Unbelievable. I just found the review here by “Phil” from 27th May, 2015, where he complained about elements in this game he didn't like, and then proceeded to list all the things that made the very first Wolfenstein 3D what it was.

Maybe too many people are expecting “now” games when they see a return to the old formula. In a market crammed full of “new”, it's actually kinda cool to see a game that has the spirit of the old with a splash of fresh paint. There's too few genuinely old school games about.

Repetitive- Too few save points- Ammo just lying about- YES! Because that's what Wolfenstein 3D was in 1992. Grab a gun, shoot some Nazis. The game in a nutshell.

A great albeit short title that has only 8 chapters and no online mode but Wolfenstein: The Old Blood stays to it's roots of old-school FPS gore, non-recovering health and plenty of explosions and enemies. Fans of the series and Wolfenstein: The New Order should definitely pick this up. The challenge mode for the 8 chapters are also quite challenging but ultimately this is a very short game and for that reason, it only deserves 4 stars at most.

Like The New Order its a decent, solid shooter with good combat mechanics. Unlike the New Order I didn't find it fun to play.

I didn't get very far into it but the early game at least is very repetitive. You enter an area, sneak around and try to kill the commanders before they sound the alarm and call in reinforcements, then finish off the remaining soldiers, proceed to the next area and repeat the process. You're forced into stealth to take out the commanders, usually two in each area, because if they see you they call in reinforcements continually until you kill them. I got really, really tired of this to the point that I groaned whenever I entered a new area and saw the ‘radio signal detected’ message on the HUD.

This wouldn't be that bad but for lack of a manual save. I would spend ten minutes or more sneaking through an area, taking out enemies only to be spotted and I would have to quit and load the last checkpoint and do it all over again, or else try and fight through wave after wave of enemies until I could kill the commanders. Neither option is my idea of fun.

Another, albeit minor thing that annoyed me was the over abundance of ammo and other pickups and the way they were just scattered around the levels for you find.

I tried to stick with it to the point in the game with the zombies, hoping that I'd seen the last of the ‘radio signal detected’ message, but I got stuck at one point trying to fight my way across a bridge past waves of respawning enemies and I realised I wasn't enjoying the game and gave up.
