![]() Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus attempts to further flesh out Blazkowicz’s backstory after the events of The New Order. The Old Blood may not have the same heart as The New Order or The New Colossus, but it does have plenty of gore. Challenge Arenas add more madness, as players can fight through waves of foes in order to secure bronze, silver, or gold trophies. The slightest mistake could quickly turn a covert operation into a small-scale war. It’s best enjoyed by fans who love jumping straight to the action, as it gives them an opportunity to dual wield rifles and bludgeon enemies to death with pipes right away. There’s hardly any reprieve in between heavy gunfire and melee combat, as even the game’s stealth sequences are filled with Nazi patrols. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood may not offer a captivating narrative, but its gameplay is reckless and fun. Environments are more varied here than they are in other entries, as players will fight through catacombs, laboratories, and grassy fields to interrupt cultist ceremonies and halt magical resurrections. Though Return to Castle Wolfenstein‘s gameplay isn’t special, it does attempt to shake up the formula with its strange characters and well-designed set pieces. Thankfully, it does build upon the franchise’s fantastical elements by introducing fans to powerful ancient Dark Knights and menacing cyborg X-Creatures as they travel around the world to take down Hitler and the Nazi SS Paranormal Division. Similarly to 2009’s Wolfenstein, Return to Castle Wolfenstein doesn’t offer anything unique. ![]() It’s no surprise that the game wasn’t well-received by fans and sold only 100,000 copies during its first month on the market. Its multiplayer component also lacks inspiration and can be buggy at times. The title becomes too easy toward later sections and switching to hard mode renders it unplayable due to incredibly difficult boss fights. It’s a generic first-person shooter that doesn’t offer anything new as far as gameplay is concerned, though the Thule Medallion’s ability to temporarily halt time and send out energy blasts is fun to use on occasion. The Wolfenstein reboot released in 2009 fails to tap into the franchise’s interesting lore. Spear of Destiny feels more like an expansion than a sequel and is ultimately the most forgettable entry the franchise has to offer. Fans may grow tired of encountering the same foes over and over again, especially considering how they’re identical to those found in Wolfenstein 3D. Floor designs feel haphazard and it’s easy to fall prey to goons lurking in unseen corners. While it maintains the thrilling action its predecessor is known for, it doesn’t offer any noticeable improvements outside of higher enemy counts. ![]() Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny isn’t memorable. The franchise’s mobile spin-off, Wolfenstein RPG, is also not included in this list of the best Wolfenstein games. Keep in mind that the two titles released in the early ’80s, Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, have not been included, as they have nothing to do with B.J. ![]() Our ranking of every mainline entry so far may evoke memories of murdering Mecha-Hitler or staying up late with friends to play one more match of Enemy Territory. The Wolfenstein franchise takes great pride in allowing video game fans everywhere the chance to annihilate Nazi scum with all sorts of real-life and fictional weaponry.
