  • Wield a combination of classic WW2 and fictional, sci-fi-inspired weapons.
  • Fight against Nazis, the undead, and experimental mutant soldiers

Old school FPS

Actually quite enjoyable shooter from the past. Few bugs here and there occur but nothing unpassable, like npcs getting zero recoil and 100% accuracy but a save reload should do the trick. The story isn't anything mind blowing but it has it's charm, I doubt it should be taken so seriously. 6+ hours with the middle difficulty with some secrets unexplored.

One of the best Wolfenstein games

I've played this game in early 2000-s, and played it couple of moths ago - it still can amaze you ;) But what I do not like in this game - that the story is divided into several parts, a potpourri of U.S. special forces missions, but not a full-scale return to Castle Wolfenstein, though.

It's Okay.

I just played it for the first time in 2023 and I wouldn't say it is any better than the recent reboot games. It was fun but not particularly interesting. Felt like a sequel to Goldeneye- very similar gameplay.

You're an idiot

Nightknight_MKII you're an idiot. Learn to play, and also complaining about the graphics of a 20 years old game, how much are you retarded?
