwise a great game!
