Battlefield 1 Reviews
Overall, I still emphasize the fact that for those who expect a Battlefield game, that is exactly what you are given. At its core, it’s a competent shooter from a company that knows what it is doing, but it really should have been so much more. Perhaps shifting eras will be enough for most, but it feels like EA Dice went through the motions here. From the ho-hum campaign to the by-the-numbers multiplayer, it feels like a manufactured product rather than a game that developers poured their hearts and souls into, and that’s a real shame.
Battlefield 1 still offers players something that they can’t find anywhere else and this installment is without doubt the best looking Battlefield game yet. Partnering up with a squad of mates and methodically taking over points on the map truly immerses you in a very dark and gruesome war. Whilst the campaign may be short but sweet, the multiplayer modes are as strong as ever.
Battlefield 1 is an incredible experience, both in the remarkably varied and excellent multiplayer modes, and the meticulously well-crafted and fantastically written War Stories for you to experience.
Battlefield 1 goes beyond what we thought was possible to deliver one of the best World War I imaginings in gaming
Though the Battlefield series is known for its multiplayer, the single-player campaign is executed so well that you may even forget about hopping online
In a genre that is so flooded with big budget titles the only way to stand out is to do something completely different and hope it pays off, and that is exactly what DICE and Battlefield 1 have done.
Battlefield 1 manages to inject new life to the series thanks to great visuals and the best campaign in the franchise in some time while retaining most of the elements that it has traditionally done well such as massive multiplayer confrontations and vehicular combat.
Battlefield 1’s campaign provides an emotional and thought provoking look at the horrors of World War 1, while at the same time providing varied gameplay and an interesting cast of characters to help make this the best Battlefield single-player experience in a long while. The multiplayer remains as strong as ever, providing an action-packed and enthralling experience that provides a welcome evolution to the already successful formula.
That said, it’s an absolutely fantastic game. It shows the courage to break the mold of the established FPS settings, by bringing forth a nearly forgotten era, that comes packed with a lot of charm of its own. On top of that, it does so with tight and impactful gameplay that will keep the fans busy for a long time.
Battlefield 1's campaign is thin as ever, but most will be on board for the multiplayer, which – while simplified compared with recent entries – remains practically peerless when it comes to delivering intense, large-scale battles.
For the graphics and audio junkies out there, Battlefield 1 impresses on nearly all fronts.
Battlefield 1 is the best version of the franchise since the Bad company 2. Despite having the same problems like the narrative and level design, the game succeeds to offer a better experience with the story, and this success is achieved by the enchanted narration and the developer’s creativity. But the best part of the game is in the online multi player mode, which is now at the peak of the well known “battlefield formula”. You don't have to spend all your time in the Conquest mode, because with the revolutionary operations mode and the other interesting modes like the War pigeon, you can enjoy the power of the Battlefield’s multiplayer much more and better than ever.

Battlefield 1 offers a mind-blowing, gorgeously rendered, large-scale raw war experience unlike any other shooter on the market.
Battlefield 1 tackles the horrors of World War 1 in an exceptional, but albeit short, single player campaign while offering some cutting edge multiplayer with its operations mode. It serves as the perfect getaway for newcomers as well as old Battlefield veterans looking for a way to jump back into the series.
World War I is hard material to tackle, but DICE have managed to do it respectably enough. Battlefield 1’s campaign is memorable, and it’s multiplayer, brutal. The latter doesn’t necessarily provide a whole new experience, but a coat of paint from The Great War certainly makes the series feel nice and fresh again.
With open maps and confronting action, Battlefield 1 is a stable, balanced and exhilarating multiplayer shooter.
The campaign is actually worth experiencing for a change and the multiplayer will no doubt keep fans of the formula coming back for some time. The historical scenario is a refreshing change of pace from far too many other shooters that insist on science fiction settings, rounding out an excellent overall package for FPS fans.
If you can look past the shortcomings (length, glitches) and enjoy the awesome experience that comes with Battlefield 1, you’ll find it to be a welcome addition to your library. It’s definitely found a spot in my best-of-year list.
"EA DICE’s bold decision to turn Battlefield 1’s campaign into segmented “War Stories” has massively paid off, with a variety of battles from many countries both captivating, heart wrenching and enthralling at the same time. Uneasy load times aside, Battlefield 1 delivers the greatest single player campaign in series history with a multiplayer element that brilliantly compliments it. "
