    At its best it's a game of tactics for even the most casual player. [Issue#314, p.112]

    This is another fun, fleeting, exceptionally good-looking Call of Duty game, but its World War II theme doesn't add much besides bringing some of its mechanics back down to Earth.

    This feels like the most wheel-spinning, by-the-numbers Call of Duty they've made thus far.

    I was actually quite a fan of Infinite Warfare and I found it to be a pleasant change in the Call of Duty series, but at times I must admitI was actually quite a fan of Infinite Warfare and I found it to be a pleasant change in the Call of Duty series, but at times I must admit that it did miss a certain something. Thankfully Call of Duty: WWII brings that certain something back to the series and I must admit that this is one of the best Call of Duty’s I’ve played in years. The boots on ground combat is back and it’s addictive as ever and the main reason for that is because it’s exciting throughout. Another reason why it’s so enjoyable is because of the improved gunplay, which I found to be more precise and responsive than it was in Infinite Warfare. Without a doubt this game is packed to the brim with content and they’ve even included some new modes, which by the way are brilliant and a great addition to the franchise. Multiplayer also has a lot of content and once again it’s addictive as ever, and the best thing is that I’ve suffered with no problems online to date. If you’re not a massive fan of multiplayer then you will be pleased to know that the game offers you a very good single player campaign. The campaign has been done really well and it really gives you an insight into some of the events that happened in WWII, I will say however that I would have liked a bit more variety when it came to the missions. The presentation side of the game is absolutely fantastic. Visually the game looks superb the whole way through and the voice actors really made the game even more of an immersive and enjoyable experience. At the end of the day fans of the Call of Duty series will be extremely pleased with the new addition to the genre, and I must applaud the amount of effort that has gone into Call of Duty: WWII. Without a doubt it’s clear that the developers/publishers have listened to fans of the series and tried to improve every key area, and the best thing is that these improvements have created one of the best Call of Duty game’s in years. Call of Duty: WWII has in my opinion made the series relevant again and I can’t recommend it enough.… Full Review »

    This game is not a true return to the glory days of Call of Duty like everyone said it would be. Setting it during WW2 didn't really do muchThis game is not a true return to the glory days of Call of Duty like everyone said it would be. Setting it during WW2 didn't really do much since it feels exactly like the last few CoD games. Micro-transactions and loot boxes never existed during CoD's true glory days, yet they play a huge role in this entry.

    There is a Destiny style social space that makes no sense. There's no benefit to having this feature apart from showing off to everyone what you get from loot boxes. This allows Activision to bank on other players jealousy and sell even more loot boxes.

    The historical inaccuracies are really insulting too. Red dot sights and hollow sights did not exist during WW2, soldiers weren't allowed to wear colorful uniforms yet this game allows you to buy weird skins that dont fit warfare or even the time period, AND WHY ARE THERE BLACK NAZIS? This is insulting to black people. Nazis were openly racist and I wouldn't want to dress up as someone who committed major atrocities against my race.

    Swastikas are censored BTW. And you can play as female soldiers just as easily as male ones. SJWs have hit the gaming industry really hard.

    Not gonna talk about zombies cause I'm tired of shooting zombies. ENOUGH ZOMBIES.

    Campaign has a very good story and characters are interesting, but its too short. 6 hours is too little and this game was clearly developed multiplayer first with single-player as an afterthought. I won't be surprised when the day comes that CoD ships without a single player campaign.

    DONT BUY THIS. LETS CHANGE THE INDUSTRY WE LOVE. VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET.    … Full Review »

Tried many times. Game has many many problems. I gave it 2/10, because the cinematic is pretty cool. Gameplay is **** in campaign. 80% of the time you can barely see the enemy you're killing(so what's the point?). The other 20% they run up and kill you without you seeing them. One shot. The entire game you're squinting down an iron sight killing enemies you can barely see. It's like the most beautiful cinematic piece of **** phone app game. I don't know about multiplayer because I can't join. But judging from campaign, it's **** I've yet to see a good Activision game, personally, not sure how they keep getting contracts to create games. Sledgehammer, what, has a b or c rated xbox original game that hardly anyone plays? The gameplay is **** the story is way oversold by the company and it's bought for critics. They make it out to be like some Private Ryan movie, not even close. It's just another video game story with some cool cinematic scenes in between garbage gameplay. This was the first game I ever pre-bought, and the last. I'm a big call of duty fan, missed the last couple, all advanced stuff, but **** off. This is not some groundbreaking new stuff they claimed it to be. It's the same old garbage.… Full Review »
