Battlefield 5 Reviews Roundup

<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/battlefield-v/">Battlefield V</a> is now going live for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5-now-live-for-some-xbox-one-and-pc-pl/1100-6463161/">subscribers to EA or Origin Access</a>, after a long wait punctuated by a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5-has-been-delayed-new-release-date-co/1100-6461490/">last-minute delay</a>. This one takes the series back to the iconic setting of World War 2, but does a return to the Greatest Generation make for a great game?</p><p>While reviews are starting to roll in, some sites are publishing early impressions or reviews-in-progress, including GameSpot. And in a year when Battlefield's major competitor, Call of Duty, has eschewed a single-player campaign, the presence of one in Battlefield V seems to be standing out. The consensus agrees that the package as shipped already has a lot to explore thanks to the campaign and multiplayer, even knowing more is on the way. Its battle royale mode <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5s-firestorm-battle-royale-mode-coming/1100-6462758/">Firestorm is coming next year</a>, and DICE has built a reputation for long-term support.</p><p dir="ltr">GameSpot's <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5-early-review-impressions/1100-6463147/">Battlefield V early impressions</a> found it maintained the scale we've come to expect from a Battlefield game. "There's a lot more to dig into, like the fortification system, squad reinforcements perks, and how destruction may change map dynamics, and spending more time with the game will paint a better picture," wrote critic Michael Higham. "At the end of the day, it's still Battlefield, and Battlefield V is shaping up to be a good one at that."</p><p dir="ltr">Read on for more reviews from around the industry, or check GameSpot sister site <a href="https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/battlefield-v/critic-reviews">Metacritic</a> for more reviews.</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><strong>Game:</strong> Battlefield V</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Platforms:</strong> PC, PS4, Xbox One</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Developer / publisher:</strong> DICE / Activision</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Release date:</strong> Out now (limited) / Wide release November 20</li><li dir="ltr"><strong>Price:</strong> US $60 / £50 / AU $69</li></ul><h2>GameSpot -- No Score</h2><p>"As of now, it feels as if Battlefield V is a variation on a well-established theme. It maintains the series tradition of grand spectacle with incredible sound design, impactful weaponry, and large-scale multiplayer chaos." -- <em>Michael Higham</em> [<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5-early-review-impressions/1100-6463147/">Full review</a>]</p><h2>Gaming Trend -- 9/10</h2><p>"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." -- <em>Ron Burke</em> [<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-5-early-review-impressions/1100-6463147/">Full review</a>]</p><h2>PC Games N -- 9/10</h2><p>"Battlefield V delivers the series' finest single-player campaign yet, painting the horror of war from rarely seen perspectives. That tension carries through to the multiplayer, which has been tuned to hammer home your vulnerability in a firefight." -- <em>James McMahon</em> [<a href="https://www.pcgamesn.com/battlefield-v-pc-review">Full review</a>]</p><h2>CG Magazine -- 8/10</h2><p>"Despite the bad press at the start, I have a lot of faith in DICE as a developer and they have delivered a fantastic shooter this year with Battlefield V after listening to their community and taking their feedback seriously." -- <em>Cole Watson</em> [<a href="https://www.cgmagonline.com/reviews/battlefield-v-pc-review/">Full review</a>]</p><h2>Digital Trends -- 6/10</h2><p>"Battlefield V is a fine World War II shooter and it has the potential to turn into a great one with a few updates and the addition of its post-launch modes, but with Black Ops 4 providing such a rich and engaging competitive experience and last year's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus offering a better (and more upfront) Nazi-shooting campaign, there's little reason for this game to be your first choice. That's partially a testament to the strength of its competition, but Battlefield V fails to impress the same way Battlefield 1 did. By all means, give it a try if you're a fan of DICE’s previous work, but know that you'll have to put up with some pretty glaring faults." -- <em>Gabe Gurwin</em> [<a href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/game-reviews/battlefield-v-review/">Full review</a>]</p>
