Call of Duty: WWII Reviews
Call of Duty World War II is a retread of places the franchise has been before in. If the multiplayer worked it'd score higher, but this is just a broken game and an awful experience right now.
'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 is a return to the franchise's roots, but not in the way many players would like to. The story campaign is good, but there have been better in the series. Still, it's worth to go back on the World War II battlefields.

The Call Of Duty franchise has found it’s way back to earth in the renowned war-based shooter series latest release. Yes, boots are back firmly on the ground as Sledgehammer Games take the reins of the series in Call Of Duty: WWII. As the title states we become reacquainted with the WWII roots that once saw the series prosper and packed into the game we see a heartfelt campaign, the forever popular zombies mode and COD’s famed multiplayer. The developers have ditched the exo-suits, boost jumps and laser weapons for this particular installment and it’s unquestionably done the series a favour in doing so.
The thing is that despite all the achievements, there’s no sign of a true effort to resuscitate this troubled series and all the changes in gameplay seems like a trick to put an end to the endless reproaches. WWII implies to a brighter future for Call of Duty series, but that future hasn’t come yet and with current pace, will not come in near future either.

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.

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.

It's not a bad game by any stretch, but as a whole it's an underwhelming imitation of past glory.
I'm having a hard time with this review, because when the game works, I had a great time. However, with all the current issues, it is tough to advise anyone to pick up this title. If you are a Call Of Duty fan, you might be able to look over these problems, but the average player will want to wait for updates.
All in all, Call of Duty: World War 2 plays like the series' early hits. By no means is this a bad thing, though the overall formula and package is wearing thin.
Call of Duty: WWII has a good but forgettable campaign. It has a fantastic new multiplayer mode surrounded by some mediocre ones. It has an interesting entry to Zombies that squanders its potential. There's a ton of content here, and all of it is good, but none of it really gets above that bar.
Call of Duty: WWII is mediocre. I enjoyed it anyway.
A derivative, middling campaign, good multiplayer, and a ton of content means that Call of Duty: WWII is more Call of Duty - for better and worse.
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.
A solid return to its roots, Call of Duty WWII reminds us what made us all fall in love Call of Duty in the first place. It ticks all the boxes which is both a blessing and a curse. Good fun and worth your time but offers nothing exceptional.
Call of Duty: WW2 is no revolution in the series, and problems with servers week after the release don't help. Nevertheless, it's good to finally stand on the ground and go back to old, fast-paced CoD.

Call of Duty: WW2 is for the most part exactly what you expect it to be. Sledgehammer Games has made a solid entry in an annualised series that rarely disappoints, which treats its subject matter surprisingly well. Its few surprises are to be found mostly in the campaign between the moments of cheap spectacle, when it successfully recaptures exactly why World War 2 shooters were so popular and prevalent over a decade ago. The multiplayer is the simplest definition of an online shooter, with few thrills, but it's essentially exactly what fans have been asking for.
Call of Duty: WWII is a step back into the grounded realism the series has been sorely missing for years. While its single-player campaign isn't anything to write home about, the new additions seen in multiplayer and the return of Nazi Zombies make for a package well worth playing.
Touching base with your origins is necessary to not lose touch with your audience, and that's exactly what Call of Duty: WWII does without simply regressing. It gets to the core of its key modes and seizes on their intrinsic appeal with some neat, little twists thrown in. However, its campaign and zombies modes (while solid) feel unusually safe, whereas the multiplayer suffers from lacklustre map design and technical issues. You could say this Call of Duty is a sign of hopeful action to ground the series once more, but doesn't go beyond its iconic namesake to deliver something truly special.
