TL;DR at the bottom.

I'm going to not even mention the blatant SJW pandering in the game because you probably already know about it, considering Bethesda and Machine Games used the "Nazi" hystaria to market this game.

The biggest problem I have with Wolfenstien II is that it is nothing new from the previous title. The gameplay is the same, the enemies are the same, and more that half of the games 6 hours worth of gameplay is cutscenes, and scripted events. I found myself waiting, and waiting, and waiting for gameplay to happen. The other problem with this is that it felt like I wasn't fighting nazis to get the next level, it felt like I was fighting to get to the next cutscene on a very linear path. It feels more like Call of Duty, than Wolfenstein. This is coming off the heels of DOOM which was an amazing return to form for it's series, which Wolfenstein is not taking any ques from even though they are published by the same company.

Worse yet is the previously mentioned scripeted events. Nothing feels intense because as soon as a surprising event happens, it ends quickly via QTE or a cutscene happening. Once again making it more like Call of Duty, and less like Wolfenstein. This leads to the worst part of the game, there are NO boss fights. I pose this question to you, when have you EVER seen a Wolfenstein game that DIDN'T have a boss fight in it? All the "boss fights" in this game, are scripeted events that you complete by doing a singe action, a single press of a button. The only real pluses I can give this game, is that it looks nice, and the charcters in the story are at least likable.

I wont dwell too much on the story, as to avoid spoilers. I will say that most of the games story feels like they just ripped an antifa fan fic off of tumblr. They dwell on shots of the bad guys, contantly spoon feeding you "remeber guys, Nazis are bad in case you forgot." A few examples of this are, a long drawn out shot about fat shamming, many long drawn out shots of wife beating, animal abuse, and child abuse, and lots of long drawn out dialouge about rascism in America. All of these things feel very shoe horned in, and when ever they happened I could not help but roll my eyes as to how obvious the pandering was. In short it is not Wolfenstein, it is Call of Wolfenstein: Tumblr Warfare.

TL;DR scores:

Positives:

+Great graphics
+Most of the caracters are decent
+Lots of gore, and big guns.

Negatives:

-Horrible writting
-3 hours of gameplay, 3.5 hours of cutscenes
-No boss fights
-Nothing new from the previous game
-Too many scripted events
-Too linear for a Wolfenstein game
-It is no longer Wolfenstein, it is Call of Duty

Short review:
If you want a game where you kill Nazis, and has a story that isn't someones tumblr fan fic, go buy Call of Duty: WWII. It's basically the same game anyways.
