Excerpt from Binge Gamer: When I started to review Wolfenstein, I was actually a little excited. Being a non-PC gamer, not having a SNES until after the system had pretty much finished off, and also not getting an Xbox until just about that console was done, I seemed to have avoided playing any Wolfenstein game until now.
We all know that Wolfenstein 3D is the forefather of first person shooters, above Quake, above Doom, etc. Well, I think unlike Doom and Quake's attempts to stay current with their last efforts, Wolfenstein really surprised me by being not only up to par with what current FPS games are offered, but is quite better than most.
The background to this title is Nazi's are bad, kill them. The story to the game pretty much follows you, a special agent, finding some Nazi dark force experimental stuff. It was weird, but I find the game reminded me of Indiana Jones, especially with the design of some levels, mixed with X-Files.
The great thing about being one of the most popular consoles of all-time is that there’s always more underappreciated bangers to spotlight.
Definitely a good game and loved the art style. My daughter watched me play it when she was 4 years old. I’ll have to replay it with her someday now that she’s older. It’s crazy it’s been around 11 years.
I was thinking of pulling out my PS3 super slim this winter to replay Rain, and try to tackle some of the backlog I acquired.
I love Enslaved such a sleeper hit, Asuras Wrath a very good game I still own, and I wish EA would put out a new Dante's Inferno another game I enjoyed. I never heard of the Rain game I might have to try it out might give Ebay a snoop or two.
enchanted arms and folklore most definitely.
theres also a game about a red haired guy and a girl who is a sword or something. good game
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
Sometimes, you want a relatable villain who makes you question your own morality. Other times, you want Frau Engel.
It got old tbh. Machine needed a break from the IP. Indie is a good reprieve.
Finally a good review of this game! Props to the reviewer for not being afraid to stand up and review this game for what it really is.
A great game. (single player mode at least)
