Battlefield 1: Revolution

Our analysis

Returning to it years after launch reveals a far more complete and polished experience, with the four DLC expansions fixing the original map and content shortage and taming the absurdly abundant explosives. Solid, weighty gunplay and the excellent Operations mode shine, even if the spread mechanic feels frustratingly random and some maps stay too flat and exposed. Its haunting WWI atmosphere and immersive audio make it one of the most engrossing shooters around, despite not topping Battlefield 4.

Our analysis

The best Battlefield in a decade and a refreshing change thanks to its World War I setting. The campaign is a genuinely engrossing, beautifully presented anthology of short War Stories, and the large-scale Operations mode plus jaw-dropping environmental destruction make multiplayer a blast. It is dragged down by a broken spawn system and overpowered rank-locked weapons that undercut the balance, but overall it earns a recommendation.
