Probably the best Wolfenstein ever made
Now, by the end of 2024 it's gotten an awesome game
...Driv3r was so much better, despite it's flaws, and yeah... being unfinished kinda... So Driv3r would definately be a nice add, dunno why they haven't added it yet...
So here's the thing: I didn't like the game at all on its release back in 2020, but now in 2023, since we got the 2.0+ patch(es), and I've also gotten the DLC, I must say, it's a pretty decent game! Just as it should've been on release!
Besides it's still buggy, also the fighting system is literally unplayable for newcomers! Probably that's also why I didn't complete W 1-2...
Now this game highly disappoints... :/
Definately a unique game not only for its time, still holds up today when it comes to uniqueness, maybe graphics too (when it comes to environment at least, characters are lo-poly "meh" :)), but when it comes to clunkyness, jeez, get prepared for something! Don't get me wrong, this is still a great unique horror/fps with nice rpg features, but as someone who is (re)playing this after the entire Bioshock series (same creators), this definately feels clunky, not only when it comes to movement, but even more when it comes to gun play, or hitting an enemy with a wrench... At least it took me time to back off when pressing "fire" and get back onto the enemy when releasing the "fire" button, then you might won't get killed :) However while the first game was more complext and the atmosphere was a lot more various, and you got (in my definition) more complex mini games, while e.g. hacking, the second one concentrates more on the horror on a dark ship, where no one is alive anymore, or if so, they're converted in some zombie things... Also while the first one was concentrating a lot more on Shodan, this one is concentrating much more on repairing things or getting them back online... Even Xerxes, the central AI of the ship is being mentioned a lot more than Shodan... However if this game wouldn't feel so clunky it'd be 4 stars if not 5, but this level of clunkyness at this difficulty definately destroys the experience for me... All I'm doing is: "uhm, okay, then load again (about 5x times) and I might try another way" and even if there's another, you get another problems to face yourself with... I still think it's worth a grab as it's on sale though, since you get a quite unique experience; definately that spice for hardcore gamers!
Always loved the MK franchise, especially in its golden age (1992-1995 --> 1, 2, 3), the very first game is my absolute favorite, also the one I think the 1995 movie is based on. Second part from 1993 is... well yeah... just like the movie... not bad, but not that big boom the first one was. The second was also the one to introduce Shao Kahn, more new characters, more movements and somewhat better graphics, so it was quite decent for its time... The third one had very minor changes in my opinion; except some new characters again, a combo-system and a button to run (against your enemy), which isn't that much to be fond of as an innovation I think. I liked the 4th episode though! Which is also the one I am really missing on GOG to be found! :) The 4th episode was the first to introduce 3D accelerated graphics in a fighting game, 3D models and maps (even if running in software rendered mode). Which was still not enough to compete against the newer Virtua Fighter series (Virtua Fighter 1 and 2 in particular, which were present to date). However compared to 1-2-3 (and Trilogy, which was kind of a MK special edition ;)), the 4th part seemed to be very innovative, starting off with a full motion video, its 3D graphics, changing your position on each map (shifting one-another step backward/forward), picking up stuff from the environment to toss at your enemy and this was also the first episode to introduce weaponal combat (you could also pick up your enemy's weapon). By the way, MK4 (1997) was also the last episode to be released for PC for quite a while (till 2011 I believe as Mortal Kombat (2011) came out...) So please GOG, if possible, add also that one to your store, would be proud to see it available at a decent price! Thanks! :)
