An emotional narrative with fast-paced action (Campaign review)

User Rating: 8 | Call of Duty: WWII PC

Pros:

  • Graphics
  • Satisfying kills
  • Mission variety
    • Loved the espionage mission and the dog fighting
  • Really picks up halfway through

Cons:

  • Takes a while before the story gains momentum
    • Characters felt pretty bland at first. They’re emotions and acting didn’t really seem to fit the gravity of the situation. This gets a lot better as the game goes on.
    • They didn't get D-Day completely wrong, it just seemed like the character behavior did not fit in with complete hell of their environment
  • Feels too fast paced for me
    • If they had taken things a little slower, taking more time to build suspense and expand on the narrative and character building, it would’ve taken the game to the next level

Nitpickey:

  • Hit indicator too big
    • It would’ve been better served to just not have an indicator. The sprays of blood alone would be adequate and more immersive
  • Vehicle chase scenes feel unrealistically fast paced for the terrain and vehicles involved
  • Campaign is on the short side

Rating:

  • Story ******** 8/10
  • Gameplay ******* 7/10
  • Atmosphere ******** 8/10
  • Overall ******** 8/10
