An addendum:

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

This was a very nice shooter. Just finished it yesterday, so it's going on the list.

I did have two major complaints about this game. First, the story takes a bit of a detour near the end that felt really out of place and didn't give any enjoyable gameplay to go along with it. In a movie, it would've been a deleted scene, and I think it should've been like that in this game too. It would've been a fun little bit to play through if it hadn't been in the main story slowing things down before the final assault on Nazis. Second, aiming down your sight is nearly useless except that it enables aim assist. You can't see anything when your sight is aimed down due to the size of the iron sights and the massive muzzle flash. I had more accuracy playing it almost entirely without ADS.

The rest of the game was fantastic. The graphics are gorgeous, as environments look super realistic, metal surfaces shine and shimmer, wooden boxes splinter upon being smashed, and disintegrating things with the laser weapons creates a dazzling light show. Very clean gunplay, dual wielding was fun, the weapons weren't too interesting but they were fun enough, and a competent story to go along. Killing Nazis and blowing stuff up makes for a good time as long as the game is built right. You often had flexibility in how you wanted to play - playing cover based was a bit safer usually, but you had room to run and gun and rush between zones if desired. Also plenty of opportunities for stealth, and enemies lose track of you after you're spotted if you're careful enough. The game's difficulty was pretty harsh, but it was always easy enough to retry, and usually I was dying cause I got caught out in the open which is on me.

I give it an 8/10, and would probably rank it right around or slightly below Watch Dogs 2.
