The only good nazi is a dead nazi. What games are the best for taking them out?

India Jones and the Great Circle was a good start, and I’m considering Sniper Elite VR for the highly detailed nazi carnage. Wondering what other nazi-killing favorites are out there.

    I don’t know if anything really tops Wolfenstein TNO. Right from the get-go you’re running through a trench dual-wielding machine guns and just shredding Nazis like you’re mowing grass. Plus you can personally stomp Hitler’s face in! 10/10 experience.

      The New Colossus was released during Trump’s first term and it was really cathartic to play during the shit storm. The game even pissed off the “alt-right.” The New Order and The Old Blood are much better at “endless destruction of Nazis” though.

      Might be time to reinstall and play through them again.

    arma3 has some really good hyper realistic dynamic campaigns with high replay value, for endless nazi killing fun.

    I came here exclusively to reiterate.

    The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

    I enjoyed return to castle Wolfenstein when it came out and competitively played Enemy Territory for years and even made a mod for it. I have no idea how it would hold up today, however

    You know Call of Duty started out as killing nazis on the Quake engine. I don’t remember really liking them but it’s there

    In Command and Conquer: Red Alert and it’s sequel all the nazis have already been erased from history by Albert Einstein’s time machine…

    But the USSR in the games conquered Europe and is cartoonishly evil so they’re fun to fight.

    Gonna stray a bit from the other games mentioned here for the sake of adding something unique.

    It’s not your traditional nazis per say, but the half life series fits quite nicely with this urge. The combine are genocidal, totalitarian, they use shit loads of propaganda, etc. They don’t have the looks of it, but they’re clearly the nazi type.

      Something about slow mo shooting hitlers one testicle with xray vision with a sniper rifle just makes the day seem brighter.

      Did some tinkering to get this working on my Linux pc last year. Only played a few hours, but seemed like a fun game (and who doesn’t love fucking up some Nazis?)

          There was some kind of high resolution patch, I think? Try googling “the sabateur resolution patch”. I remember there being some jank at first, but once I got it tweaked it worked just fine.

          Honestly, I don’t remember specifically, sorry. Have you tried GE Proton?
