Just played through Wolfenstein the New Order and about halfway through the Old Blood. I'm really enjoying both games. I would say they're probably some of the better FPS games I've played in recent memory, and I would attribute a large part of that to being able to take different approaches to gunfights (especially in the Old Blood). Most of the locations are neat, and I feel like there's enough character yo each location that it's memorable and the notes left behind aren't too excessive. The gunplay is great, and I LOVE the lean in ability and bring able to have pretty much full control in the X and Y direction (i.e. you can lean left and right, BUT you can also lean at an able and stretch upward). Works really well for a FPS game.
I will say the only thing I have a gripe about is the performance on PC, though I'm not sure how much of that can be attributed to me playing it on Gamepass PC. That and the graphics aren't stellar, and some of the assets look downright bad. I think of the two games, the New Order is the stronger of the two (though that makes sense, since it probably had a bigger budget). The Old Blood relies on the same gameplay loop a bit too often unfortunately.
All said and done, I would give the New Order and 8.5/10 and the Old Blood a 8/10.
