* ContestedSequel: Contested Prequel, but still. Or rather, prequel. Some feel this ''The Old Blood'' is a bit of a step down, as, for example, the environments weren't nearly as varied as in down from ''The New Order'' for several reasons, such as well as being even shorter.its shorter length, its relative lack of varied environments, and its weaker story. Others, however, appreciate the game for paying homage to the classic ''Wolfenstein'' entries, and for focusing less on story in favor of a pure gameplay experience.

* HarsherInHindsight: During the Wulfburg crisis, Blazkowicz somberly remarks that his father said if BJ "did wrong, [the monsters] would creep out at night and get [him]." And that they came anyway despite B.J. trying not to do wrong his whole youth. Sad enough, gets worse when you play ''[[VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus The New Colossus]]'' and see [[AbusiveParents what kind of monster came for poor ol' Billy anyway.]]
