Wolfenstein®: The Old Blood is a standalone prequel to the critically acclaimed first-person action-adventure shooter, Wolfenstein®: The New Order. The adventure, which spans eight chapters and two interconnected stories, features the hallmarks of MachineGames – thrilling action, immersive story and intense first-person combat. As war hero B.J. Blazkowicz, arm yourself with new weapons such as the bolt-action rifle and grenade-launching Kampfpistole as you attempt to thwart the advancing Nazi war machine, and take advantage of duel-wielding pipes that can be used for wall climbing – or for vicious take-downs of never-before-seen Nazi adversaries.

It's good.
It is the prequel to The new order and shares most of the same mechanics, so if you liked that then this is more of the same.
Length is probably 5-8 hours depending on difficulty and skill, however each level contains collectibles, score challenges and a secret level that has you playing the original wolfenstein maps, so could easily double those figures if you are a completionist.
Story was OK, nothing special.

For £7 it's amazing.
Not as good as the original. Gets a bit samey, but it's £7.
Edit: You don't need to have played the original, so can play this first. Just be aware the original will offer much more, so if anything it's a great appetiser.
i have been wondering about this too. thanks for the review. cant really go wrong with a £7 game that lasts a min of 5hours.

Great game, bit shortt but then again it was never released as a full length game, more like DLC. Good fun old-school style shooter. Got some replayability through challenges and bits.

Recently finished this on PS4 and thoroughly enjoyed it. It runs superbly, has an excellent frame rate and presents itself as a very well-polished game. A fun campaign that's certainly worth the asking price here.

I've not played the original game, would you recommend playing that first? Tia

I really enjoyed this, as you said it wasn't AS good as the original and the end boss was a little weak/generic.
If you haven't played The New Order I would pick this up first and then move seamlessly to that!
