This is a perfect example of what I would have liked to experienced more of, but this kind of material is a few and far between. There was a pretty awesome scene in the middle of the game where you are riding a cable car down from the mountains where Castle Wolfenstein is located, and it falls to the icy waters below with B.J. Sure, it’s a good game as far as first person shooters go, but I felt there could’ve been more cinematic set pieces. That’s all well and good, I just didn’t find Wolfenstein: The Old Blood to really bring anything new to the genre. The violence in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is what you’d expect from a shooter including limbs that can be severed or exploded by your bullets. The weapon aspect of this pipe is pretty brutal, allowing players to stab enemies in the neck which I must admit feels extremely gratifying. I call it a tool because not only is it an instrument of death, it’s also used to climb walls and pry open doors and vents. Upon trying to escape you get the main melee tool of the game, a metal pipe that can be used as two pieces or as one large pipe. Not much more to say about that, but I just thought I would mention it because I thought it was pretty cool.Īfter you get captured while trying to steal a secret Nazi file, you awaken in a dungeon-like cell.

Once inside you meet a giant German soldier named Rudi Jager and his crazy augmented dog named Greta that’s covered in armor. You begin Wolfenstein: The Old Blood posing as a German soldier in hopes of infiltrating the Nazi compound, but things don’t end up going according to plan. Blazkowicz as he tries to escape Castle Wolfenstein while encountering ancient mystical powers that could put the outcome of the war up for grabs. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is actually a prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order, and it tells the tale of B.J. MonsterVine was supplied with an Xbox One copy the game The New Order was released in May of 2014, so it’s nice to see developer Machine Games following the original title up with fan service over a year later. Bethesda, the publisher of some of the best games out there, including the Fallout and Elder Scrolls franchises is back at it again, this time with their stand alone DLC for Wolfenstein: The New Order entitled Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
