Verdun Reviews
A brave attempt at creating a more thoughtful shooter hindered by poor execution and messy technique.
Verdun’s goal is an admirable one, to capture the feel of warfare on the Western Front, on occasions it manages to do that and be fun. The rest of the time, it’s an unintuitive slog. It might be a better game on PC, but on PlayStation 4, it’s almost certainly not going to be this year’s most fun or engaging WWI shooter.
Verdun brings multiplayer shooting to World War I in all its glory, as well as the frequent boredom.
Its goals are noble enough, but this low tech shooter takes its realism too seriously – as the drudgery and unfairness of trench warfare is made all too real.
With noble intentions but scrappy delivery, Verdun is a bit of a mess.
