Putting multiplayer aside for one second, however, it’s hard to deny that the team behind Battlefield 1’s campaign did a fine job of conveying the themes of World War 1 we’re so familiar with - hope, tragedy, heroism, grief - in a manner well suited to the advantages of the medium. Then there’s multiplayer, which turns the WW1 setting into an arena for digital sport. One the one hand, you have a sombre campaign which sincerely delves into the human cost of war.
Where you can play it: PS4, Xbox One and PC.īattlefield 1 is a game of two disparate parts.
Everyone looks to each other in a state of nervous suspense and paranoid accusation.What it is: A first-person shooter and the latest title in DICE's Battlefield franchise, this time set in World War One.
