Wolfenstein: Youngblood - Deluxe Edition

Youngblood is aggressively okay, but doesn't come close to recapturing the joy of its predecessor.

The Blazkowicz sisters steal the show in a bite-sized cooperative spin-off FPS that packs a hell of a punch, further invigorating the franchise.

Two players, two developers, but half the story: this spin-off isn't firing on all cylinders, but the combat is still hugely satisfying.

Youngblood's gorgeous, terrible world is worth exploring, despite a slight narrative and oppressively boring progression systems.

Youngblood is a meat-and-potatoes first-person shooter where all the systems work well, the enemies provide a brutal challenge, and a friend can come along with you through the whole thing. It seems like it was designed as a relatively inexpensive crowd-pleaser of an FPS, and I will admit that I was very entertained.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a spin-off with big ambitions let down by lacklustre execution.

This side chapter provides a steady dollop of Nazi-massacring fun, especially if you have a pal along for the ride

The Nazi-splattering franchise returns, with thoughtful level design compensating for a lack of true play flexibility

Wolfenstein: Youngblood provides a decent co-op experience for friends to indulge in. It’s like going to a place where you know the service is fine and you wouldn’t look for anything unusual.

Even if you don’t care about disjointed storytelling, repetitive levels or cringe-worthy jokes, I can’t recommend Youngblood.
