Game
If somehow you’re not captivated by the atmosphere, there is a lot more that Battlefield 1 performs just as well. While the gameplay doesn’t stray too far from previous installments in the series, the controls feel noticeably smoother. The series has always felt cumbersome to control. Racing speeds are slow, guns have realistic kickback, and crossing feels awkward as if you’re a soldier carrying tons of heavy equipment.
Unlike the previous installments, however, the guns are easier to control, the crossing feels smoother and less clunky, all while simulating the same weight as previous games. It feels like a sweet spot amidst the fluidity of the Call of Duty series while retaining the Battlefield roots.
Single player
While multiplayer contains the meat of the game, there is actually a single player component. Even more surprising, the single player mode isn’t too bad! While there is no campaign to speak of ─ something that many modern FPS games lack ─ Battlefield 1 settles for “War Stories” instead.
These are short cartoons that tell stories in different World War I theaters. They are quite short, but they are quite addicting and help showcase the main combat modes of the game. The cartoons actually serve as a good compromise for studios and editors who don’t want to create full-length story modes.
It’s a pity that Battlefield 1 it hasn’t inspired more than these, as opposed to games without any single player functionality.
