    The undefined villains might not matter so much if we at least felt more of a connection to the game’s heroes or the peril of their situations. But Battlefield 6 so badly wants to show off its visual splendor that it keeps you at a distance from both.

    Battlefield 6 gives the series' fans the big battle experiences they've been wanting, though it doesn't offer too many unique advantages in small-team firefight modes over rival military shooters.

    Battlefield 6 marks a strong comeback for the shooter series, and its weak campaign can only slightly dampen the excitement. [Review in Progress]

    At nine missions and just five hours, Battlefield 6’s campaign’s flame doesn’t burn for long, and it doesn’t burn particularly bright in that time, either. It’s a staggering spectacle to behold at times, and a treat for the ears at others, but when it comes to mission design and an engaging plot, it fails to deliver at all. A quick afternoon of fun, it's a safe reimagining of what Battlefield once was, but far from a bold reinvention of what it could, and maybe should, be now. [Campaign review score = 50]
