7.9/10

Andy Kelly (PC Gamer)

Despite changes such as fortifications, more physical character movement, and an increased focus on squads, it still scratches that distinctive FPS itch that Battlefield always has. It’s not a massive, dramatic reinvention of the series, but I wasn’t expecting that anyway.

Not as drastic a change up as its WW1 predecessor, nor as wild or wondrous, Battlefield 5’s deliberative design sidelines its strengths as a simulative sandbox.

Battlefield V is a grand and addictive shooter with some smart ideas for improving gunplay and team dynamics, but at launch it has too many technical issues and holes in its content to excel.

3DNews	Алексей Лихачев	6 / 10	11-20-2018	Multiplayer modes are really fun, but Battlefield V doesn’t feels like a complete game. It simply wasn’t ready to be released, which is obvious when you look at the main menu with locked content, or the amount of bugs and other stuff like unbalanced progression system.	Read review
Areajugones	Josep Carceller	9 / 10	11-10-2018	Battlefield V achieves a full immersion within the WWII phenomenon due to a magnificent storyline and some excellent general details. The multiplayer meets all of the expectations and in the end the franchise manages to stay as a reference in the FPS genre.	Read review
Atomix	Rodrigo Martínez	85 / 100	11-12-2018	Battlefield V is a good FPS that invites to review everything related to the Second World War. The slight changes in their game dynamics make it much more fun than before, however, the design of their maps and even their characters is less bright than in their previous game. Including a campaign mode is something that many of us greatly appreciate, but it feels repetitive and, although its narrative is good, I do not think it stays in the hearts of the players. Although in general its sound and visuals are impressive, it has some scratches in its programming that take part of its brightness to one of the most striking sections of the game.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	William Schwartz	4 / 5 stars	11-13-2018	Battlefield V ultimately feels like a lateral release with little pushing the franchise forward when you judge it by what’s here and not what may or may not come.	Read review
AusGamers	nachosjustice	9 / 10	11-09-2018	If you’re a Battlefield fan who didn’t like the times when DICE has played it safe in the past, Battlefield V is for you. I’m one of those people, and I cannot wait to jump into epic play sessions of what could quickly become my favourite Battlefield game, more so now that the community won’t be divided with future content.	Read review
BaziCenter	Sina Golab Zade	8 / 10	11-19-2018	Battlefield V is exactly what you expect from a Battlefield title, and nothing more. A mediocre single-player campaign, mixed with a solid multiplayer and superior visuals and sound design. But the problem is that there’s no notable improvements from the previous version, and the game is buggy and incomplete. Maybe future updates and DLCs will solve everything, but at its current state, Battlefield V is just another Battlefield title.	Read review
Bazimag	Fardin Bagherian	8 / 10	12-11-2018	Maybe at first glance you conceive Battlefield V as an incomplete copy of Battlefield 1 but be sure that after experiencing it, your opinion will be completely different. It is clear that DICE tried its best to change the game from its roots and the result has been affirmative. these changes while being enjoyable, have added a specific difficulty to the game that makes Battlefield V more epic and thrilling. But on the other side, the hurry to release the game sooner has damaged its body of content, we have a game that is incomplete but given DICE’s recognition we hope it will be resolved in the future. Single player campaign of the game is not that satisfying but it can entertain you for 2 or 3 hours. if you are a fan of Battlefield series and prefer epic battles over anything else, Battlefield V won’t disappoint you gameplay-wise; and at the moment if you are not happy with its lack of content, my suggestion is to get the game in the next few months.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Gabriel Bogdan	7.5 / 10	11-18-2018	Battlefield V is in its current state not recommendable and a big step back for the series. The Singleplayer and Multiplayer deliver less and less content and feel more and more unfinished. The Gunplay is a lot better than in Battlefield 1 and even the short War Stories deliver some great new insights for the series and into WW2 but we can’t recommend getting this game in it’s current state. The content at the moment will dissapoint newcomers and long-time fans of the series.	Read review
