Overall it is an enjoyable experience, with a solid story line some high energy or tense experiences and straightforward enjoyable combat, though it just doesn't feel in the same league as the best in the Call of Duty series.

'Call of Duty: WW2' does an admirable job of attempting to recapture the essence of the series' glory days, but even solid design and implementation can't save this game from its inherent flaws. The campaign is good for an evening or weekend afternoon of entertainment, and as always your mileage may vary with the multiplayer.

Call of Duty: WWII was announced as a return to roots for this franchise and it has reached its goal in achieving that. world war 2 setting has led to a great story campaign and the game has a great zombie mode too. Call of Duty: WWII's main problem is its shallow multiplayer and it's the only thing that prevents the overall experience form being perfect.

Call of Duty: WWII may not be the best in the series, but it does a great job pointing the franchise back toward the light. Nazi Zombies is a blast, the campaign is entertaining, and multiplayer will keep fans coming back for months...and all without those pesky jetpacks.

It aims to tell a story of the brotherhood of soldiers, but it's ill-served by undeveloped characterizations.

Sledgehammer Games went back to the roots, but the best part of the game is the Zombie mode, which really has nothing to do with WWII. A step back from Infinite Warfare, but still a fine game.

Three years ago, Sledgehammer took a bold step forward with Advanced Warfare. Now, in 2017, it's taken a bold step back. Despite some interesting additions like Headquarters and War) Call of Duty: WWII is arguably the most reserved entry we've had in years, but is already proving a hit among fans. There is still that sense of fatigue, however, and if Call of Duty is to soar to the top once again, Treyarch and Infinity Ward will need to change something more than the time period in the coming years.

Call of Duty: WWII is a breath of fresh air for the series. Though it doesn't do anything too over the top, this title delivers. A compelling, narrative driven story spearheads the alright Multiplayer and exciting Zombies mode. A must for any FPS fan or anyone who loves a good story.

Call of Duty WWII plays like high production values were applied to a WWII game checklist. It’s a short blockbuster campaign going through the motions. Maybe that’s all you want.

Call of Duty: WWII my be a step on the right track for the series in terms of listening to The Fan Base and moving away from future wars Bringing back old setting, but sadly Activision did not take enough risks to change Game Basics and has only presented the same key elements of the series but in WWII Setting, however the Multiplayer remains fast and enjoyable especially War Mode, and zombie mode is a fun way to play with friends as well as a cinematic story that monitors many of World war 2 events, but don't expect to find totally different game it's Same Call of Duty after all.

Call of Duty WWII manages to bring the series back to its roots and inject classic Call of Duty gameplay with slick new visuals and intense, atmospheric set pieces. Its new war mode gives the action a much more powerful feeling, and the campaign creates some truly memorable moments. Fans of the classic will be proud.

Sledgehammer Games has delivered a polished experience across all areas of Call of Duty: WWII, showing us exactly what a classic Call of Duty game should look and feel like in 2017. This entry shouldn't disappoint fans, whether their preference is campaign, multiplayer, or zombies

A solid and life-breathing addition to a previously waning franchise, Call of Duty: WWII plies fans with the gameplay the know with enough bells and whistles to please franchise fanatics and newcomers alike, despite not quite reaching the hallowed ground of the series best.

Call of Duty: WWII is the game that the fans of the franchise have been awaiting for a long time. With a perfect graphical presentation, excellent sound effects, a well developed story, a new multiplayer mode and the zombie mode full of action, Call of Duty: WWII arrives to become one of the best FPS of the year.

This is a step backward for the series—and not just chronologically. Skip it.

Call of Duty returns with a game that comes back to its roots in terms of gameplay. The campaign, even though its too short and linear, is very well crafted. The multiplayer and zombies suffer the loot crate fever, but its content is really good. This is an improvement of the saga taking into consideration its recent years.

When looking at the big picture, Call of Duty: WWII is absolutely a fun time. With a multiplayer that includes a ton of unlocks and a new social hub, as well as a zombies mode that features some incredibly intense moments, players could easily get lost spending hours upon hours playing with other people. Aside from the unfortunately short campaign with flat and boring characters, I believe Sledgehammer Games succeeded in bringing the series back to where it started, while at the same time putting their own spin on the Call of Duty franchise to make it relevant for the newer audience.
