Players praise the game as a fun, old-school FPS with satisfying Nazi-killing action. [1][2][3] Some reviewers find it a worthy prequel to The New Order, though shorter and less deep. [4][5][6] A few players criticize repetitive stealth, poor pacing, and mediocre combat. [7][8][9]

After enjoying The New Order, The Old Blood feels less like a meaningful prequel and more like leftover content stretched into a standalone release. The big issue is how boring and repetitive the stealth becomes. The part I hated the most is the mechanic where you have to sneak up behind super soldiers and hold a button for several seconds to disable them. Once or twice? Sure. But when the game makes you do this …

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is pure, old-school FPS fun. The shooting feels really good, the world is dark and detailed and the mix of stealth and action makes every fight exciting. A great example of classic action done right! 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it 🔲 Easy ☑️ Normal ☑️ Hard 🔲 A challenge to be reckoned 🔲 In the heat of confrontation, (Only PVP games) 🗺️ Graphics 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad 🔲 Meh 🔲 …

A short-lived action FPS shooter set in an alt-history timeline where killing Nazis is made more satisfying than ever before. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a thrilling prequel shooter (and also a DLC) to the New Order but with hints of the paranormal and medieval themes. Expect a 10-15 hour campaign where you can go absolute guns-blazing in infiltrating Castle Wolfenstein (although stealth is an option too) with …

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a wonderful addition to the first part, Wolfenstein: The New Order. This game tells the story of the events that preceded the first part and complements it with more detailed details and a unique atmosphere. One of the main advantages of the game is its gameplay and rich storyline. The game stands out for its unique atmosphere, which is emphasized by bright, colorful graphics. The …

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood sits at 86% positive across 283 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood received "generally favorable reviews" on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Destructoid's Chris Carter praised the game for its brevity, saying that both episodes "don't waste as much time as some missions in [The New Order]. Both Castle Wolfenstein and Wulfburg are expansive enough to justify an entire game." He also said that "the development team does a good job of managing the pacing between stealth and action". Carter said that Helga Von Schabbs is a character that kept him "engaged" throughout the game, that he "slightly [preferred]" The Old Blood over The New Order, and that choosing to play the game is a "no-brainer".…

Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games.

While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don't mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.…