CGMagazine	Cole Watson	8 / 10	11-08-2018	Despite the bad press at the start, I have a lot of faith in Dice as a developer and they have delivered a fantastic shooter this year with Battlefield V after listening to their community and taking their feedback seriously	Read review
Cheat Code Central	Sean Engemann	4.2 / 5 stars	11-13-2018	It has enough content to keep you occupied, possesses a decent progression system that keeps you invested, and will receive free future DLC without a whiff of loot crates or microtransactions. However, it follows an expected blueprint that may quickly grow stale for players looking for a fresh FPS experience.	Read review
COGconnected	Paul Sullivan	80 / 100	11-14-2018	Quote not yet availableIf DICE is telling the truth and Battlefield V develops into a long-term, always evolving online game, fans are in for a treat. The bones of BFV are robust. It looks outstanding, plays great, and the stories of World War 2 are a constant draw for history fans. There are rough patches for the time being, but if those get smoothed out and the content pipeline remains full, Battlefield V stands to have a very, very long shelf life with shooter fans.	Read review
Critical Hit	Kervyn Cloete	8 / 10	11-19-2018	Battlefield V is not the revolutionary title DICE initially started out to create, and there are also some annoying technical kinks that should have been ironed out by now. Despite these drawbacks though, Battlefield V offers some of the most rewarding, visceral WWII action in any game out there thanks to genius little tweaks to gameplay and immersion, all produced with an audio-visual technical mastery that is second to none. With its free live-service component as well, the future for the franchise looks very good.	Read review
Cubed3	Gareth Fidler	8 / 10	11-25-2018	Even in its current state, Battlefield V succeeds in delivering that familiar, core experience in spite of missing some content, and while the thought of an incomplete game might deter some from pulling the trigger on a purchase, those eager to enlist will still find plenty to keep them occupied. Sure, it can occasionally be a bit rough around the edges, but this doesn’t stop those epic ‘wow’ moments from coming thick and fast. Gorgeous visuals; incredible sound design; unprecedented levels of destruction	Read review
Daily Dot	AJ Moser	3 / 5 stars	11-14-2018	As it stands now, Battlefield V is a beautiful depiction of an ugly war that offers only a few fleeting chances to reflect on what it meant.	Read review
Daily Mirror	Matt Osborn	4 / 5 stars	11-15-2018	The well designed maps, engaging approach to single player and wealth of progression and customisation options mean that even hardcore players will be satisfied. For fans of the series, this comes highly recommended.	Read review
Daily Star	Jim Hargreaves	3 / 5 stars	11-24-2018	A Surprisingly Bland Entry For The Popular FPS Franchise	Read review
Destructoid	Jordan Devore	8 / 10	11-13-2018	While I’m happy with what we got, I ultimately can’t help but wonder what another six months could’ve done for Battlefield V. In a business with virtually no downtime, that’s just the way it is.	Read review
Digiato	Pedram Bahadori	75 / 100	12-01-2018	Battlefield V is good sequel and quite proper competitor for Black Ops 4. There is great chance for the game to get better by time as its most important flaws are lack of content and solvable technical issues. But at the end, it all comes back to the devs and their support.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Nathaniel Stevens	9 / 10	11-08-2017	Battlefield V is full of a lot more content than people might be expecting. War Stories contains meaningful experiences in short spurts, the maps in the game are huge and well designed, the modes of play raise the entertainment bar when compared to Battlefield I, and the customization/progression system will keep people occupied for a while, as well as provide motivation to keep playing. This feels like a Battlefield game, which should tame concerns of lack of launch content.	Read review
Digital Trends	Gabe Gurwin	3 / 5 stars	11-13-2018	‘Battlefield V’ struggles to pass the high bar set by its predecessor.	Read review
