Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - PC Game Review
I recently got Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. I've played Wolfenstein 3D quite a while back when it was released, and I was a huge fan of other ID games, such as Doom and Quake, which I played for endless hours. This one is made by MachineGames, instead of ID.
Lately I haven't played many ID games because they usually were buggy on my hardware, such as Rage or the latest Doom. When this Wolfenstein was on sale on Steam with excellent reviews, I though I should try it.
I'm glad I did - it is very good. I particularly like how they allow you to choose (not always, but a lot of the time) to take a stealthy approach or go guns blazing. The guns are pretty good, there are plenty of them and in an old school way, you can carry almost as many as you want (except for the big machine gun).
In that sense, it is quite different and smarter than the old ID games, and there is a lot of alternative options - such as little tunnels - to use. There are also some secret areas.
I also like the use of unlockable perks, although I'd probably like them more if they were easier :-).
Great graphics, great sound and fun music, too.
Overall, I am really enjoying the game, and it is well worth checking out.
Update: Finished the game. I can't say I liked the zombies part (spoiler!) as much as the other, but it was OK. Took me 7 hours.
The final boss was a bit disappointing, if you knew what to do it was mostly annoying and time consuming.
