I also liked the architecture over the gameplay.
But the latter is still good enough to enjoy these games.
If you have any brutalist games to suggest, would be nice to hear of them. I have a weak spot for them.

Architecture twinsies ![]()
Control is the obvious one youâve probably already played, but thereâs also a French-made game called NaissancE set in a brutalist location. Itâs very much like Portal (especially Portal 2): a first person puzzle game with little plot and uses the evolving environment to carry the narrative
If you liked that one you really need to check out BLACKSHARD. I think it only took the best of the one you mentioned and enhanced the concept further. It just is fully a walking-sim with no puzzles at all.
Iâll take a peek! Or the Chicken will play it and Iâll watch, which ever happens sooner ![]()
I didnât care much for new architecture. It makes sense, it is based off real projects Nazis had (I think), but I just prefer old castle and village aesthetics. Also, I donât really like the new timeline. Nazis winning WW2 is a stretch and Iâve never considered their inventions as something that would make them win, but just delay inevitable defeat.
Yeah itâs Albert Speerâs brutalism, which was used in a few key places in the real Nazi Germany
I guess it makes sense that once theyâd conquered civilization (mwahaha) they injected steroids into their architectural designs to show their might.
But youâre right that most of the inventions seemed to be mechanical soldiers and beasts built by Deathshead, which wouldnât make a huge difference against tanks and bombers. I assumed it was more that the Nazis were able to achieve the V projects of real life, such as advances in rocketry and atomic weaponry
The best part of the newer wolfenstein games are the music, âWeltraumsurfenâ and âHaus in Neu-Berlinâ are absolute bangers.
The DLC remains a rumor for now but signs seem more and more to point to its existence.
In the game, the Nazis locate a Jewish secret society with advanced technology, and Deathshead reverse engineers them to become war machines
Oh yes Set Roth and the Daâat Yichud! So Deathshead wasnât that brilliant after all!
Which, come to think of it, mirrors the Naziâs own distaste for âJewish scienceâ, despite the likes of Einstein contributing to the atomic weapon project they wanted to master
I heard that the Nazis werenât really interested in pursuing atomic weapons because they deemed it to be âJewish scienceâ
There are a lot more reasons why the Nazis never got the nuke, the âJewish physicsâ thing is actually very low on the list especially since Werner Heisenberg himself was considered a âJewish physicistâ and he was the head of their nuclear research department. Jewish persecution had a big impact on their program though which shouldnât be discounted nor substituted with a fringe theory that saw little actual backing by the Nazis.
Germany never got close to the nuke. Reports of dubious integrity by Italian fascists say they may have devised a âdirty bombâ (a device that spreads radioactive material everywhere but with no detonation) but nothing close to the fission bomb America developed. Japan was closer to the damn thing than Germany ever was according to what little we could get our hands on during Allied occupation after the war.
Interesting. Thanks for correcting me.
No problem. The Nazi nuclear program is, like most Nazi projects, a very hysterical farce in a lot of ways. From Hitler allegedly not funding the program because he barely understood the science (take this with a grain of salt, this was by admission of Albert Speer) to Heisenberg having made several horrible miscalculations bad enough that he pretended he had been sabotaging the nuclear program to save face.
Finally we have created the Torment Nexus from Donât Create the Torment Nexus
It´ll stay available for purchase as part of the bundle, but it´s still a cunt move (and one I fully expected Sega/RGG to make).
I swear to god if the Splinter Cell remake gets canned (which after all this time Iâm thoroughly expecting) Iâm gonna be pissed.
