I replayed the them recently so I feel pretty confident saying they’re all still great and theee nothing else on the market that’s even trying to do what these games do so it’s not like your gonna play them and think “oh this feels lesser wolfenstien 9 or whatever”. And as a series they’re really engaging to playthrough but each successfully does soemthing different so fatigue never really set in for me.
The New Order is the start of this if reboot, a fantastic introduction to this series with really well written characters and rock solid gunplay that hasn’t aged a day. It feels like they didn’t know of they’d get a sequal so they tried to make the most well rounded game they could.
The Old Blood, I really like this as a half life esque game in the sense it’s all one continuous journey where we never leave our protagonist eyes while making our way through castle wolfenstien, the set pieces aren’t as grand as The New Order but when you go in baring in mind this was a mid budget Expandalone it’s rock solid. They didn’t have budget for cutscenes so a lot of the silence is filled with BJ’s inner monologue (which wasn’t in the new order) and it’s really interesting and feels like we get a peak behind the curtain at our action hero murder machine. It Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome and it’s a fun break between New order and New Collossus.
New Collosus, this was really controversial when it came out but straight up this is my favourite of the franchise I remember people said it was too hard but maybe it was 2 games behind me but I thought this was the easiest but also most satisfying of the lot, the shooting was crisp and the story went in some surprisingly unpredictable ways and did an even better job of exploring BJ as a person.
