Battlefield V Reviews
A Surprisingly Bland Entry For The Popular FPS Franchise
Battlefield V is the most fun I’ve had on a Battlefield game since the wonderful Battlefield: Bad Company series. After the initial frustration of adjusting to a different game after 2 years of Battlefield 1, it quickly became addictive, enjoyable chaos.
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.
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.
If you're looking for a fun military shooter with a decent single-player campaign, you're better off checking out past Battlefield or Call of Duty games.
Battlefield V reconfirms its usual and granitic certainty in multiplayer, while the single player campaign fails to strike as we would have hoped.

The campaign war stories did feel a bit too generic, but there’s not much that can be said and told in these stories. There were some gameplay moments that felt a bit weird, in that I would take shoot guards out with an assault rifle and not far from those guards are a couple of others, casually chilling. Meanwhile, if you are stealthing throughout the map and haven’t fired a bullet, the moment you are seen, every guard will fire at your location. Though stealth is suggested and you are given means to do so, it provided no real benefits to do so. I did one part in stealth and realized I didn’t unlock anything. Next, I ran through with guns blazing and similar to stealth, didn’t unlock anything. I saved a lot of time, so there’s a perk at least. It’s a decent playthrough, regardless of some issues with it.

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.
Battlefield V demands a significant time investment match-to-match, but the intensity of its large-scale battles can be palpable
In many ways it feels too early to judge Battlefield V, and the game doesn't feel quite as substantial as it needs to. But the foundation is strong, and upcoming free content releases should add a lot of depth to the title.
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.

Battlefield 5 is a solid entry in the storied franchise but lacks a certain flair present in previous titles.
Battlefield V is a grand and addictive shooter with some smart ideas for improving gunplay and team dynamics, but at launch it has too many technical issues and holes in its content to excel.
Battlefield V delivers exactly what you can expect from that kind of game, namely a good multiplayer improved from the previous Battlefield games. This is the war that fans will enjoy.

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.
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.
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.
An expertly crafted shooter with worthwhile narrative endeavours, that's a little too light on content for the time being
Multiplayer modes are really fun, but Battlefield V doesn't feels like a complete game. It simply wasn't ready to be released, which is obvious when you look at the main menu with locked content, or the amount of bugs and other stuff like unbalanced progression system.
