Wolfenstein is the direct sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein RPG. It featured a "re-imagined" disguised dark-haired B.J. Blazkowicz, retaining the unshaven look seen in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and dressed in civilian clothes rather than his usual military uniform.
The game mainly consists of the player shooting his way through hordes of different types of Nazis, ranging from normal soldier to ninjas. To deal with the large amount of enemies, the player has access to many typical WWII-weapons like the German MP40 or K98 rifle. In addition, during the course of the game he finds the medallion and learns four powers. While at first entering the Veil only allows him so see enemies more clearly and use strange flying creatures as bombs, he is later able to slow down time, surround himself with a protective shield or make himself stronger. However, the medallion's powers drain its energy, which needs to be refilled at power-spots that are nearly invisible in the real world.

Playing this to clear out the backlog. Not sure if I'm going to bother finishing, though. #Wolfenstein

2009's Wolfenstein is the epitome of mediocrity. It's a functional game, with adequate weapons, forgettable though visually solid levels, and a barely there story that won't hold your attention. The most interesting part may be the supernatural powers that you're given, which lead to some new options for approaching a firefight, but outside of that Wolfenstein doesn't do anything special. …
Read more2009's Wolfenstein is the epitome of mediocrity. It's a functional game, with adequate weapons, forgettable though visually solid levels, and a barely there story that won't hold your attention. The most interesting part may be the supernatural powers that you're given, which lead to some new options for approaching a firefight, but outside of that Wolfenstein doesn't do anything special. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game, it's just the epitome of an average one, and there's no real reason to seek it out unless you're sorely starved for shooters or wondering who Caroline Becker in the infinitely superior Wolfenstein: The New Order is. It does allow you to keep all of your weapons at once, rather than the modern two weapon style of shooter, which is a plus but not enough to set it out from the crowd. I enjoyed Wolfenstein, I just didn't love it. An unremarkable 6.5/10.
