To butcher the franchise: Press "E"
1 star for being uncensored, both violence and symbolism are as intended. 1 star for the ok graphics. But if you are a connoisseur of FPS, you are going to hate this game. This is an insult to the immersion and fluent action of milestones like RTCW, Half-Life, Doom, Crysis, Duke Nukem, etc. The level design is always a tube where eventually you get cut off from the previous section to fight waves and waves of bullet-sponge enemies until either your boredom or frustration take over. You cannot fast and dynamically dodge, weave, run, duck, jump, lean, and tactically subdue the enemy, because controls and gameplay seem to be optimized for console. Your avatar is incredibly SLOW, UNRESPONSIVE and CLUMSY. Leaning and sliding require key combinations that ruin these moves on a PC. When you get caught in an animation, you are dead. You are forced into sneak missions but there is no sneak system. Constantly you have to climb walls by ramming metal pipes into it, very annoying, and enemies do not hear it, but during alarms they have you on GPS. You can get perks, but the game does not explain how, and you have no control over it. There are invisible walls. The story and maps are uninteresting, NPCs are pale, forgettable and die soon anyways. Apparently you now have a lover but she gets killed the second time you see her, and one mission later you have to save a girl that looks exactly like her, smh. And there is "E"! Press it to hold her hand (no joke), and to pick up every single bullet an enemy drops every single time. In firefights you crawl over the floor hectically in the necessary angle to press "E", otherwise you have no ammo. You'll wear out this key and your sanity. Halfway through, Old Blood turns into Resident Evil Zombie Apocalypse, finalizing its betrayal of the franchise. To have no stuttering on modern hardware, you need to manually create a cache directory for the game. But even then idling always leads to a program freeze. Bye, Sergeant Blazkovicz!
