The value story

The value story

Across all 46 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ ($29.99, scores 43) outscores it, and so does Call of Duty®: Vanguard ($59.99, scores 16). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Wolfenstein: Youngblood

The press liked it more than its buyers did, 69 against 43 percent.

Players rate it 43 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 32 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 18 percent of the 2,854 reviews written there were positive, against 43 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

9.2 hours to finish it, 33 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.5 times the campaign.

What players say

Short version? Don't buy. Long version? The game takes the baseline premise of the Wolfenstein franchise and essentially forces co-op down its throat. Even in offline mode with co-op disabled the game forces you to have a teamate who's AI is pretty damn dumb and it only gets worse from there. The enemy AI is cheap in that sometimes they'll spawn in out of nowhere and ambush you. Rnemies that act like bullet sponges...

Moving through the backlog of numerous games, I decided to try this one out since I do enjoy Wolfenstein, going back to junior high school in the early 90's. What a disaster this opening mission is in this game. I "killed" the boss rather quickly, but because I was "too good" at killing him, the game AI breaks, doesn't trigger the next phase of the fight, and becomes unwinnable. This is piss-poor game design. Not to...

Ignore the naysayers as usual. FPS featuring a pair of deadly sisters, daughters of the infamous "Terror-Billy" literally brought up as special operators, lots of cute girl talk and inside jokes to set the mood and then it's over 35 missions of shooting the bad guys like its an 80s action movie! Yes, the people saying "There are only 3 MAIN missions" are a lie, there's so much more to do in the semi open world...
