The Wolfenstein series isn't just "political" because it's about shooting Nazis. When MachineGames took over the series and released New Order, a new energy was injected into the soul of what Wolfenstein is. The stories in that game and its sequel are deeply entrenched in American history, not only in terms of Things That Happened, but also cultural moods and themes that colored the times and places that are being so heavily fictionalized. It isn't just "Nazis are bad," Wolfenstein points its lens on America itself every chance it gets.
