Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Damn fun game that still holds up. The atmosphere is great, the story is hilariously bonkers and the game is so stupid that it won me over. If you love FPS then don't skip this one.

i swear to god.. when i first ever played this game back when i was like 8 years old.. i couldnt even get past the entrance in the very first mission... i'd kill the first scientist then the 2 guards would come down and kill me... every single time.. even tho that happened i'd keep playing eventually i got outside in the first mission then died... now however many years it has been i finally beat the fucking game😎

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a massive improvement in terms of playability over the prior games, though it is still quite imperfect. The gameplay is solid, though the gunplay feels dated by modern standards and enemies can seem near indestructible with massive health totals and annoying gimmicks, and the random bullet spread can be infuriating when I get my teeth kicked in by some guy with the same gun as me, but able to hit his shots somehow The 2000s were the time for the evil sexy villain stereotype and Return to Castle Wolfenstein is victim to this, with an over-the-top antagonist that we literally never directly interact with. In the entire game. So much for all that backstory or whatever. The story itself is kind of a mashup of 2 separate stories across 6 missions that culminate into the anti-climactic 7th. Forgettable enemy types blend into tedious, though efficient level design that is much easier to navigate than 90s Wolfenstein titles. I would recommend this game for fans of the series, as unlike Spear of Destiny, it does provide a new experience for players, as well as proving insight into the Machinegames titles (Old Blood, New Order etc...) where events are referred to, though not set strictly in the same universe. If you are to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I would highly suggest IORTCW which provided me a bugless native resolution (1440p) experience, and was of trivial difficulty to install. I give it a 6/10 for its significants and its design but also its aged mechanics and gameplay

Ah yes..... Return to Castle Wolfenstein.... another memorable game from the early 2000s. NGL, it is fun but it's janky AF. So, if you want to experience a classic game but are prepared to torture yourself a little, this is the perfect recommendation for you. That said, there is also a remake of this but is no longer available on steam or any other digital platform as far as I know. But yea, this is related to the story of the newer games in this series. Give it a shot.

The best FPS to ever be made. Years ahead of its time with its objective, team based gameplay. Been playing over 20 years, nothing's ever come close.

loved it !!!! it has a lot of compatibility issues in windows 10, rest the game was awsomeee!!1

This is my first Wolfenstein game and after finishing the singleplayer I think it is a very good first impression. The first missions in the castle immediately make you feel like a nazi-killing machine and keeps you feeling that way for most of the 7 missions. There are a few points where I found it quite frustrating. the crypt section enemies and the forest compound stealth level in particular were very frustrating, and being an older game sometimes you just get stuck on a quicksave with low health dying over and over. Eventually (whether you restart the mission or just keep trying) you get past your frustration. For every level that frustrated me there were about 5 ahead of it that make you feel like an unstoppable super cool American super agent. If you're ok with some frustrating times in exchange for the satisfaction of mowing down nazis then I think this game has by far more good than bad.

A staple of early days FPS that has endless replay value and endearing jank. Nostalgia is one part of it surely but the game is forever fun.

A good confrontation against an elite special forces unit of half-naked nazi women in latex suits. Amazing game despite the years and a few bugs.

Favorite game of all time, though I wish Operation Resurrection was available on PC.

Uhhhhh....ya. So, I'm running into a problem that I don't think other players are running into to. Simply, my controls SUCK with this game. Almost every game I've ever played on PC has the standard 'WASD' controls that I imagine are universally used. Well....on Return To Castle Wolfenstein, the forWard 'W' button doesn't Work AT ALL. Even when I go into the controls menu, it says that the 'W' is activated. GREAT! So, Why isn't it Working. What the WhoozeeWhatzit is going on with the stupid 'W' control? WWWWW <---- see that?! Button is working like a charm. Not on this broken game, though. Oh Well.

love it. crashes when i die but love it i love the guns it has cool features :) its hard but a cool game

After playing this “classic”, I am fully convinced that everyone who has ever described this game as “the best Wolfenstein game” is delusional and needs to be institutionalized. The game plays like COD, despite having health and armor pickups. Every single enemy devours your armor like it was never there, and, it seems every single bullet does exactly 10 damage, and of course the AI has near-perfect aim nor does it have any recoil, so you’ll eat shit, while it destroys you over and over. This stupid ass goddamn bullet spread mechanic is also annoying as hell, cause it seems every gun just decides to shoot around the enemy after a second of continuous firing. Stealth is also jank as hell, enemies can see the whole map but you cannot. Enjoy the alarms. I’d say “don’t get me started” but I’ll start. Fuck the mutant enemies, fuck all of them. Fucking rocket launchers in CORRIDORS, an electric attack that has NO WIND UP, NEVER STOPS and can fucking damage you through walls and floors. Whoever balanced this game, I hope he never got to work on another game again. I also deduct additional points for the shitty windup and spread the Chaingun has. When 90% of the enemies in the game are just using carbines, there's no real use for the thing. The story is mostly run-of-the-mill stuff, too. Paced weirdly, as well. First you escape from Wolfenstein, the youzhe, then you suddenly kill zombies and demons, and then you have to stop some rocket and cyborgs. Idk, Gray Matter, I think you should’ve put the zombies later on, cause the rocket in my eyes is nothing compared to actual resurrected revenants. Though, I gotta give credit where credit is due, there are some interesting ideas in this game, still. This isn't just a direct remake of Wolf3D, it does have some original ideas. This game is just 8 hours of hell, of suffering and misery. Wolf3D was simple, but there is sophistication in its simplicity, this game is just a prototype for The New Order, really. I can’t recommend this, the bad outweighs the good. Id Software wasn't doing all that well back in the 2000s.

ive played this game for many years, i loved it, it runs like complete dogshit it crashes all the time, changing the resolution will absolutely fuck the game and even if you dont as soon as you finish a level it will prob just bug out or freeze or crash anyway, great game but dont buy this shit on steam

The best Wolfenstein game of all time, it has just the right amount of violence, simple objectives, simple interface, cutscenes are straight to the point and it feels like a game. There are no annoying half hour long and preachy story cutscenes like in the new Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and their spin-offs and no clunky cover shooter+health regeneration mechanics, just pure skill shooter game play and fun. 10/10 a great classic Wolfenstein experience.
