About This Game
STORY
The year is 1946 and the Nazis are on the brink of winning World War II. In an effort to turn the tide in the allies’ favor, B.J. Blazkowicz must embark on an epic, two-part mission deep within Bavaria….
Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves - pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero's search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artifacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power.

I like it. :) Simply, easy, story is good, nice amount of collectibles. Even though this is a prequel I recommend playing New Order first.
A little prequel of the reboot series, directly tying into the beginnings of 'The New Order'. I did find the [spoiler] supernatural elements [/spoiler] a little offputting, but its a nice game nonetheless.
One of the greatest FPS TRILOGY ever made. Emphasizing the word TRILOGY.
Story is a prequel to Wolfenstein The New Order slightly weird since it released afterwards but it's alright storywise Decent Graphics Very much fun kicking very bad men ass! 9/10 beans
[RU] Данная игра является предысторией Wolfenstein: The New Order и в то же время более отполированной его версией в плане геймплея. Стоит сразу отметить, что условия получения перков стали адекватными. Если Wolfenstein: The New Order кому-то показалась сложной, то в этой части количество сложных стычек стремится к нулю. Однако из игры исчез тот весёлый абсурд, который был в Wolfenstein: The New Order, и сам сценарий стал более скудным на экшен и увлекательные события. Продолжительность игры стала примерно в два раза короче, а идеи авторов остались те же, но в другой, более блеклой...
MachineGames włożyło wiele pracy i serca w Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Mimo że nie dorównuje jakości podstawce, jest to bardzo kompetentny i świetnie zrealizowany samodzielny dodatek. Największą różnicą jest brak nacisku na historię - stare dzieje są nią dużo mniej zainteresowane. W takiej sytuacji cała uwaga skupia się na gameplayu. Lokacje są tu z reguły mniejsze, ale za to bardziej wertykalne, co dodaje kilka opcji skradaniu się. Udanym dodatkiem są też dzierżone w obu dłoniach rury, które, oprócz obijania mord nazistów, mogą też służyć do dobrze zrealizowanych wspinaczek. Skradanie się jest też tutaj preferowane ze względu na nowy, a w zasadzie stary, rodzaj Ubersoldata. Opancerzony i niebezpieczny, ale też przyczepiony kablem do szyny, więc o ograniczonym zasięgu. Szukanie wyłącznika jego źródła zasilania, by móc go zabić bez wystrzału jest satysfakcjonujące. Zombie-naziści są znakiem rozpoznawczym marki, więc ich powrót...
I like the game overall, good story, fun premise, but I have a few problems. Right off the bat this seems like Doom but with clunkier controls (especially the weapon swap wheel), which is my first issue. However, I later realized it was locked to 60 fps. This is unacceptable by my standards, especially for a shooter game, and considering that 120hz existed at the game's release. I will personally be refunding the game. It isn't a bad game though, and looks fun TL;DR: If you don't mind a clunky weapon swap wheel and a 60 fps lock, it's a great game, otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it
Great gameplay and story but just horribly optimized.
TNO and TNC were spectacular games. This one however is poorly designed - from the levels to the gameplay.
