What players say
For me pure nostalgia. It is however also an entertaining game. The graphics are of its time and fine in that way. I like the small puzzles if you can call them that. Also neat pieces of game-play eg. the soldiers playing dead and how you can wound them into submission.

Eat lead Get buried in a lunchbox Wolfenstein, but it's extra silly Absolute Hall of Famer game, get it.
Cant believe people Ai generated video games back in the 90s. What Amazing technology. Very fun boomer shooter with non sensical level design and nice weapons. Base game is a lot of fun, extreme ROTT as well if you put it on easy. The hunt continues is kinda bad. First of all dont expect a completely new experience as with nightdives own quake and doom campaigns. These are just more ROTT levels. That are long...
