One of the stupidest things about last month's bang average Wolfenstein: Youngblood was that you couldn't even pause the game when you were playing by yourself in an offline state. The game would continue to run in the background while you browsed its menus, but it looks like MachineGames is listening to criticism and adding a pause function in a future patch.
As part of the 1.0.4 update, you'll be able to pause the game during offline play. It comes as part of a longer list of tweaks, fixes, and changes, but this bullet point is quite clearly the headliner of the patch. That's not all, though, as MachineGames has shared details of the update that'll arrive after 1.0.4, and it's this one that seems to address some of the biggest issues players have been facing, ourselves included.
It'll bring with it additional checkpoints, difficulty adjustments, and tweaks to enemy health pools to combat those described as bullet sponges. These are welcome changes that'll surely make for a better overall experience, but we can't help feel like this is all too little too late. The world has very quickly moved on from Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
Anyway, what do you think? Will you be checking out Wolfenstein: Youngblood now that it seems like some of its biggest issues are being fixed? Slaughter some nazis in the comments below.

What an age we live in when patches are needed to pause a game, amazing.
I pre-ordered Youngblood because I knew I wanted to play it. I haven't even opened it yet, I have other games I'm still playing. As long as they work on making it better, whats the big issue? Its only been out what 2 weeks?
Looks at calendar...2019. Scratches head in confusion.
I'll buy it when it's on sale for $10 or so bucks.
So absolutely stupid that a patch needed to be added for this. But this is what happens because any time somebody calls pubs or devs out for idiocy these days somebody has to come around and scream how that person, who most likely paid full price for the game, is 'toxic' or 'entitled.' The stupidity that runs rampant in this industry these days is really getting tiring.
I've got the perfect patch for everybody... Eliminate the co-op gameplay, or even better... Create a different character than the daughters for the entire game!
@JohnKarnes Its a option to save the game are you kidding me? Is pausing a feature now.... 😐
I remember pausing games back in the 80's! Will this obsession with all things retro never end? If I wanted to pause I would be playing on a Famicom smh.
@BridgeToClarity I never really read metacritic its 90% rage from people. Giving something like HZD a 0.
What the hell, this should always be in a game. Was the game made by monkeys!
@JohnKarnes Its a option to save the game are you kidding me? Is pausing a feature now.... 😐
@Flaming_Kaiser Pausing and Saving a game are not the same.
You mean that the button that is on the controller now is directly linked to this? Now that's an incredible feature. The rest of the gaming industry should look at this as an example. if you know what I mean..
@BridgeToClarity I have no idea why some companies have such problems with making a likeable female lead. But i stand by my point that Metacritic is really bad with user reviews mostly fanboys, haters, reviewbombers, making the tired old SJW are bad remarks because there is a female lead. Yeah i dont go there to be informed. 😆
@JohnKarnes Oops but you know what i meant is pausing a feature now. 😆
This is almost as daft as Activision neglecting to include subtitles in Spyro imo.
I kind of get the lack of a pause feature in a survival horror game, but this? Seems odd.
@JohnKarnes I don't get it. Why would you buy it on release when it's at it's most expensive? If you want it but are not ready to play it why don't you wait until you are ready when you can probably buy it for a quarter of the price or whatever?
I'll be getting this after I finished the first game, the expansion, and the second game. So maybe in 2022 or later
@tomassi I paid $23.99 it felt like it was already on sale. Prices drop around the 90 day point I will play it long before then. I do wait on a lot of games. I buy some day one others when they are on super sale Black Friday $19.99 or less.
