Wolfenstein: The New Order

This game is heartbreaking. You begin fighting a losing war and watch as your brothers in arms die beside you. You then wake up to a world run by the most hateful, divisive, evil group in modern history. The enemy won, the world you knew is gone. BJ's entire purpose from there is to take back the world he lost or die trying. You feel his apathy to his own life as he throws himself at the enemy again and again making little dent. This is his one and only purpose, this is all he can do. He meets up and joins a group of other rebels against the Regime, minorities, outcasts and those deemed "unpure". They have something the authoritarians never have or will: Hope. They band together to take down and rescue prisoners of war, finding out what the Nazi's are doing and how to stop it. With fiction that has Nazi's as the antagonist, often the exploration of their acts are shallow, they are depicted as stand in bad guys with no exploration and frankly, no passion. A bland caricature of evil and wickedness. The Wolfenstien reboot HATES Nazi's, hates everything they stand for and shows how awful they are, and the effects this has on the minorities persecuted. It doesn't just call out their acts but the seeds that blossom to their disgusting fruit. It calls out the insecurity masking as strength, the forced, jammed down throat pseudoscience proclaiming itself to be natural. It intelligently, with courage call's out the bigotry inherent to White America, how the Nazi's learned originally from americas racist past and present to their own order. This game because of this intelligent introspection, sadly would not come out in this year, even though it is needed more than ever. It would be review bombed and for calling out what is the truth. BJ sacrifices himself at the end at the hope of a better world against a worse one, as so many did in the real second world war. genuinely truly inspiring and brilliant storytelling, told with respect and maturity. it shows the effects of the Nazi regime on an oppressed people and it decisively answers what to do with a Nazi, with flying colours.
