Battlefield 6 returns the series to form, delivering large-scale, cinematic multiplayer with satisfying gunplay, destructible environments, and strong tactical battles. Its single-player campaign is brief and underwhelming, and some map designs and balance choices feel imperfect, but the multiplayer action and overall polish keep it engaging.
Battlefield 6 is an explosive FPS with adrenaline-fueled multiplayer that is truly Battlefield at its best.
Battlefield 6 is more about refinements than surprises, but a well-made Battlefield is automatically one of the best shooters of the year.
Battlefield 6 delivers a thrilling multiplayer reset and a decent, if derivative single-player. But it still displays nagging doubts about what makes Battlefield special.
I’ve had such a good time learning the maps, mastering weapons, and discovering quirks of Battlefield 6, and I can’t wait to see how the live-service model rolls out over the next few months. Battlefield 6 is a brilliant time, and one that, for the first time in almost a decade, has a serious chance of rivaling Call of Duty.
The latest entry in the Battlefield series is an amalgamation of immersive moments like this. I only wish some of the postwar rewards matched my many acts of valor and that the campaign reflected the grittiness of its multiplayer counterpart. Despite some military blunders, Battlefield 6 has successfully turned the tide.
Battlefield 6 plays it safe but marks a return to form for the long-running series, delivering chaotic, large-scale multiplayer that's as familiar as it is uproariously fun
As it is right now, with the quality and quantity of content in the launch package of Battlefield 6, it is incredibly easy to recommend the game to anyone who enjoys multiplayer shooters. It’s an especially exciting proposition for those of us who just cannot keep up with Call of Duty’s rollerskates-based movement and its instantaneous time-to-kill. There’s finally a compelling middle ground between the indecipherability of tactical shooters and the yearly slop of CoD, and it’s one you won’t have to convince yourself to play simply because it’s there, you’ll do it with a big grin on your face because of how fun it is.
The Winter Offensive update has not been very well received. Understandbly so. Quite a lot of the game feels broken.
