I recommend the game, but not this version. I would suggest playing this mod RealRTCW: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1379630/RealRTCW/ It's an overhaul to work better on modern hardware and some newer looking graphics. This version on steam is actually unplayable for me so didn't even have a choice. I changed one setting, it crashed and I tried so many things but cannot get the game to load at all. As for the actual game played through REALRTCW, I enjoyed it and would recommend.

If this game got remastered, it would have potential to be the greatest video game of all time and im not even overexaggerating

This, along with the recent mod "RealRTCW 5.0, which upgrades the game to far better graphics, and that's just the start. Probably the best Wolfenstein game! I play at 4K, 120hz and it's just so good to play an old gem! Buy it now!
