Wolfenstein 3D

happy fucking 30th

I understand how revolutionary it was for the time, but the vanilla version hasn't really aged too well. To be honest, I think the lack of automap is its biggest issue, especially since the levels are so labryinthine. It's just so easy (and tedious) to get lost. Instead of wanting to explore more, I just tried to find the door as soon as possible.
I played the EcWolf version and enjoyed it so much more. There's an automap this time, which makes it much easier to explore, and a quicksave feature. The original also has a save option, but it just takes longer. Besides, it just runs much more smoothly.

Overall, it's fine. But it's just amazing to see how much Doom improved on this.

It's incredible how much the framework of this was improved upon by Doom. It's like night and day.
I would have ranked this a high 7, but the Nocturnal Missions brought my overall rating down to a high 6.

I feel like I respect this game more than I actually enjoy it. Doom is just so much better [2]

A blast to play on the highest difficulty, but they really went overboard with the shit level design in episode 6 (and also a bit in episode 4).

The later episodes aren't so bad if you play it today with the EcWolf port... that is until you get to Episode 6. Screw those dogshit levels.

the technology behind wolf wasn't that revolutional and the game isn't fun after playing it for about half an hour

better than doom
