My best friend and I played for a couple of hours last night It looks really good and is pretty fun. Easy for him to join me. I didn't notice particularly long loading times. Defeated the first boss which was pretty hard because he can cloak. Took a couple of tries. I really like playing co-op FPS games so I imagine we will enjoy this one.

Wow this is getting slammed in reviews. Probably be half the price or free with Game Pass in no time. Oh well. I’ll see. Would love that 3rd entry in new Wolfenstein though...

I think I’m gonna go through 1 & 2 before this. Been an age since I played 1. 2, I guess when it was first released, I think. Might be a nice little trilogy to start on. Then more Gears...

I feel like I'm probably 70% done with the game and I'm having a blast with it. I've been playing solo (obviously) and I went into it knowing it wasn't going to be a full fledged Wolfenstein game so I haven't been disappointed.

It's pretty damn hard. I had to drop it to casual difficulty just to get past the beginning. I hope a patch comes along to fix the boss fights. If you die with no extra shared lives and little ammo left, when you come back, that's what you start the boss battle with. Not much fun.

Most of the review scores I've seen put this at 7/10 to 8.5/10....there are some at 6/10 (like IGN and Destructoid) but I wouldn't say the game is getting overall slammed.

with 73.17% on PC and other, though little reviews, barely above 60, i wouldn't say that is good by any means...

I hear they made it difficult (even on lower difficulties) in order to entice players to buy their add-ons/cheats that make the game easier, which are certainly readily available, so if the game was too easy, no one would need those.

The final boss just ruined the game for me. I was having a lot of fun playing through on casual and everything was fine until that fight. I'm level 43 and the minimum is 35 and I don't even see how it's beatable playing solo. One person needs to stay at his front while the other shoots from behind and your co-op partner just stays right by you so just the first part of the fight takes like 30 minutes and all my ammo. The second part is even worse because he can take all your health and armor in like 5 seconds including your co-op partner who you have to keep alive or you die. It's also hard to focus on him because their are constant rockets being shot from a plane at you and respawning enemies shooting at you also. I tried 5 times spent like 2 hours and then dropped it to the lowest difficulty and still barely doing any damage to him on the second part. I spend all my time trying to keep the co-op partner alive. Well it was fun while it lasted but I'm done.

Perhaps a patch will fix this last boss difficulty. If people are giving up then that’s insane, even on easy. I plan to go through first 2 before this so hopefully...

Wait so you can’t pause and there are no checkpoints? Wtf good does this game have. Each review I read is it’s just frustrating to play. I play to have fun, not be frustrated. I’m disappointed...

Better question is, why would you buy this game at all with how absurdly horrible it is?

No. I planned playing, still look forward to it, but would rather wait due to possible patches and the not so stellar reviews. I don’t mind getting now. It was only $30, so never be disappointed with purchase due to fact I want all in this series and besides the difficulties can wait now to play. That despite it could be free by the time I get to. I suck it up. Oh well. We all have those purchases that we get but have yet to play. I only did 1 mission and it was barely that prior to opening of RDR2. I’ve never been disappointed with a purchase especially in series I like and despite reviews. Yes, I panic and want to know from players here how they are prior to me playing bc then I could wait a bit. Most I start on release. Borderlands 1, Red Dead 1, Call of Duty’s, Doom, Wolfenstein's, FC5, Odyssey. Have yet to have a dud. Luckily Anthem was free due to glitch in the Matrix, but really only one I would have though lost money, but didn’t, so all been good thus far. I only get ones I know I want and despite peeps here, I do my hw. I watch pre gameplay videos. Read some articles. I do stuff contrary to popular belief. So I’m almost certain when I pay. I don’t like to throw away $ either....

For the record the game is very difficult maybe impossibly so at the end, but it's not absurdly horrible. It's a competent FPS that looks good and works well in co-op and has some cool new co-op mechanics. I love the idea of buying a game and having my less enthusiastic friend be able to play it with me at minimal cost to me and none to him. Do I wish that I hadn't bought it prior to the launch Yes I do. But it's not close to the worst purchase I have ever made on a video game. I can live with the mistake and do enjoy playing some of it with my friend
