I’m a crappy FPS player but I’m down to blast some Nazis. I’m also a noob at PC gaming.
Looks like I can get a key for the whole Alt History Collection for under 20 bucks from some vaguely shady websites.
Or I can try the piratey seas but I’ve been traumatized from college years of torrent viruses bricking my netbooks (DLing WWE shows, TV series, and porn) and I don’t have the know-how of pirating in 2026.

fitgirl-repacks.site is a safe source of high seas games. A VPN is also necessary for hiding the torrent activity from your ISP, I use Mullvad. qBittorrent is a good torrent client.
or just usenet if you can spare the $5 a month or whatever it costs… then you dont have to worry about getting caught at all
Same $5/mo as the vpn subscription, but I do not know shit about usenet

^ everything on it is curated, everything with a star is super curated, it has pretty much everything you’ll ever need on it
for general game piracy i’d recommend https://ankergames.net/ and https://gog-games.to/. If you have a slower internet connection, https://fitgirl-repacks.site/. fmhy has other links to check out if your game isn’t on any of these
just remember if you’re doing any torrenting you need a VPN, since you’re giving your IP to everyone you’re downloading/uploading to/from, and copyright holders will often just like sit in the torrent and ISP strike everyone with visible IPs. i personally like mullvad
edit: also do not use Chrome since Google disabled a bunch of adblock functionality on Chrome
use Firefox and something like https://ublockorigin.com/

as for the 2010s wolfenstein games, 2009 is fine, The New Order is great, The New Colossus is good but definitely has a stronger second half, The Old Blood is a fun nazi zombies prequel, Youngblood is completely forgettable outside of co-op, if i was gonna play all of them i’d play them in this order
TNO -> TOB -> TNC -> if you’re bored and want some more wolfenstein: 2009 (the three MachineGames games are a reboot, but they share some light continuity nods and characters with 2009) -> Youngblood if you’re really, really bored and have a second person to rope into it
King shit. Thank you very much, fellow hexbear
np comradelast tip just in general when using these sites is have an ad blocker like ublock origin on and use Firefox, a year or two ago Google disabled a bunch of ad blocking functionality on Chrome
that and https://online-fix.me/ for multiplayer games, it’s on the fmhy site but it’s crazy how advanced game piracy is these days, as long as everyone’s playing the same cracked copy you can just invite them to your game via steam lmao
Don’t forget there’s the forgotten 2009 Wolfenstein you can download for free off myabandonware
There’s a reason everyone forgot about that one
I only played it when it came out. Not perfect but a good dumb shooter. I think it was made by Raven just before id got acquired which is why it can’t be sold anymore
imo all the mid shooters of that era have just aged terribly, singularity is the same way. It was novel back then that you have cool gimmick powers but it doesn’t stand the test of time
Singularity always sucked. There was that one time you opened a door by reinflating a barrel and that was essentially spoiled for me in a review
TNO is basically Half Life 3. It is an excellent and surprisingly tender-hearted game. The Old Blood is meh; it’s like meme Halloween DLC. The New Colossus is oddly different tonally from the first game in a way that is hard to describe, but just not as compelling for some reason.

I was really looking forward to The Old Blood after playing TNO to see some classic Wolfenstein tropes served a lá New Wolf but yes, it ended up being just kind of an okay DLC and the supernatural elements felt really undercooked.

I think that the election of Donald Trump and the rise of the alt-right between the two games really affected the sequel’s writing. After the Nazi villains were shown in a sinister, creepy light in TNO the devs made sure to make them as stupid and pathetic as possible in the sequel. To really drive the point home, they wheel out
spoiler
a decrepit, demented Hitler to piss, shit and vomit all over himself as he shoots Ronald Reagan in the face
The subplot with BJ’s retconned racist, anti-semitic southern white trash dad also feels like another take that against American right wingers
A large part of what made the first game so compelling was the serious, solemn way in which they depicted the horror and despair of a post-Nazi victory Europe and what made exploding them into gibs by the dozens feel so good. Turning the whole thing into some slapstick grindhouse flick just sucked all the gravitas out
I disagree. The Old Blood is an underappreciated if flawed gem which needs to be played after TNO (as intended) to really absorb the feeling of grim determination amidst hopelessness that the first level of TNO only touched on. Sure it’s a bit more arcadey and has literal zombies but it doesn’t really take away from its purpose.
Plus it has a sublime cover of The Partisan as its end credits theme.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I love the new Wolfenstein games. The characters are lovable, and the shooting feels really good. The first level of the second game has you playing from a wheelchair, some really fun level design there.
I feel like they turned all the lovable characters from the first game into cartoony, unlikeable assholes in the second. I just really did not like the vibe shift from kinda serious to ultra whacky at all
The first game is really good, the second kind of sucks and the third game is tedious co-op slop. The action is still pretty good in the second game and there are some moments and setpieces that deserve to be experienced even if the overall package is much weaker
You kill nazis. Just pirate it though
I played the first Wolfenstein some years ago and it was a great experience. It’s explicitly woke because, well, you’re killing Nazis, but you’re not a super patriot american, you’re an underground group of people including queer and with disabilities who are for obvious reasons the strongest resistance against Nazis.
It’s fast-paced, not overly long, serious when it has to be serious and over the top when it has to be over the top, and it achieves a very good balance of length of levels and pace of action. For example, the first Doom (2010s) has the huge flaw IMO that the levels are unnecessarily long, wolfenstein doesn’t suffer from this.
the first one is fun and short
The ARG is the best one but you’re not allowed to talk about it.
i only played the 1st one and it was amazing
however, like i do with all shooters for some reason
, i played it in this extremely tactical, cover/ambush/suppress way when i should have been run and gunning like it was Doom
