    A not particularly groundbreaking but enjoyable World War II iteration of the old template. Classified may occasionally feel a bit cheap and outdated, but it manages to surprise with solid gameplay, a few good ideas, and a likable albeit somewhat incomplete emphasis on stealth.

    Although it has a little too much XCOM influences, we have a turn-based strategy in our hands that gives a good World War II atmosphere. It has some shortcomings in some points, but this does not change the fact that Classified France '44 is a good game. Anyone who likes XCOM will find something to enjoy.

    Classified: France '44 is a strong debut from Absolutely Games that's worth a go if you're looking for hours of well-designed turn-based combat, varied missions and encounters, and a highly replayable campaign. However, it doesn't quite hit the potato masher on the head when it comes to exploring its WWII setting and creating a narrative about the human cost of war.

    Classified: France ’44 is a fairly average experience. While it has some unique takes on classic mechanics, the game is overall pretty cookie-cutter of the genre. On top of this, it fails to really excite with its presentation, with ugly models and poor audio design. Fans of WWII history and die-hard turn-based strategy players should still have fun with this title, but it won’t blow anyone away.
