Session fun rating: 9/10
I completed chapter 2 and played through chapter 3. It started with a Freddie, Emile and Walt being ambushed by the German Baron, this time, wielding a flame throwing armored vehicle. There were a few puzzles right before that with flamethrowers. Most of it required me to throw dynamite at the right angle through the fires to blow up walls and machines. The same mechanics applied when I fought the vehicle. We managed to destroy it, but it appeared that Freddie, Walt and Anna's father had died in the explosion.
The next chapter featured Karl quite a bit, the German father, now held in a POW camp. Most of his levels were stealth focused. I even hid behind some sheep and some scarecrows to avoid giant flares and soldiers with flashlights in the dead of night.
Soon enough, it was revealed that Freddie, Walt and Anna's father had survived! I guided them out of the wreckage by repairing the German flame throwing tank through a series of small puzzles. We escaped the facility, but soon found ourselves stranded with toxic gas all around us... Freddie found a gas mask for himself. Walt also had one that made the dog look absolutely adorable!
After his triumphant return, Freddie was assigned as the driver of the Allies' new tank units. I shot down enemy war planes and carved a path for friendly troops in a fun vehicle segment. At the end of it, he had a fist fight with the enemy Baron that had caused us so much fucking trouble and captured him! The Baron was demoted and will never be seen again I'm sure...
Karl wanted to get home to his family after having received news that his son was sick. He walked and walked and walked until he was very close to his home town. There was another great level here where Karl had to sneak through the countryside and disguise himself as an officer and as a soldier. Finally, Anna came to his rescue in her taxi cab!
There was another car driving sequence, this one more challenging than the others. There was even some light combat here as I destroyed a large tank and smaller cars by throwing dynamite their way. Once again, the incredible music matched the explosions and animation. The darker tone of the music was fitting too.
Finally, as Karl and Anna reached their destination, they were caught... Anna was sent back to nursing and Karl forced back into the army. I solved some puzzles around the camp but was interrupted by an attack from the Allies. I am just starting chapter 4 and can't wait to see how this game wraps up.
