“Shooting Naz*s. I think it's more fast-paced than Call of Duty, which is good and the gore system is SOOO GOODDD!”

“I first played Wolfenstein the new order back in 2020 and honestly did not give it the credit it deserved at the time. Coming back to finish it made me realize what form of peakness I missed. The one major thing that…”

“This game is really fun. If your into Fallout, or Doom, you'd enjoy it. It can be a little too edgy at times, but I can't bring myself to hate at it. Also, because it's an older game you don't even need a huge beefy…”
“Still insane how good this is over ten years later, and seeing MachineGames use DNA from this in releases like Indiana Jones to refine their formula is fantastic, the building blocks for what it eventually culminates…”

“basically a steal at $20 shooting is very fun, UBER makes you really feel the desperation though it will be a fair amount of struggle to get to the end also learned to appreciate higher armor pick ups over a larger…”

“revitalizes the classic FPS formula with a compelling narrative and intense, old-school gunplay. Strong level design and memorable set pieces keep the action engaging, while surprisingly well-written characters add emotional depth. However, uneven pacing and occasional…”

It's unique in its art direction and style, the gameplay is fun and strikes a good balance between stealth and action, and the story and characters really pull you in. It's one of the best singeplayer FPS games I've played. Highly…”
