Dear Diary: after several days of hitting new games and demos primarily for the purpose of posting content to the site, it's nice to simply settle back into my backlog. I've knocked out the single-player campaign on Destiny (finally), and I believe that I am close in Gears of War 4. I've had Wolfenstein in my inventory since the game released, and have yet to touch it.
Playing through this tonight, I realize that I am still programmed much by my experiences in Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001, Activision). In that game, jumpscares abounded, as the focus was mainly on teh Third Reich's crazy experiments and efforts to create the ubermensch via sourcing the occult. So I stepped slowly and lightly through the New Order tonight, although I could feel that the games design language was really to incentivize you to run and gun (why else would you let someone dual-wield assault rifles?!)
