Battlefield V Reviews
Battlefield V offers a compelling single-player and multiplayer package, although it's not the complete reinvention that you may have hoped for.
Buoyed by compelling multiplayer modes, Battlefield V is a gripping first-person shooter that re-creates the intensity and anxiety of war better than its competitors.

EA DICE's latest shooter may be a bit rough around the edges, but it's also a grand and respectful foray back to the franchise's WWII roots
Battlefield V combines exciting multiplayer action with jaw-dropping visuals and superb audio design, but it's hurt by bugs and a lackluster single player campaign.
After spending quite a while with the game, I'm blown away that there's still so much to discover. With dozens of collectibles to find in the single player campaign, a seemingly-unlimited number of weekly challenges, and the Tides of War looming large on the horizon, Battlefield V is the best this series has ever been, and easily the best FPS of the season.
This technical tour de force throws you into realistic second world war battles – shame it felt only 70-80% finished at launch
The lack of polish in some of the systems will get improved with patches, but the missed opportunities with the campaign content frustrate the full package. But ultimately, this is one of the best multiplayer shooters you will play this year, and maybe the best until the next Battlefield. So if you love competitive FPS games, yes, you have to buy this.
Battlefield 5 is without doubt one of the most perplexing video game releases of recent years.
This is a Battlefield experience through and through. However, I find myself staring more at the gaps in the menus than the accessible parts that are there. The promise of future content is a great thing, but not when you are constantly reminded of the voids it will fill. Fans will love this entry, and rightfully so, but in its current form Battlefield V won't be recruiting any new soldiers to this battle.
Battlefield V was a nice return for me.
As one of the best looking FPS on the market, nothing else can compete with the destruction and visual assault of Battlefield V. However, this great war stands incomplete with many features not yet available at launch.
At best this is the new reality of game service models. At worst EA rushed the game out in time for the holidays. Thankfully, even as some features are conspicuously absent, nothing else in Battlefield V feels rushed. It's a smooth experience, offering yet another audiovisual master class, and regularly delivers a true sense of spectacle in a way that other console shooters simply can't match.
With all its cons and shortcomings, Battlefield V turned out to be better than we expected. Multiplayer is much more interesting than what was in Battlefield 1 and last two Battlefront games, but the story is really weak. V still looks like a project that was released at least six months earlier than originally planned. We wanted more content from the start.

Boasting breathtaking spectacle and some of the most refined series multiplayer to date, Battlefield V's missing features prevent EA's latest from soaring to the heights that it deserves to. Nonetheless, DICE's latest shooter effort both maintains and enhances the series essence to stake its claim as one of the better FPS titles available on PS4.
Battlefield V is going to be a great game, of that we're sure, but due to a number of glaring omissions at launch and one too many glitches, the final product isn't there just yet. Series veterans are sure to feel at home with what's on offer now, though, thanks to a solid multiplayer offering that sticks to the tried and true nature of what makes Battlefield tick.
The most visually stunning FPS game on the market right now with a thoroughly engaging multiplayer. Sadly, it still remains incomplete.
The well designed maps, engaging approach to single player and wealth of progression and customisation options mean that even hardcore players will be satisfied. For fans of the series, this comes highly recommended.
If DICE is telling the truth and Battlefield V develops into a long-term, always evolving online game, fans are in for a treat. The bones of BFV are robust. It looks outstanding, plays great, and the stories of World War 2 are a constant draw for history fans. There are rough patches for the time being, but if those get smoothed out and the content pipeline remains full, Battlefield V stands to have a very, very long shelf life with shooter fans.
