Most aren’t even armed, so you just stand fifty yards away and pop pistol rounds into their heads. The main issue is that the zombies are dumb, which makes the game super easy and (by extension) boring.
In the second half-the Nazi zombie half-things take a bit of a dive. I was primarily impressed by how much detail was in the environments, from the names of beers on vending machines to the way the Nazis interact with each other before you arrive on the scene. Castle Wolfenstein’s stone corridors start to blend together after a while, but there’s enough of that ex-Starbreeze/ Escape from Butcher Bay feel for the game to lure you in. Standing on its own, Old Blood is a fine piece of content-especially the first half. But again, this is a $20 expansion, not a full $60 title. I mean, how different do people really expect the two to be? All the same, the main problem with Old Blood is that you’re inevitably going to compare it to New Order, and no doubt find it lacking. Honestly, this is one of those cases where if New Order didn’t exist, I think people would be more receptive towards Old Blood-which is funny, since Old Blood is an expansion. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Blood Dragon threw all that away in favor of non-stop action and ‘80s pastiche. While the original Far Cry 3’s narrative didn’t always ever make the deep, philosophical points it thought it was making, it at least tried to do so. In many respects, Old Blood reminds me of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

You’ll only meet a few friendly characters during Old Blood, and none that you’ll really get a chance to bond with. If, on the other hand, you loved the quiet character-focused interludes? Well, there’s not a lot of that here.Īlmost none, really. heading to the secret Nazi moon base) then you’re going to feel right at home with this follow-up. Old Blood is also campy as hell-more Dead Snow than The Longest Day-so if your favorite part of New Order was its more absurd moments (i.e.
