By the time "Wolfenstein: Youngblood" was released earlier this year, BJ Blazkowicz had been a video-game star in 13 games, from top-down maze escapes, to side-scrollers, a turn-based game, and first-person shooters. In this newest installation, Blazkowicz's twin daughters fight their way through Nazis to find their missing father.
"Youngblood" has just hit the shelves, but the last entry in the saga, 2017's "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus," won best action game at 2017's Game Awards.
Visually, "Wolfenstein: Youngblood" features near-cinematic visuals, clearly illustrating how computer graphics have evolved in three decades, from flat cartoon foes to fully realized computer-rendered characters with whom you can connect with emotionally.
