Wolfenstein (2009) 2 Minute Review
Wolfenstein was released in 2009 to a massive…. FLOP 35 people got fired from Raven Software on the DAY it was released. The game did terribly, selling only 100,000 copies in the first month, which compared to other titles of that year, is HORRENDOUS. And finally, in 2014, with the release of Wolfenstein: The New Order, the game was delisted from all online platforms, new retail sales having already long since stopped. So, what went so wrong? The game starts – after some cutscenes – in a train. You shoot some bad guys, then blow up a another train – which is where the weird Wolfenstein shit starts. The train blowing up disturbs the gravitational field in the room, sending you flying amongst Nazis and bullets as you finish off the level. The next mission you are introduced to the Void. And oh man is this painful. The Void is honestly one of my least favourite special abilities in any game ever. It just feels so artificial, it doesn’t work well, and it would be twice the game without it....
