Professional reviews from gaming critics
The horrific monotony of trench warfare and the Lost Generation it birthed doesn’t really sit easy with what we expect from a first-person shooter. It’s hard to really enjoy that headshot when you’re surrounded by mutilated bodies writhing around in a muddy abyss, you know?
What happens when a series that has been focused on the future of warfare goes back in time and decides to become a WW1 first person shooter. In short some amazing things. Battlefield 1 is a return to form with old weapons and some of the best multiplayer I have played in years. As an old school history buff, it is nice to see the history of WW1 treated not only with respect but also accuracy. Here is our review of Battlefield 1.
Why beat around the bush? Battlefield 1 is the best Battlefield game in a long time. It’s got a surprisingly emotional and poignant single player campaign and the large scale multiplayer is fantastic – retaining it’s identity while making some smart changes to gameplay. By taking the genre back in time to World War 1, EA DICE has delivered one heck of an intense shooter and proves that sometimes the best way to move a franchise forward is to revisit the past.
Battlefield 1 is undoubtedly the breath of fresh air that both the genre and market have desperately been craving for quite some time. It’s accessible to both returning and new players, though it retains all of the roots that the franchise is known for. Maps are well-crafted, gunplay is responsive and fun and matches are as engaging as they have ever been. If you’re only buying one multiplayer shooter this fall, Battlefield 1 just might be the one.
World class multiplayer and an original, successful approach to single-player make Battlefield 1 the shooter to beat this Christmas.
If there is one shooter to be had this year, it is Battlefield 1. The series’ return to classically-styled warfare is a breathe of fresh air for both the franchise and the FPS genre. The solo experience(s) are enjoyable and serve as a primer for the larger, more enjoyable multiplayer experience. That multiplayer options feel like more than just a simple mode thanks to the new Operations mode, but are more like a living and breathing world that will keep players hooked for a long, long time.
Battlefield 1 is a triumphant return to form for the series and a must-have for any first-person shooter aficionado.
That said, it's an absolutely fantastic game. It shows the courage to break the mold of the established FPS settings, by bringing forth a nearly forgotten era, that comes packed with a lot of charm of its own. On top of that, it does so with tight and impactful gameplay that will keep the fans busy for a long time.
Only in Battlefield 1 will you bring a horse to a tank fight and squad-up with your allies in epic multiplayer battles with up to 64 players.
A captivating and visually enticing look through the eyes of heavy-hearted soldiers from WWI.
Battlefield Waltz could have for sure been much more than it was. It suffers from bad storytelling and bad pacing, but the characters had so much potential and were so fun that this didn’t have to be the case. On the bright side, you probably won’t notice or care all that much about the story’s flaws if all you’re looking for is a gushy, tamed, romance sort of game. It does do its job of offering romance with likeable characters, and doesn’t fall short of the sweet moments we all lo...
This is how the opening campaign continues, piecing together a handful of stories that were never told until you have a clear picture of exactly how bleak World War 1 really was. Battlefield 1 developer DICE has set out to deliver across four key areas which it believes makes Battlefield a unique franchise: All-out War on an epic-scale, Immersion, Strategy and Destruction.
