Pros
Pro Combine halves of characters for new abilities
The top and bottom half of each toy can be swapped with one another in order to trade/gain abilities making for a wide arrangement of possibilities when ones collection of toys is large.
Pro Ties together real and digital world with toys
It is interesting how the game uses toys to tie into the game as it allows for kids to not only play with toys but also see a digital representation of the toy in game where they can go on adventures with them.
Pro Runs at 1080p and 60fps
Runs at a solid 60fps at 1080p making for a smooth gaming experience.
Pro Well written and acted characters
While the overarching storyline isn't anything noteworthy, the characters in it stand out due to great voice acting and surprisingly well-written lines. You'll actually enjoy listening to the characters talk, cracking jokes, and contemplating moral dilemmas, causing you to want to learn more about them. This is especially the case with the main character. You'll empathize with his situation and motivations, making you feel a deeper connection than with most modern FPS protagonists.
Pro Solid gameplay
Even though the gameplay doesn't innovate, it's really solid. The controls are sharp, the guns feel great, and the stealth sections give it a refreshing amount of variation. All of this will keep you wanting to play a little more, providing your hours of entertainment.
Pro Rewarding exploration
In most modern shooters you just rush through very linear set pieces, shooting waves upon waves of enemies. Wolfenstein: The New Order rewards you for taking the time to explore. You can find many collectibles, secrets, and even hidden paths, giving you easier/safer methods of clearing a level.
Cons
Con Pretty much designed from the ground up to get kids to beg for more toys
The new swappable figures are priced at $15, which can get pricey really quick. What's worse is the game even previews other characters one does not have in order to show kids what they don't have yet, just to get them interested in one toy after another.
Con Dual wield feels out of place
Using two guns at the same time, while a cool concept does not feel fully fleshed out in this title. It is often cumbersome and does not wield great results in firefights, which asks the question of why it was included.
Con Dynamic resolution might feel distracting
When there's a lot of on-screen action the resolution will get scaled down to keep the gameplay running at 60 frames per second. This doesn't happen too often, but it might feel a little distracting since it feels like your vision is going blurry.
