Wolfenstein: Youngblood review

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is the series' first modern co-op game, made by MachineGames with Arkane Studios. It is set 19 years after Wolfenstein II: B.J. has gone missing in Nazi-occupied Paris, and his twin daughters Jess and Soph go after him. You can team up with a friend online or play solo, level up to earn abilities, weapons, gadgets and cosmetics, and plan missions from a base in the Paris catacombs, which the Steam page calls the most open-ended Wolfenstein to date. The price is $19.99, with a $9.99 Deluxe Edition upgrade. It ranks near the bottom because reception is weak: only 43% of 6,090 English Steam reviews are positive, Steam shows a Metacritic score of 69, and the page lists in-app purchases. It also needs 8 GB of RAM and 40 GB of storage. Buy it for co-op, not as the next chapter of the main story.
