Tyler Wilde of PC Gamer writes, “So far I’ve found only rare moments of silliness in Battlefield 5. I didn’t think or expect that returning to World War 2 would also mean a return to the open sightlines and relaxing swims of BF1942, though I’m a little disappointed that the trend away from it hasn’t slowed at all. Where that game felt like a toyboxnot a war, but a playground with war stuff in itmodern Battlefield is evermore like a Hollywood effects movie that delights at chaos, and only slows down for closeups of bloodied, groaning bodies to assure us that it is serious. I do look forward to the plane trick compilations, at least.”
