Game of the Month - October 2017

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is the clear winner for me. I loved the first game, and this is pretty much everything I wanted from a sequel to that. It amazes me how the game can pull off the hairpin shifts in tone from grim horror to downright wackiness while managing to feel cohesive and heartfelt. Tonal inconsistency is something that will throw me pretty quickly from a game or movie, so it’s particularly impressive that it works so well here.
