Professional reviews from gaming critics
What makes a Battlefield game special isn’t just chaos on a large scale, it’s when all the moving parts come together to create something that can be enjoyed by shooter fans of all ages and skill levels. It’s when striking visuals and top-notch sound design meet attention to detail. It’s when you and your squad can spend an entire match holding a single objective, then walk away with a sense of satisfaction knowing that you did your part. It’s all the moments and stories that are born from a single match that from a distance looks like nothing more than mayhem. It’s Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 6 had a lot to prove, especially as it’s been the only franchise to really go toe to toe with Call of Duty. The initial sales of Battlefield 6 certainly show promise, and with a Battle Royale mode to drop at some point in the future, there is a lot to be hopeful for here.
With Battlefield 2042, there were so many problems right out of the gate that by the time things had smoothed out and gotten back on track, it was far too little, too late. Comparatively, Battlefield 6 is already one of the best shooters of the past decade, and it's only been out for a few days. Chances are, at this rate, it could go down as the very best in the entire series.
The Battlefield series has really lost its way in recent years. Fortunately, Battlefield 6 seems to be getting back on track, returning to the essence of the brand that we loved so much.
Battlefield 6 is an improvement over its predecessor in many ways. The single player campaign has some impressive visuals, but the gameplay and story leaves much to be desired. The multiplayer is where Battlefield 6 shines, and should keep players engaged for the foreseeable future. I do wish the devs would have given us a console-only crossplay so Xbox and PlayStation gamers could game together. All in all, I imagine I’ll be jumping into Battlefield 6 for more often than I did Battlefield 2042. Granted, that wouldn’t take much. Battlefield 6 is a step in the right direction. But for future si...
Battlefield 6 isn’t quite as great as a couple of the series’ previous entries, but it’s still better than most of them, and is far and away the best AAA shooter to release this decade.
Battlefield 6 marks a welcome return to modern combat with excellent gunplay and squad-focused multiplayer that recaptures the magic of Battlefield 3 and 4. But a forgettable campaign, sluggish progression, and some frustrating balance issues prevent it from reaching its full potential.
Battlefield 6 isn’t the most exciting or innovative entry in the series so far, but it still delivers one of the strongest multiplayer offerings yet. Well-designed maps and the returning class system elevate matches, which especially shine in the new Escalation mode. It’s just a shame that the quality of the online play does not extend to the single-player campaign.
I’ve been hooked on the Battlefield franchise as a whole, playing just about every major release, ever since the release of the then-revolutionary Battlefield 3. It was all thanks to its its excellent squad-based gameplay, which did strike a sweet spot between grounded and arcadey playstyles in huge battles. However, it hasn’t been perfect, and the series has had some rough moves leading up to the mess that is Battlefield 2042, a mostly competent shooter that forgot what franchise it belo...
Battlefield 6 is like a company's mea culpa in game form: directly combatting past mistakes, yet never striving past the series' green zone.Reviewer's Note: Given the plethora of flaws, there's no avoiding SPOILERS for the campaign – as though it matters anyway. [...]
Intro and Gameplay I have fond memories of every single Battlefield entry. I’ve played them all and for the most part enjoyed them though some more than others. There is a lot riding on BF6 and mostly, this is a big win for EA and Battlefield Studios. First off—yes, there’s a campaign again. And w
