6About Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Wolfenstein®: The Old Blood is a standalone prequel to the critically acclaimed first-person action-adventure shooter, Wolfenstein®: The New Order. The adventure, which spans eight chapters and two interconnected stories, features the hallmarks of MachineGames – thrilling action, immersive story and intense first-person combat. As war hero B.J. Blazkowicz, arm yourself with new weapons such as the bolt-action rifle and grenade-launching Kampfpistole as you attempt to thwart the advancing Nazi war machine, and take advantage of duel-wielding pipes that can be used for wall climbing – or for vicious take-downs of never-before-seen Nazi adversaries. STORY The year is 1946 and the Nazis are on the brink of winning World War II. In an effort to turn the tide in the allies’ favor, B.J. Blazkowicz must embark on an epic, two-part mission deep within Bavaria…. Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves - pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero's search for the coordinates

Anyone who enjoyed The New Order will absolutely find this worth the US$20 (at launch)
Anyone who enjoyed The New Order will absolutely find this worth the US$20 (at launch). One of the best expandalones I've played. Machine Games definitely understands what makes Wolfenstein great and I have proven the franchise is good hands.

The Old Blood is a standalone title that is a prequel to the 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order
The Old Blood is a standalone title that is a prequel to the 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order. It can be considered by some an "expansion pack", but the DL size alone (almost 40 GB) and fair length for its price point makes it a worthwhile purchase, especially if you enjoyed The New Order. If you're reading this and haven't played TNO, it's perfectly fine to play this first. There are no repeat levels from New Order and its an entirely new experience. On the 3rd highest difficulty (out of 5), it took me 7 hours to complete the main campaign. I did not find all the collectibles, have not touched a challenge mode, and did not complete all Nightmare levels. I reckon I can get 10-20 hours out of this game and even longer if I decide to play on "Uber". Pros: + More New Order style gameplay. + Challenge mode adds replayability. + Technologically and artistically sound. Graphics, sound, voice acting, music, are all well done. + Nightmare levels are a great homage to the roots of the series. + Level design is smart and encourages exploration. + Stealth mechanics allow more options than just guns blazing. + A fair challenge. Excellent FPS mechanics. + Memorable characters. Cons: - Enemies are samey. - While the stealth approach options are welcome, it lacks some fine tuning. - End boss is kind of cliche and an annoying fight, not b/c of challenge, stylistically speaking. If you have not played/do not own The New Order, I would recommend picking this up in a package deal along with it. TNO is in my top 3 games of 2014 and while I can't see myself ranking this that high for 2015, its a great additional chapter to that story.
