Battlefield 1
About
Battlefield 1 is a first-person action shooter set in the historical period of the World War I. Although the game is a part of the Battlefield franchise, it has no references to the previous chapters. Players are able to experience both single and multiplayer mods to get in action and to feel the era better. As a single-player campaign, Battlefield 1 offers 6 storylines (chapters) one following each other. Each consists of several missions and tells a story of a single man in the middle of a global military conflict. Playing for these soldiers and closing the targets introduces new game mechanics to players. Completing these missions gives an opportunity to dive into the history and to examine the warfare of past ages. Multiplayer experience is divided into 9 different game mods spread on 31 historical maps. You can join the dynamic battle alone or in a squad with your friends. Multiplayer allows you to assume different battlefield roles (classes) starting with a medic, support or assault and following to the tank driver, pilot and some elite units.

Battlefield 1 reviews and comments
A very polished WW1 shooter that came out exactly when I needed it.
Final Score: A+
The story was very interesting. I'm not very knowledgeable about the events that took place in WWI (I've always been more interested in WWII), but I can only assume that most of these events were based on actual people and battles that happened during "The Great War". Although each story was extremely short, especially if you just sprint through the entirety, the short time we got to know these characters and the acts of heroism and valor they performed was good enough to make me like them and sad when they died.
The campaign AI and sneaking is very iffy. Just get really good at mad dashing towards people and melee them to death. The enemy NPCs have the wonderful "truesight" where, no matter what kind of noise you make, will attract them straight to you. Even if you throw a grenade 25 yards away, they know where it originated from!
I didn't play the multiplayer because I already know what that's like. I've played every BF game before this one like a crack addict and so I didn't want to return down that path haha!
If you're a fan of the Battlefield series or WWI, I highly recommend checking this out.
