Gorgeous, fascinating and loaded with content, Battlefield V is the ultimate war odyssey. Battlefield 1 made a striking and successful return to World War I in 2016. Widely ignored in video [...]

When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.

DICE delivers a solid WWII shooter that leaves us wanting more solo-centric War Stories

Battlefield V demands a significant time investment match-to-match, but the intensity of its large-scale battles can be palpable.

Out of all of the FPS titles I play, the Battlefield series is probably my favourite overall, with Battlefield 4 in particular playing host to some personal

Battlefield V is a solid shooter but feels like it should have been delayed a few months to ensure all features would be available at launch.

Like a fresh recruit, Battlefield V was clearly deployed into action without adequate preparation. And a variety of bugs, underdeveloped features, and placeholder menu screens remind you of that at nearly every turn. However, there’s a great deal of raw potential here that could, with time and luck, be forged into one of the series’ best. Bold changes to Battlefield’s traditional gunplay, essential resources, and team dynamics create a strong foundation.

This is a Battlefield experience through and through. However, I find myself staring more at the gaps in the menus than the accessible parts that are there.

Lock & load for the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Fight in high-intensity infantry combat. Rip through the skies in aerial dogfights. Demolish your environment for a strategic advantage. In a war of tanks, fighter jets, and massive combat arsenals, your squad is the deadliest weapon. This is Battlefield 6.

Battlefield is an interesting beast. One of the big names in online first person shooters it is perpetually at odds with its competition, not of its own accord but usually by rabid fan bases that have drawn a line in the sand. As such it is never granted the opportunity to exist as its own entity; always compared even when it doesn’t want to be. This has resulted in Battlefield attempting to find ways to set itself apart from the rest of the war shooters that exist, and for the most part, t...

With Battlefield 5, Dice decided that they were taking the franchise back to its roots with a World War 2 setting. Unfortunately, they also incorporated changes in gameplay and character design that will not be to everyone’s liking.
