I'm a crappy FPS player but I'm down to blast some Nazis. I'm also a noob at PC gaming.

Looks like I can get a key for the whole Alt History Collection for under 20 bucks from some vaguely shady websites.

Or I can try the piratey seas but I've been traumatized from college years of torrent viruses bricking my netbooks (DLing WWE shows, TV series, and porn) and I don't have the know-how of pirating in 2026.

I played the first Wolfenstein some years ago and it was a great experience. It's explicitly woke because, well, you're killing Nazis, but you're not a super patriot american, you're an underground group of people including queer and with disabilities who are for obvious reasons the strongest resistance against Nazis.

It's fast-paced, not overly long, serious when it has to be serious and over the top when it has to be over the top, and it achieves a very good balance of length of levels and pace of action. For example, the first Doom (2010s) has the huge flaw IMO that the levels are unnecessarily long, wolfenstein doesn't suffer from this.
