One of my first and favourite games, a true masterpiece that doesn't age (except for graphics maybe...) Enthusiasts ported it on Oculus Quest 2 - brilliant! Catacombs levels scare the shlt out of me;) This game can be a single reason to buy Quest.
  • one of best FPS of all times
  • you are grown up and games are just nostalgia not joy
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is an absolute gem that successfully combines nostalgia with thrilling gameplay, offering an unforgettable gaming experience. As a fan of the original Wolfenstein games, I was ecstatic to revisit the iconic world of Castle Wolfenstein, and I was not disappointed.

The first thing that struck me about Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the remarkable attention to detail. The developers at id Software and Gray Matter Interactive did a phenomenal job of capturing the essence of the classic Wolfenstein games while modernizing the gameplay and graphics. The atmospheric environments, from the dark and sinister corridors of the castle to the sprawling outdoor landscapes, are beautifully crafted and truly immerse you in the World War II era.

The single-player campaign is an exhilarating roller coaster ride filled with intense action and a gripping storyline. Playing as B.J. Blazkowicz, the heroic protagonist, you'll find yourself infiltrating the Nazi stronghold to uncover their diabolical plans. The missions are varied and challenging, offering a perfect balance between stealth, tactical combat, and all-out mayhem. The enemy AI is commendable, adding an extra layer of excitement as you strategize and adapt to their clever tactics.

The arsenal of weapons at your disposal is impressive, ranging from classic firearms to experimental prototypes, each with its unique feel and devastating firepower. The gunplay is satisfying, with precise controls that make every shot count. Additionally, the inclusion of supernatural elements and the undead adds an unexpected twist to the gameplay, elevating the overall excitement and suspense.

Moreover, Return to Castle Wolfenstein offers an extensive multiplayer mode that keeps the fun going long after the campaign is complete. Engaging in intense online battles against other players or cooperating in cooperative missions with friends provides hours of addictive gameplay. The ability to customize characters, unlock new abilities, and participate in objective-based modes adds depth and replayability to the multiplayer experience.

The graphics, even by today's standards, hold up remarkably well. The character models, environments, and lighting effects are impressive, showcasing the game's commitment to delivering an immersive experience. The sound design is equally commendable, with an outstanding soundtrack that heightens the tension and epic moments, while the voice acting is top-notch, adding authenticity to the characters.

In conclusion, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is an outstanding game that successfully pays homage to its roots while offering a modern and thrilling gameplay experience. Whether you're a fan of the original games or a newcomer to the series, this classic shooter will captivate you from start to finish. With its engaging single-player campaign, addictive multiplayer mode, and overall attention to detail, it's a must-play for any gamer looking for a dose of nostalgia and action-packed fun.
