Offers improved weapons and enemy variety, enhancing the gameplay experience.
The always-active automap feature, while initially seeming unnecessary, can reveal secret passages and adds a layer of exploration.
Retains the nostalgic charm of the original Blake Stone while providing new levels and unique enemies.

The game is very short, taking around 90 minutes to complete, which may disappoint players seeking a longer experience.
The minimap is harder to discern and less effective than expected, detracting from the overall navigation experience.
Largely feels like an expansion rather than a full sequel, with limited new content compared to the original game.

The story serves as an extension of the previous game, "Aliens of Gold," where Dr. Goldfire escapes to the planet Selon to continue his mutant experiments in an abandoned facility. While the narrative introduces new enemies and weapons, it largely mirrors the original gameplay, presenting a familiar experience with a few twists, including a significant plot twist involving the fate of Dr. Goldfire. Overall, the storyline adds depth but remains somewhat ambiguous regarding the existence of non-human sentient beings in the game's universe.
- “Pretty much everything you could expect from Wolfenstein with some flourish and more story.”
- “As for the story, it's more of an extension to the storyline of 'Aliens of Gold' where Dr. Goldfire has escaped following the events of episode 6 in 'Aliens of Gold' to the planet Selon, where he's taken over an old abandoned training facility and converted it into a lab to continue work on his mutant experiments.”
- “Or maybe they aren't aliens; the Blake Stone story never clarifies whether there are non-human sentient beings in the game's universe.”
- “Basically the same gameplay with a new storyline, enemies, and weapons.”

The gameplay of Blake Stone is often viewed as a lesser experience compared to its contemporaries, particularly Wolfenstein 3D, due to its reliance on outdated mechanics and engine technology. However, it retains familiar gameplay elements with new enemies, levels, and a map system, making it appealing for fans of the genre seeking a fresh storyline. Overall, while it offers some innovations, it largely mirrors the classic FPS formula.
- “Gameplay is still the same, with new enemies and new levels; a must-have for any Wolfenstein 3D fan!”
- “The biggest addition to gameplay has to be the new map system.”
- “Blake Stone will forever just be a tiny footnote in the history of FPS games. While Wolfenstein 3D was very successful, by the time Blake Stone was made, id Software had split off and created the first Doom game with a much more advanced FPS engine, making the gameplay in Blake Stone look like a poor cousin.”
- “Basically the same gameplay with a new storyline, enemies, and weapons.”
- “Biggest addition to gameplay has to be the new map system.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect in the game reminiscent of the Wolfenstein 3D era, where discovering secrets often involves tedious wall-pressing without any guiding system, leading to a frustrating experience rather than an engaging challenge.
- “As you know, in the Wolf3D era, secret pushwalls could be anywhere, and there was no system to guide you on how to access them, only tedious wall pressing.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I find the grinding mechanics to be overly tedious, often detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
