As you ready for midnight on May 5th, get a glimpse of what you can expect in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood as various sites go hands on with the game for the very first time.

Previews include:

Xbox Achievements/PlayStation Trophies – “Wolfenstein: The Old Blood ought to be every bit as essential as The New Order was”

AusGamers — “There are also other new weapons in the game, including new long-range bolt-action rifles and my personal favourite, a rocket-firing handgun called the Kampfpistole.”

IGN – “The incredible level of world detail MachineGames established in The New Order continues in The Old Blood, and the team remains committed to its pulp vision of an over-the-top Nazi nightmare.”

PCGamesN — “The Old Blood is MachineGames’ victory lap. It’s shorter than the last game, just eight chapters spread across two interconnecting story arcs, and it’s cheaply priced to reflect this.”

GamesRadar — “Built around the same framework of smartly branching, semi-linear map designs, and free-flowing, emergent strategies of brutal stealth and even more brutal gunplay, this is, if anything, a more intense formulation of The New Order’s heady brew. And I’m not just talking about the combat, which is as demanding, exhilarating, and instantly rewarding as it ever was.”

And in case you missed it, check out our very own Gary Steinman’s first look at various levels from the game.
