One of the big differences between the film and the graphic novel is an increase in action, and though previews made Atomic Blonde look like another John Wick film, the reality is much more interesting.

At roughly 10-to-12 hours (more if you hunt for collectibles and do optional assassinations), Wolfenstein II is well-paced. There are several intense set pieces, though nothing that we’d consider to be a boss fight in the traditional sense, and tough encounters alongside exploration and lighter fare — such as a mission to find your friend’s mechanical arm — that serve as palette cleansers.

He’s mostly known for his defensive play, but while he’s contributing a bit to the attack, he’s worth a look.

Simply put, Origins is a gorgeous game. It pushes the limits of this generation’s graphical fidelity despite the considerably vast landscape of Ancient Egypt. Lighting, water, character models, and more are all exquisite, and the draw distances are strikingly impressive, especially when flying around using Bayek’s eagle. Similarly, the animation has improved to smoother levels.
