So I'm not yet done with the game, but I'm already tired of the utter lack of cloud support for this game.

I play on both a desktop and a gaming laptop. Most of my games, including ones years older than this one, have built-in or Steam-supported cloud save syncing. This? Nope. Nothing. I got tired of only being able to play it on my laptop, where I initially played for a few hours, and then couldn't play on my desktop because the saves didn't transfer. Eventually, after getting about six hours in, I gave up and transferred the save files across to the desktop.

Guess what? Perks aren't part of your save. They're not part of anything you would expect. All the perks I've gained at this point have been lost.

I know most people aren't going to look to play something ten years old, anyway, but I want to further recommend against it when there are games at least eight years older than it that do a far better job for cloud save syncing.

As for the gameplay itself, it's mediocre at best, but what can you expect from Bethesda? Their strength is world-building, and the levels in this are so tight and largely one-way that you don't even get to experience that. This isn't the Wolfenstein I remember from younger days. It didn't pretend to be, but it's far worse than you might have expected, with quick action events and other lazy additions to make cutscenes "interactive" by forcing people to hammer away at a single key in order to not die in what's really a cutscene instead of just showing what you want to happen.

It's not for me. If I want an action game - especially of this age - I'd rather play something like Mass Effect. Look elsewhere unless you REALLY want to play Wolfenstein and you find it for 90% or more off.
