This really deserves some of the love the other iD software games are getting. A genuine classic and the greatest Wolfenstein game.

Nov. 2024

If this game got remastered, it would have potential to be the greatest video game of all time and im not even overexaggerating

Sept. 2024

Its a really fun arcade shooter (Edit.) don't be an idiot like me, you have to manually save this game before you quit out

Sept. 2024

This, along with the recent mod "RealRTCW 5.0, which upgrades the game to far better graphics, and that's just the start. Probably the best Wolfenstein game! I play at 4K, 120hz and it's just so good to play an old gem! Buy it now!

May 2024

Let me just describe this masterpiece in a few words Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Nazis, Supernatural when you combine all these elements into one game you get Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I went into this game with a lot of skepticism I didn't think it would hold up well in 2024 but I was proven wrong. We get to play in many different settings throughout the game. German countryside, mountains, French Chateau, Forests, Norwegian beach etc. Not just that the weapon variety is also top notch you get basic ww2 firearms then you have flamethrower, a tesla gun and even a minigun besides the variety of guns the way they react and the shooting feels so fluid plus the feedback from shooting the enemies is literally dopamine material. With all this out of the way the story itself is although unrealistic but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I won't spoil anything here but if you're a fan of all the genres I mentioned at the start just don't worry about the story you'll enjoy this. I would have ended this review without complaints but there is one issue this game DOES NOT WORK OUT OF THE BOX. You have to follow community guides and I recommend installing ioRtcw I'll leave a link to it down below https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw/releases Finally what's the verdict? Absolutely worth the price. 10/10
