Gamers Temple:
The single player campaign takes place in the fictional city of Isenstadt (and it's not quite clear as to where this city is supposed to be located) which serves as a hub for the game's mission levels. The town is home to a couple of resistance groups - one purely anti-Nazi and the other one of those secret societies that exists to protect an ancient secret. The people in these groups are your primary source for mission briefings and dialogs designed to fill out the game's storyline - a story that's the standard "Nazis unleashing powers that they don't understand" kind of thing. The town is also a source for endless encounters with large Nazi patrols, so there's fighting to be had outside of the missions. From the town you venture out to mission areas like a secret underground base and a Nazi fortress. The level designs are the highlight of the game, with even mundane-sounding levels like The Farm and The Hospital imaginatively constructed and fun to explore. The events in the levels are all heavily-scripted, but there's enough room to maneuver that you have some limited freedom in how you approach your objectives. There are also hidden areas to be found, and it pays to search for them. In addition to collectible intelligence items you'll also find bags of gold that can be spent to upgrade your weapons - upgrades that include larger magazines, silencers, improved rifling, and more. Wolfenstein stays true to its old school shooter roots in that many levels lead up to a boss fight - and in many ways these boss fights are the highlight of the single player campaign.
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.
BLG writes, "There can be only one best Wolfenstein game. Since the franchise’s debut in 1981, the Wolfenstein series has graced our gaming platforms for over forty years. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
Speaking on Wassup Conversations, Matthies told the host that once MachineGames was founded, it didn't have enough money to hire a full development team and pitched around ideas for a while. Eventually, Id Software offered the team a chance to work with their IP, but first, they needed to prove themselves.
