A drab campaign doesn't do the history justice, but Call of Duty: WWII's multiplayer recalls the glory days of Modern Warfare.

The best Call Of Duty for several years, but it still owes too much to the past – and the campaign's attempts at a more serious tone are only half successful.

COD has a few issues in single player this year but the overall package delivers another good shooter with plenty to do and some neat new online ideas.

While the campaign suffers from uninspiring cliches and endless killing fields, the multiplayer options are excellent and bring the series back from the future

Sledgehammer Games superbly takes Activision's marquee shooter franchise back to its boots-on-the-ground roots.

The campaign attempts to bring up the "tough" questions about war, but when you're intermingling those questions with outrageous, comic violence, it comes off as disingenuous.

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

Call of Duty's return to World War II looks great, but feels flat and uninspired from start to finish.

Call of Duty: WWII is a satisfying experience. It is also easily one of the best-looking and feature-packed iterations of the franchise to date. But the cracks are definitely showing, with years of repetition getting ever-harder to disguise. The game will please a huge contingent of its dedicated fanbase, but its reliance on the status quo might be wearying for others.

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 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.

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.

All told, despite the game's flaws and inexcusably rough launch, I've been very happy with it and absolutely recommend it to anyone who's been sitting on the fence. For those of you who haven't touched a Call of Duty game in a while because of the sci-fi stuff, now's a good time to get back into the fray.

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

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

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.
