Rid Paris of its Nazi problem together with a friend in Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the first co-op game in the series’s history.

Interesting to this FPS game is the co-op game. This is the first co-op game of the Wolfenstein series. You can play solo as one of BJ Blazkowicz’s twin daughters or with a friend. In fact, even if you are alone, you can play a co-op campaign, where you are partnered with an AI companion.

Bethesda took a great decision with the Buddy Pass. Buddy Pass is a system that allows you to invite a friend that have not bought (yet) the Wolfenstein Youngblood and play alongside you, the person who purchased it, for free. You can invite as many friends you want, but only one at a time. As far as they play with the owner, they play for free!

This is a wonderful marketing strategy. Those playing for free on the Buddy Pass can choose to upgrade to the full game at any time to play on their own or with other players. I guess there will be plenty of conversions using this freeware strategy.

The game has a nonlinear structure that allows players to approach the missions as they see fit. In a co-op campaign, either with an AI partner or a friend (that has bought or not the video game), you have endless ways to kill Nazis. You have plenty of weapons and many rpg elements gives you ways for deeper weapons modifications and upgrades. The Deluxe Edition offer some incentives like Cyborg Skin Pack that is giving the players titanium alloy versions of their Power Suits, guns, combat knife, and hatchets.

Wolfenstein Youngblood is being developed by Machine Games, the ones responsible for the modern Wolfenstein games we’ve enjoyed thus far. This is certainly a plus (not that the Id Software was bad). The game is a continuation of the Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus video game.

Wolfenstein Youngblood is the latest release of the Wolfenstein series. It is a dystopian game that take place in an alternate history universe where Nazis are still at power in the occupied Paris of 1980s.

It is refreshing to see that the heroes of the games are in fact women. The players will assume the roles of the twins Jess and Soph Blazkowicz, also known as the Terror Twins, and embark on the mission of saving their missing father BJ. Their father was captured in the events of the previous game of the series: Wolfenstein 2.

Wolfenstein Youngblood is available on Xbox One, PlayStation® 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Wolfenstein Youngblood is an outstanding video game. Machine Games revived id Software’s classic Wolfenstein franchise and developed amazing first-person shooters like Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
