Like Bioshock Infinite, Dishonored, and many others before it, Wolfenstein is a first person action game that also tries to tell a story. Enjoyment of the story itself is, as always, going to vary from person to person depending on individual taste.

However, as much as I enjoyed Wolfenstein's story I also really appreciated how they told it. There's a lot of excellent writing that's gone into this game and some of the cutscenes are hugely affecting. I especially appreciate that this game really nailed audiologs and text in a way that remains consistent to the internal logic of the world..

Specifically, the notes come in a variety of forms and each type of note is appropriate to the location that you find it in. Audio recordings are presented in game as Anya reading her grandmother's diary entries to Blaskowitz over his radio headset. This makes much more sense than Bioshock Infinite's voxophone diaries existing as both collectibles and as a narrative device. And when written word or audio recordings have no contextual place in a particular environment in Wolfenstein (you don't have a headset while in the prison camp), then context is delivered through well written ambient diologue between npcs.

Nothing is revolutionary about any of what Wolfenstein is doing on these fronts, but it is notable that everything has been done exceptionally well... I know that this stuff requires extra effort in development (I'm sure that designing an object like a voxophone and then scattering it around a world is an easier proposition) but I think it is worth it and I'd like to see this kind of craft being applied more often in games where story is supposed to be important.
