I honestly just repurchased it for the nostalgia. This was one of those childhood games I loved watching my brother play. Of course, after years of playing newer-generation games, the graphics look pretty bad now, LOL—but the writing back then was so much better. Just a raw, memorable story. It’s unfortunate that we’re in the Gen Z gaming era now, where every game has to be super fast-paced or it dies out. But this game will forever have a place in my heart. It felt great playing through it again, reliving those memories with my broski.
The game that started a really good WW2 franchise! I got this game in primary school, because a colleague got it as a gift on a magazine, but was not playing games, so they gave it to me, and I loved it from the start. The graphics do look now dated, but are still beautiful, walking through the ruins of Berlin in the dying breath of WW2 and the russian army getting closer and closer to finish the remnants of the german army. The whole point of this game, the sniping, is done beautifully: - The different types of rifles you come across the game - The distances slowly increase every level - Bullet drop, wind, heart-rate, everything influences every shot you take - Set pieces of providing covering fire to your allies are action packed and fun - Stealth also works nicely, being able to use a suppressed gun, and move the bodies away to not attract the attention of any other guard that may pass through - The traps you can leave behind you as cover or to stop vehicles in their tracks(the trip wire grenades being so satisfying to use) Also, as always, some cons: - The level design feels at times repetitive: some are 100% unique, but some(probably due to the limitations of the time) use the same textures and structures, and feels like you never left the first stage, but the streets being so different and weather changing do manage to make up for it. - The single most annoying: which is the ice skating walking. Clearly the movement system was not meant for this kind of purpose, with your character constantly sliding and it feels hard to control when you need to move faster - Enemies sometimes have deadly accuracy even though they are far from you, and use automatic weapons, and can drain your HP in seconds Overall, it is a game worth playing, and of course, the entry point in the franchise!
It is the original there are great games like this pre-bloatware that capture your spirit and are fun to play. I have been gaming since 1976 when my Dad brought pong home from work. College was arcade games. I got a better grade in German because I played a perfect game in Galaxia. It spoke German...I of course knew the game by heart lol anything for a passing grade in language.
