It's much easier and faster - as well as visually gratifying - to chop down Nazis by lopping off limbs before severing off the head. Some new weapons, such as the diesel-powered grenade launcher, are a treat to use and the star of the show has to be the humble hatchet. There’s a welcome attention to detail with bigger, ironclad foes losing parts of their armour as you rain down a hailstorm of bullets on them.
