More about Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Critics scored it 76. Players sit 14 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

7 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2023 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,193 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 804 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

5.9 hours to finish it, 16 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.

At 5.9 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
