I knew there was something different about playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood when my co-op partner gave me a “pep talk.” That gave me some extra armor and I returned the favor, getting a thumbs up from my partner.

In this version of the Nazi-shooting series, you play Sophia and Jessica, the twin daughters of BJ Blazkowicz, the hero of many previous Wolfenstein games. The story takes place 19 years after The New Colossus. BJ is missing, and he was last tracked to Paris, where he disappeared from the grid. The daughters take it upon themselves to defy their mother Anya and the authorities and hunt BJ down.
