Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Reviews

A good prequel to the previous game. I was expecting more improvements, but this feels more like a DLC rather than a full new game. It's very short, with some minor technical improvements here and there, but core issues related to the engine unfortunately still remains, at least they fixed the loading screen freeze issue. I found the first few hours to be boring and repetitive, especially the stealth sections with the super soldiers. Half of the game takes which takes place in Castle Wolfenstein is richly detailed in terms of decoration and design that I liked. There aren't many cutscenes, and you do feel their absence. The Nazi zombie apocalypse was unexpected but offered a nice change of pace. If you liked the previous game this is more of the same with minor improvements.

It's honestly even better than The New Order. The atmosphere of the game reminds me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and I think it's very much safe to say the creators of the game took strong inspirations from that game as you get many moments in that game that are strongly reminiscent of RTCW, be it some of the game's levels or its characters... the story, too to some degree. And I absolutely love all of it. I love the game is just constant action after the prologue unlike TNO which was more story-focused. It's not a bad to have your games focused on a story at all, but I personally prefer my FPSes more action-oriented. Very good game, 8.5/10

Story is a prequel to Wolfenstein The New Order slightly weird since it released afterwards but it's alright storywise Decent Graphics Very much fun kicking very bad men ass! 9/10 beans

TNO and TNC were spectacular games. This one however is poorly designed - from the levels to the gameplay.

Great gameplay and story but just horribly optimized.

I completed this in around seven hours and thirty minutes on 'I AM DEATH INCARNATE!' (hard mode), I just left the game open for a lot in the days I played it! A decent chunk of that gameplay is playing the nightmares and hunting for collectables. Overall I liked the game and would recommend it to fans of the series that want more from the world, with the caveat that it's less fun than the other games. I'm glad I played it, but that's purely for how it added to the world of Wolfenstein and B.J's story rather than for the gameplay - It's generally fun but it's a massive step down from The New Order and The New Colossus (TNC), to the point that it's weird this came after them. The stealth sections are quite frustrating (the silenced pistol seems to choose at random if it can kill someone quickly or not) and there is a massive change in the enemies you face (zombies) in the last two chapters that makes stealth almost impossible, but only if you lose a diceroll and have an enemy you kill become a zombie, which they don't do consistently, and the super shotgun was terrible against the zombies. There are no environmental kills either that I found - I consider it a valid complaint that TNC lets you drown a Nazi in their own piss and this game doesn't. The final boss was pretty annoying, I had to search online how the fight worked since I played and died about 4 times with no way of knowing if I was hurting it or not - Though I will say the mechanics were enjoyable when I realised how it worked (the creature being blind), it doesn't do enough to actually make the fight fun. I liked the occult storyline and how it re-introduces magic back in to this continuity, I loved so many of the characters, everyone in the OSA, the Kreisau Circle and the other random rebels (Annette!) you meet were easy to love, and of course the Nazi bastards were very fun to hate. The letters and newspaper articles were great too, it's a great way to round out the world of these games. B.J's last speech in the final cutscene was just the best. Also the soundtrack was sick! I loved The Partisan, it's in my playlists now for life.

I like it. :) Simply, easy, story is good, nice amount of collectibles. Even though this is a prequel I recommend playing New Order first.
