Defeating a giant fire-breathing robot dog doesn't seem feasible at first, but it is with the right combination of weapons, strafing, taking cover, and scrounging for health and ammo while on the run. On top of that, the game is just generally difficult.
Even after the Da'at Yichud armor from The New Order gives Blazkowicz his mobility back, his labored breathing reveals a man who is running out of fuel-and time. But overcoming them is gratifying in a way that simply killing all the Nazis can't match. You shoot with one hand and slowly wheel yourself through Eva's Hammer's corridors with the other. Bound to a wheelchair, his organs failing, Blazkowicz feels oddly vulnerable. This first mission sets the tone for the rest of The New Colossus. General Engel tracks them down five months later, and as her troops storm the resistance's stolen U-boat (Eva's Hammer, your base of operations), Blazkowicz wakes up to shoot more Nazis. Following the explosion during the fight with Deathshead, BJ's insides are falling out, and the crew of the Kreisau Circle does their best to put him back together again.
The New Colossus picks up right after the events of The New Order, and unsurprisingly, our hero Blazkowicz is in bad shape. And despite some heavy-handed moments that feel like missteps in its message, satisfying Nazi-killing action bolsters its completely bonkers storyline in a way that only Wolfenstein can achieve. The series' tongue-in-cheek attitude provides a respite from both the horrors of the Reich and the frustration of throwing yourself against its all-powerful war machine. It never falters, not once asking whether violent resistance is the wrong way to fight back against oppression-and the game is stronger for it. Above all else, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus takes a very hard stance on the righteousness of killing Nazis.
