Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Perché parliamoci chiaro: lasciare un gioco all'ultima missione quando si è piccoli è un trauma che ti porti dietro. Ti bloccavi lì, magari perché finivi le munizioni, magari perché quel maledetto boss finale faceva troppa paura, o semplicemente perché a quell'età certe sfide sembravano insormontabili. E quel castello restava lì, incompiuto, nella mente. Ecco come si sente davvero l'esperienza di aver riacquistato e chiuso Return to Castle Wolfenstein dopo una vita. 🎖️ Il cerchio si chiude: RTCW vissuto vent'anni fa e finito oggi Quel trauma infantile chiamato "Catacombe" Rigiocandolo da grandi, la prima cosa che si prova è una scarica di nostalgia mista a un "ma davvero mi faceva così paura?". Quando eravamo piccoli, le missioni nelle catacombe non erano un semplice livello di un videogioco: erano un horror psicologico. Quei maledetti zombi che sfondavano i muri e i Cavalieri Neri con lo scudo che avanzavano lentamente... roba da giocarci solo di giorno e con le luci accese. E poi l'ansia della foresta, dove se facevi scattare l'allarme fallivi la missione, passata a studiare i movimenti delle guardie con il fucile Snooper. Rimetterci le mani oggi fa sorridere, ma fa anche capire quanto quel gioco fosse avanti per l'epoca nel farti sentire costantemente in pericolo. Il Feeling dei vecchi FPS (quando non c'era la salute che si ricarica) Tornare a controllare B.J. Blazkowicz dopo anni di sparatutto moderni è uno shock benefico. Niente coperture automatiche, niente salute che torna al 100% se ti nascondi dietro un muro. Oggi come allora, se hai 10 di vita, devi correre a cercare un pollo arrosto o un kit medico nei refettori del castello, pregando che non spunti un soldato dietro l'angolo. Le armi hanno lo stesso identico feeling devastante che ti ricordavi. Il rumore metallico del fucile Mauser, la scarica del Tesla Gun e, ovviamente, il Venom Minigun che vaporizza i Super Soldati nei laboratori di Deathshead. Usarle oggi, con la coordinazione e l'esperienza accumulate negli anni, ti fa sentire finalmente il predatore e non la preda. La Vendetta su Heinrich I Arrivare a quell'ultima missione, quella dove ti eri fermato da ragazzino, ha un valore quasi terapeutico. Rivedere quel portale che si apre, Marianna Blavatsky che viene consumata dal rituale e Heinrich I che sorge dalla terra con la sua spazzata di spada e i fantasmi che ti perseguitano. Da bambini sembrava un muro invalicabile. Rigiocarlo oggi, scaricargli addosso tutto il piombo del Venom, i razzi e i proiettili rimasti, e vedere finalmente quel boss crollare a terra, ha un sapore indescrivibile. Quel filmato finale e i titoli di coda non sono stati solo la fine di un gioco, ma la chiusura ufficiale di un capitolo della tua infanzia.

I mostly enjoyed my time with this one, though I did encounter a few bugs here and there. In a desperate attempt to give the Axis the upper hand and win World War II, Himmler tries to resurrect prince Heinrich I and his knights. That's all you need to know, everything else serves as a vehicle for Blazkowicz to blast some Nazis, which is all I expected from a Wolfenstein game. On the graphics front, it looks good and is on par with other games from 2001. The game is quite inconsistent in its level design and the number of secrets spread across its 26 missions. I'd rather have fewer missions with more polished maps. The stealth section in the "Forest Compound" level is very finicky. Nevertheless, it's a solid early-aughts FPS campaign. From what I've read, the Xbox and PS2 versions have some changes, so I'd like to play them someday. P.S. This franchise has an aversion to shotguns.

Was ist los?

це звичайний думер шутер коридорна стрілялка якій бракує зомбаців і мутанців так крім того англійсбка локалізація це не оригінал насправді сюжет такий Все почалось з того що Бандера сидячи в нациському карцері утікає перебивши всіх в тюрмі лише однією заточкою і вирішує до України проголосити там незалежність і нашляху убиваючи нациків і совків лише однією заточкою кучками сотнями він натикається на Америкосів і Англійців що пропонують йому вигідну пропозицію зробити Україну незалежною в замін шо ми переб"єм усіх нациків навіть мертвих ну і Бандера наївний ведеться і погоджується і вот Бандера одним кулиметом і вогнеметом проривається до прям центру Берліну і убиває усіх прям усіх нациків комуністів англійців французів амереканців поляків кітайців японців африканців італійців кароче ну прям усе живе і вот Бандера повертається до Львову і проголошує 4 незалежний Український рейх СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ

For a 2001 game its pretty good, a solid fps game with varying locations and enemies and a cool story, it almost feels like a modern indie game with old school graphics, its straight forward and fun.

One of the greatest shooters I've ever played. Feels like a cross between Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the British campaign of the first COD (now known as "Call of Duty Classic" (which came after it, in 2003, I'm just using it for reference) and Half-Life 1 as far as gameplay but is quite distinctly its own game. Very unique setting especially, no other like it. It just does so much right for a shooter. There's great weapon variety, enemy variety, ways of tackling situations (due to said varieties lol), a super unique setting that brings you through a lot of places like snowy European villages to legitimately paranormal catacombs. It gets genuinely spooky at parts which is a hard feat in a game where you're a one man army mowing down entire battalions. Everything feels like a movie with a mix of you feeling like a spy behind enemy lines (which you are basically) with like 80s comic book mecha-robot Nazis, Nazis summoning spirits, miniguns, cyborgs, ninja women in latex kind of vibe. I find it charming personally. The game engine feels great to move around in, you can b-hop really easily and gain momentum and if you know how to air strafe a bit you can clear corners and just zoom through certain areas. I really really like that as a fan of Source engine games. I really would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of shooters. I've seen so many people regard it as one of the best, and having beaten it and gone back a bit, and had it stuck in my memory for a while now, I think it really is one of the greatest, one of a kind shooters I've ever played. Highly recommend.

One of the best games i have ever played. Ignore the playtime, because i never played it here on steam. Completed it countless of times and its truly a masterpiece.

Amazing game, needs a Xbox port

Легенда на все времена! Эта игра — чистый кайф. Даже спустя столько лет она бодрит. Здесь нет лишней «воды», только крутой геймплей, отличные уровни и та самая неповторимая атмосфера. Мрачные замки и нацистский оккультизм — это просто топ. Если вы еще не играли, обязательно исправьте это. Настоящая классика, в которую просто приятно возвращаться снова и снова.

Very cool game! Games engine is based on quake 3 and this is used on Call of duty games after this. Insane.
