History YMMV / WolfensteinIITheNewColossus

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: A number of right-wing groups have taken issue with the game, and its advertising campaign, after a Bethesda tweet to promote the game included the line "Make America Nazi-Free Again". Machine Games has clarified that the game itself is not reflective of the contemporary political climate, seeing as it had been in development years before Nazis had become a talking point.

** The game also makes a point with [[spoiler: Sigrun]] that some individuals in the Nazi empire simply do not believe nor support their crusade, and yet they find themselves enlisted by them regardless due to circumstances that were out of their control.

* MoralEventHorizon: If Frau Engel hadn't crossed it already, telling her daughter to [[spoiler:execute Caroline with an axe]] certainly counts.

** If Rip Blazkowicz didn't cross it when he [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents knocks out his wife and chokes a young B.J. into unconsciousness]]]], he definitely does when he [[spoiler: [[KickTheDog tries to force B.J. to shoot his own dog, and shoots her himself if he refuses.]]]]

* BloodierAndGorier: The axe executions in this game are much more graphic and bloodier than the knife executions in ''The New Order'', since they involve hacking limbs off as opposed to just stabbing or shanking. Enemies also bleed a bit more and their blood can even splatter over the player's weapons!
* DarkerAndEdgier: As if VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder wasn't dark and edgy enough in its depiction of a CrapsackWorld run by Nazis, ''The New Colossus'' seems to be pulling no punches in showing what the Nazis have done to America, from nuking New York to ethnic cleansing in New Orleans.

* OlderThanTheyThink: For anyone with an inkling of familiarity with the series (or the first person shooter genre), killing Nazis is not a new development in the slightest. That, however, has not stopped reactionaries from interpreting the game as a political attack.

* FlameWar: Bethesda's marketing team began to release new ads for the game on Twitter with #NoMoreNazis attached to them. A number of people sympathetic to the Klan and Nazis began complaining about the premise of ''The New Colossus'' in replies to the ads, feeling that this game was dismissive of what they claimed were legitimate political views or even perpetration of some kind of "white genocide" by the devs. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Let's just say, thankfully, the majority of Twitter users were unsympathetic to their concerns.]]

* CompleteMonster: Frau Engel. A ruthless sadist who is completely devoted to the Reich and wants revenge on BJ for [[spoiler:killing Bubi]] the previous game. In the opening mission, she is shown to be very abusive towards her daughter Sigrun, chewing her out for being overweight and keeping sweets in her room, read her diary without her consent, and told her to [[spoiler:decapitate Caroline]].
