In New Colossus, it’s different, because you’re having to play through levels that you’ve already been through, only without all the interesting dialogue and narrative events that make the game so compelling in the first place. It was cute in New Order where you could go and have a nap up in the tech room and play through a level of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Wolfenstein II is, like New Order, a powerful narrative experience, and pulling the player out of that narrative momentum to spend three and a half hours exploring all the levels that you’ve already been through is just… ugh. For one, it can rip any sense of pacing right out of the heart of the game. That said, there’s also a bunch of weird knock-on effects stemming from that decision that are bad and awkward.
That’s a pretty good reason to have a replay function. That’s fair enough – there’s 200 collectibles across Wolfenstein as a whole, and you’re probably not going to get all of them first time through. The basic idea is that you can replay through an area and pick up some of the stuff you missed – so you don’t have to go through the rest of the game missing it. The replay function is an example of one of those good ideas in theory that turns out to be awful in practice.
Anyway let’s talk about replaying missions.
I assume BJ had all of Max’s toys in his pocket and was just losing them along the way – it’s the only vaguely plausible explanation. It’s also an opportunity to collect Max’s toys, which are inexplicably scattered around all the different levels but only after you’ve already been to those areas. Ostensibly you’re supposed to be killing Nazi commanders who are hanging around in those areas. That is such a frightning thought.After the halfway point of Mesquite, Wolfenstein II has this thing where you can go back and replay through the areas that you’ve already explored. The backstory was thought out and the items you find in each place you visit just keeps making the world feel more like something that could be. The world of Wolfenstein 2 is so well fleshed out. Some, like the newspapers, have real meaning to them while other things like the Trading cards are just strange collectables. You don’t have to collect any of these items, but its fun getting these things and seeing what each of them are.
Of course, this all looks great on TV, but its even better to look at this menu in portable mode on the Switch so that you can get a closer look at each item. Its neat to just go into this section of the menu and look around. In the game’s menu, you’ll be able to take a look at everything you’ve collected. Its amazing how many different things you collect in this game! Though I really like the little trading cards you find and the various letters and newspapers too. Its basically a neat little behind the scenes of the game found within the game. My favorite thing to collect in Wolfenstein 2, so far, is the concept art. These items don’t seem to do anything but they do help make Wolfenstein 2’s world seem more real. Just basically keep looking around in this game because you’ll find interesting things to collect.įrom Nazi music to toys to concept art and beyond, there is a bunch of stuff to find in each level of Wolfenstein. Every shelf, every corner, every ammo depot, every dead commander. In Wolfenstein 2, you should look everywhere. Let’s take a look at the wonderful world of collectables in Wolfenstein 2 on the Nintendo Switch. These collectables don’t seem to do much, as far as I can tell, but they do tend to reveal even more about the world of Wolfenstein 2. Today I want to tell you about something different: Wolfenstein 2’s in-game collectables.
