As I previously mentioned, I thoroughly enjoy the moment to moment gameplay and had just as much fun slaughtering the opposition here as I did throughout the eight hours I spent doing it in the main game. In terms of gameplay, nothing has changed whatsoever, which is quite alright with me. So, bringing him down was notably gratifying. We receive a taste of Nazi sympathizers throughout the main storyline, but never to the extent of Metze. Roderick Metze is especially interesting considering he’s an American masquerading as a bonafide Nazi.
I love the idea of a former brute football star taking on an overwhelming force. Though Gunslinger Joe and Ubercommander Roderick Metze are less compelling than our primary cast of characters, their stories are certainly unique. I adore the main storyline and the characters who support it, but it’s great to participate in another side of the fight. First and foremost, I’m a huge fan of small, contained tales within a larger narrative. There are many elements I appreciate about part one of The Freedom Chronicles. Upon receiving a pep talk from a fellow American prisoner, Joe’s onslaught upon the Nazi bastards ensues.
Due to Joe’s unwillingness to comply with Nazi instruction on the football field, he’s enslaved by the Reich. I’ll avoid spoilers and spare you the minute details, but the story revolves around Joe’s Hunt for a former American dentist turned Nazi Ubercommander who’s responsible for the death of his father, Joe Stallion. Thankfully, part one of The Freedom Chronicles DLC is upon us and it commences with the tale of ‘Gunslinger Joe’, a former rookie quarter back turned beast of vengeance. I remained engaged for a time but found myself yearning for a continued narrative in addition to the fierce gameplay. Naturally, I jumped right into the optional side missions granted by collecting Nazi commander enigma codes.
Following the conclusion of the main narrative, I immediately found myself starving for additional content. Between the fluid FPS action, stealth scenarios, memorable characters, and impactful storytelling, Machine Games delivered us one of the finest shooters of this generation. In fact, I nearly crowned it my personal 2017 game of the year.
