Call of Duty: WWII Reviews
Call of Duty WWII is a really neat package. The campaign, even if still too predictable, is powerful and enjoyable (while it lasts). Headquarters and War Mode gave a new coat of paint to the PvP and Nazi Zombies is a tough and deep experience.

World War II was the right move. Call of Duty reaches back to its roots to bring players an entry worthy of the series' namesake. The campaign is emotional, multiplayer is classic, and Nazi Zombies is downright dark and terrifying. No matter which kind of player you are, there is something for everyone, whether it's a cinematic story, a competitive and social multiplayer, or an immensely difficult battle against undead Nazis. Call of Duty: WWII is another incredible package of experiences, each distinct from the others, but tied together by the unifying themes of World War II that deserve your attention.
Call of Duty WWII is in the middle of an identity crisis, but by going back to its roots, it has created slower and more tactical gameplay that is much more fun to play than the wall running and double jumping from the last few installments.

Given how bad it could have been – hell, was expected to be – it's quite the pleasant, sometimes harrowing, surprise.
Call of Duty: WW2 is competently made by a skilled team. I just wish some of that talent and skill could be put towards anything other than this yearly pile of linear shooting rehash. The game runs well and is very playable, so things aren't all that bad, they just feel soulless. All I could think of while playing is how I would rather be killing Nazis in Wolfenstein 2. 5/10 sad violin interludes
COD WWII is a great chapter for the brand: solid gameplay and intense, dramatic single player campain. War Mode is a great add and, in general, the game is well developed.

Back to the roots. Call of Duty: WWII is a great WW2 FPS that uses a lot of old school mechanics.

WWII stays in the thin line between classic and outdated. We love some additions such as headquarters and war mode, and its solid technical aspect, but campaign feels linear and too similar to previous entries.

Call of Duty WWII is a real success and the franchise's return to its roots can only be acclaimed. The campaign does justice to both the Second World War and D-Day. The multiplayer, while packed with good ideas, lacks the ambition seen and felt in the campaign. Call of Duty WWII offers the best CoD single player campaign seen in quite some time and multiplayer modes that are fun even if a bit underwhelming. Overall, it's mission accomplished for Sledgehammer.

A new direction for the series that manages to satisfy long-term fans, while also being a great package combining single-player campaign, zombie mode and multiplayer. This one feels closer to a remix than a new game, but undoubtly is a return to form.

WWII is exactly what the Call of Duty series needed: Sledgehammer Games probably maked the best game in the series since Black Ops 2. It's a solid and spectacular shooter, but It's also a game characterized by a naif narration and a bad AI. Despite all, WWII is a very satisfyng episode, and a new beginning for the saga.

Call Of Duty finally returns to Earth (and the series roots) with a satisfying tale of brotherhood and courage while invading Nazi Europe.
It's been a few years since a Call of Duty this good. The single player campaign is strong, spectacular and gripping (but it could have dared a little bit more); the new War and Headquarters modes are a welcome addition to the series that will please newcomers as well as fans of the series, and the Zombie mode is funnier than ever.

Call of Duty: WWII is a refreshing experience from the modern and futuristic settings of recently past Call of Duty games. It tells a more personal tale of how soldiers during World War 2 attempted to come to grips with the horrors they endured and found the fortitude to walk each step.
In general we can say that we were in front of a complete, new and well-studied title. Of course we are not in front of a war simulator, it is clear, but COD is not born for this purpose. It wants to be an arcade game and in this it manages quite well. Moreover, thanks to the introductions of modes such as War, or spaces like the Headquarters, the title also tries to renew itself a bit, trying to get rich with new contents. In short, a game that finally manages to meet the needs of the veterans of the saga who needed to leave the futuristic, to return with their feet on the ground. A title for everyone, who will know how to be loved by the supporters of the saga and that, perhaps, will also be able to be appreciated by those who are looking for a historic FPS arcade.

A drab campaign doesn't do the history justice, but Call of Duty: WWII's multiplayer recalls the glory days of Modern Warfare.
Sledgehammer Games superbly takes Activision's marquee shooter franchise back to its boots-on-the-ground roots.
There's no denying it's safe across the board, but that safe mix of new meets old is what makes WWII a great Call of Duty game.
As a whole package, Call of Duty: WWII has a little something for everyone to enjoy, but that has been the story of this series for a long time. No, this homecoming is far, far better than the sum of its parts, a true return to form in practically every respect. It feels alien to be looking back on a new Call of Duty release as anything other than enjoyable yet unremarkable triple-A fare, but here we are. Call of Duty: WWII delivers on all fronts: compelling and heartfelt in its storytelling; imposing in its sense of scale and spectacle; and unremittingly addictive in its gunplay.
