GameWatcher:
It’s a sad state of affairs when a standalone expansion pack is the only exciting release for me in an entire year for a gaming genre I previously called my favourite. Truly the First-Person Shooter (or “FPS” as the cool kids call it) has fallen on rough times. If Star Wars: Battlefront isn’t the greatest thing ever I’m packing my bags and moving fully to the RPG. Into the desolate wasteland that was last year’s FPS crop Wolfenstein: The New Order stood out like a burning flame, reigniting my passion for the FPS. Giving homage to the old whilst feeling new, combining B-movie silliest with some properly mature storytelling. Now a year later MachineGames and Bethesda are releasing a standalone expansion, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Let’s get psyched.
The genre-defining battle royale experience headlines this month's PS Now update, along with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Formula 1 2019.
KeenGamer: ''Wolfenstein is a series that has transcended several generations due to a subject matter that seems more relevant now than at any time in the recent past. However, If you remove the subject matter, you're left with a franchise struggling with bland level design & continually degrading writing. Wolfenstein has survived almost 38 years of change within the industry, but perhaps it's time to for the series to end. Let's look at how it started, how it's changed & why I'm concerned for its future."
