But what better way to do it than with the five bestWolfensteingames of all time, ranked.
We’re no mathematicians, but that marks a 41-year-long stint in 2022.
During this span,Wolfensteinreleased 13 complete game entries to its franchise.
It’s no doubt thatWolfensteinhas been a monumental franchise, even hall of fame worthy.
This time around the story wasn’t the anchor, it was the gameplay.
The arsenal of weaponry added to the fun, and we can’t forget about our faithful Pipe.
Which thanks to its multitool purpose has bailed us out more than once.
What really capped off the game was itsWolfenstein 3D-inspired Nightmare Levels.
The next game didn’t come till nine years later in 2001 withReturn to Castle Wolfenstein.
To no surprise, the game utilized the sci-fi setting the best way possible with its enemies.
It made players carefully consider their decisions, or be ready at a moment’s notice.
Which is now the bread and butter of FPS games likeCall of DutyandBattlefield.
This time though, it was working off ofWolfenstein: The New Order, which was a fantastic game.
That meant that following it up posed a challenge and exceeding it would be even more difficult.
Everything in the game was broken down to a science, and in turn, was executed flawlessly.
All around the game was an improvement fromThe New Order, evidently why it succeeded most players' expectations.
First, instead of being in the midst of WWII,The New Orderset’s you after it.
In this alternate universe, the Nazis have won the war, completely changing the scope of the story.
MachineGames fully realized this concept, bringing it to life inThe New Order.
Sure it was risky, but it ultimately succeeded with flying colors.
