"Battlefield 1 is a must-play for any fans of the Battlefield franchise or first-person shooters."
Battlefield 1 is one of the best titles in the history of the franchise, and it is one of my personal favourites; however, I cannot understand why the gaming community gave it a pass when it comes to selling weapon unlocks for real-world currency, allowing players to bypass around 150 hours of grinding and gain an unfair competitive advantage,
Example Microtransactions.
The Infantry Bundle ($29.99): Unlocks all primary weapons, sidearms, and gadgets earned for all four infantry classes in addition to progression-based melee weapons, sidearms, and grenades that are not tied to any specific class.
The Vehicle Bundle ($14.99): Unlocks all vehicle packages and primary weapons earned for Pilot and Tanker classes in Battlefield™ 1 multiplayer.
While these weapons are no better or in any way different to those unlocked via gameplay, the fact that players can access the best weapons and items without earning them is surely the very definition of pay-2-win.
I am amazed that DICE was not called out on this, especially considering the massive outcry when Star Wars Battlefront 2 did something similar but far less egregious.
Pay-2-win issues asides, Battlefield 1 is one of the greatest games of the 8th generation. Frankly, there is nothing else like it on the market that combines stunning visuals, engaging gameplay and a huge amount of content with iconic maps and locations that are viewed by many as being some of the best first-person shooter locales in recent memory.
From close-quarters battles throughout the trenches of Europe to hit-and-run attacks across the sandy dunes of the Middle East, each location, faction, and weapon feels and looks amazing, and I would not feel disappointed to see more titles released like it in the 9th generation.

Battlefield 1 is an iconic first-person shooter, and in the eye of many, is viewed as one of the high points of 8th-generation gaming; while it does lack 9th-generation enhancements such as a 120 FPS performance mode, it still feels fantastic to play, and honestly, reviewing it makes me want to play again, and I will most likely do so a fair deal over the coming winter.
We found Battlefield 1 to be a great game, meaning it delivers a memorable experience with only minor imperfections that don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
"Shadow Warrior 3 is tedious, vulgar, unimaginative, and frankly, the franchise needs to grow up and start releasing titles with more to offer than fart jokes, innuendo, and offensive racial stereotypes, or disappear entirely."
"Call of Duty Vanguard, despite its mixed reception, was the best shooter we received in 2021, offering a standard of quality and quantity that neither Battlefield 2042 or Halo Infinite were able to match. "
"And just like that, after over 8 years of ups and downs, Paladins bows out as Marvel Rivals overtakes Overwatch 2 to rule the genre."
