Its campaign is a well-rounded and suitably crafted anthology of Great War tales. It will raise some questions about how it deals with war and conflict, but I’m confident that Battlefield 1 will stand the test of time as a respectful contributor to the discussion.

Battlefield 1 ist eine gelungene Abwechslung und liefert eine der bisher besten Kampagnen der Serie und einen soliden Multiplayer, mit ein paar netten Neuerungen. Die Kampagne wirkt zwar etwas zu Hollywood-Like inszeniert und fällt dieses mal sehr kurz aus, aber ansonsten bietet Battlefield 1 wieder mal ein umfangreiches Gesamtpaket für Shooter-Fans. Auch in Sachen Seaons Pass bleibt noch die Frage offen, ob sich kommende Inhalte wirklich für so einen hohen Aufpreis lohnen werden.

Battlefield 1 goes beyond what we thought was possible to deliver one of the best World War I imaginings in gaming

Many have accused Battlefield 1 of being a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin. I can’t argue with that, but I also can’t get that upset about it either. I love running out of the trenches with a group of teammates, as we charge towards the enemy and get mowed down by turrets and sub-machine guns. If we survive, there’s a good chance we’ll end up choking on mustard gas as we try to claim a control point. I’ve not experienced this in any modern FPS, and it does make a difference, regardless of historical accuracy. And that whistle. Holy crap, that whistle.

Some poor mechanics keep the campaign from being superb, but fans come to the series for its competitive multiplayer. Battlefield 1 is successful in turning back the clock while other franchises are aiming for the future.

The missed opportunities of the of the single-player are the only criticism for a near perfect title that offers exceptional multiplayer, vivid visuals, and solid gameplay.

If you’re looking to buy only one multiplayer FPS this year Battlefield 1 is more than worthy of your hard-earned cash – I honestly can’t envisage anything being better.

Battlefield 1 tackles the horrors of World War 1 in an exceptional, but albeit short, single player campaign while offering some cutting edge multiplayer with its operations mode. It serves as the perfect getaway for newcomers as well as old Battlefield veterans looking for a way to jump back into the series.

The blessing and curse of Battlefield 1 is that it is another well-polished entry in a series that clearly follows a sacred gameplay formula. Fans who have enjoyed the series thus far will find the same enjoyment in this latest entry, and aspects of World War I have clearly been carefully curated and incorporated into the game. However, it does feel that the series is playing things too safe. As good as the multiplayer is, I'm hopeful that future entries will take more risk. In the meantime, Battlefield 1 is another great offering that follows the series' enjoyable gameplay template.

An incredible game that marries beautiful presentation with fluid and fun gameplay. It tells a story set during World War I that feels believable and invokes thought when things go awry. With a reasonably short, but well planned, campaign and endless potential in the multiplayer, there is definitely value if Battlefront is one's preferred big shooter franchise. A thoroughly enjoyable game that takes the formula back toward the depth of the game's predecessors while keeping in the trends of the modern expectations of the genre.

DICE have done it again. As one of the leading developers in the first-person shooter genre, they have deployed you to the frontlines of another war that's truly epic in its scale and detail, this time with World War 1. The setting will provide something old and familiar for those feeling alienated by modern or futuristic shooters, yet it also simultaneously delivers something that doesn't feel stale.

Ultimately, Battlefield 1 goes back to move forward and it's a delight to experience. You'll be hard-pressed to find a video game that dares to throw you into the horrors of a Great War and yet Battlefield 1 feels modern, something one might assume to be oxymoronic considering the setting of 1914-1918. Whilst other FPS games this year and in previous years have switched to jet-packing and wall-running, Battlefield 1 feels like its reinvigorated a genre that I had grown tired of in recent years. By making this risky decision, DICE and EA actually have proven you don't need to go futuristic in-order to reinvigorate a genre. In fact, DOOM as well as Battlefield 1 this year prove to me that sometimes reverting back to the basics can be one of the most refreshing experiences possible.

Going back in time is the reason why Battlefield 1 cut it’s way forward. The game surpassed its predecessors and became one of the best shooting games. The huge change in its core made the better overall, It offers a balanced and engaging story mode that delivers amazing visuals and stunning sound effects. Multiplayer offers various well designed maps, and fun gameplay that keeps entertained for long, especially if you’re playing with friends. This a must-play whether you played previous Battlefields or new to the series.

There’s very little to dislike about Battlefield 1. What the game is at its core is a beautiful-looking and exciting period shooter that will give fans of the series (and those that have been clamouring for a AAA historical FPS) hours of fun.

Battlefield 1 takes the Battlefield franchise to the next level by providing a great single-player campaign alongside a brilliant multi-player that the series is known for. The World War 1 setting is really satisfying and the visuals are just stunning.

The campaign is actually worth experiencing for a change and the multiplayer will no doubt keep fans of the formula coming back for some time. The historical scenario is a refreshing change of pace from far too many other shooters that insist on science fiction settings, rounding out an excellent overall package for FPS fans.
