✓ Both are tactical first-person shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and third-person shooting

≠ Its own twist: deep simulation, ranged combat and historical setting, while skipping strong narrative focus

The 2005 original that started the series: a lone OSS sniper in the ruins of Berlin, built around bullet drop, wind and breath control at a time when few shooters modelled any of it. The ballistics still hold up. Everything around them does not — movement is famously slippery and frame-rate dependent, the controls are unmapped and awkward, and the tutorials interrupt constantly.

≠ Stands apart with horror tension, adventure storytelling and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping third-person shooting

A Quake III-engine shooter split between grounded WWII combat and occult nonsense, and it commits fully to both. The stealth missions and the weapon feel still hold up. Enemy variety thins out badly in the second half, the supernatural turn loses some players entirely, and the level design assumes patience for hunting hidden switches.