DualShockers	Logan Moore	7.5 / 10	11-20-2018	I trust DICE, I think they’re a great developer, and I have no doubt that six months from now when all of the promised content for Battlefield 5 has finally made its way into the game that this will be one of the best multiplayer shooters on the market. But at this moment, it simply feels like more of what we’ve already seen before with some slight tweaks that only series veterans will truly appreciate.	Read review
Easy Allies	Michael Huber	4 / 5 stars	11-30-2018	Battlefield V makes meaningful changes that emphasize teamwork more than ever.	Read review
EGM	Michael Goroff	8.5 / 10	11-15-2018	Not available	Read review
Eurogamer	Martin Robinson	Recommended	11-15-2018	A strong if slim shooter that lays down strong foundations for the future, while feeling a little unfinished.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Tommaso Montagnoli	8.5 / 10	11-12-2018	After two years, Battlefield is back, and we can say that this is certainly one of his best incarnations.	Read review
Flickering Myth	Andy Naylor	8 / 10	11-24-2018	Battlefield V is the most fun I’ve had on a Battlefield game since the wonderful Battlefield: Bad Company series. After the initial frustration of adjusting to a different game after 2 years of Battlefield 1, it quickly became addictive, enjoyable chaos.	Read review
Game Informer	Matt Bertz	8 / 10	11-16-2018	Battlefield V is a good, if safe game that feels more iterative than innovative. Its legacy will likely be defined by how steady and interesting the stream of new content is moving forward	Read review
Game Rant	Dalton Cooper	3.5 / 5 stars	11-20-2018	Battlefield V combines exciting multiplayer action with jaw-dropping visuals and superb audio design, but it’s hurt by bugs and a lackluster single player campaign.	Read review
Game Revolution	Bradley Russell	2.5 / 5 stars	11-26-2018	But, then, that’s Battlefield all over – a game that aspires to be both a legitimate portrayal of war and an entertaining video game, but opts to take the easy route and do rid with any semblance of mature, balanced storytelling and instead replaces it with a rushed, disjointed campaign and a multiplayer component that’s getting seriously long in the tooth.	Read review
Game Volt	Mohamed Ashmawy	7.7 / 10	11-19-2018	Battlefield V is a step in the right direction with a number of great features. The most important of them is to restore the spirit of cooperative play and enthusiasm to Multiplayer as well as impressive map design. I hope that DICE will save this game so this series can not be treated like this	Read review
Gameblog	Camille Allard	8 / 10	11-08-2018	Battlefield V is a good surprise with a new teamplay system (support by intelligent heal mecanics), more destruction, customization and specialization system for weapons and vehicles. Definitively Battlefield V is a monumental shooter desptite a conventional singleplayer (who stay interesting).	Read review
GameCrate	Nicholas Scibetta	7.8 / 10	11-21-2018	In many ways it feels too early to judge Battlefield V, and the game doesn’t feel quite as substantial as it needs to. But the foundation is strong, and upcoming free content releases should add a lot of depth to the title.	Read review
Gamefa	Mehdi Reazaei	7.5 / 10	11-28-2018	If you are fan of Any kind of Fps shooters, then you should absolutely play online sections of battlefield V. It’s a lot better than previous installment of series and is one of the best online multiplayer in this generation. Also If you deal with terrible AI and camera issues you can enjoy its single player campaign to see women’s vital role in world war 2.	Read review
GameGrin	Ethan Butterfield	8 / 10	12-11-2018	Despite the obvious cash-grab ‘Firestorm’ mode and the inevitable day one glitches that’ll need to be patched out, Battlefield V does a wonderful job at making a game players won’t soon forget (at least until the next one comes out). With interesting modes like ‘Grand Operations’, ‘Frontlines’, and the always classic ‘Conquest’, coupled with the heartfelt campaign’s the game as to offer, Battlefield V is definitely worth checking out.	Read review
GameMAG	CAH4E3	7 / 10	11-21-2018	With all its cons and shortcomings, Battlefield V turned out to be better than we expected. Multiplayer is much more interesting than what was in Battlefield 1 and last two Battlefront games, but the story is really weak. V still looks like a project that was released at least six months earlier than originally planned. We wanted more content from the start.	Read review
GamePro	Tobias Veltin	87 / 100	11-19-2018	Battlefield 5 is an excellent multiplayer spectacle, only the moderate solo component spoils the overall impression.	Read review
Gamersky	不倒翁蜀黍	7.7 / 10	11-13-2018	It’s undeniable that Battlefield 5 is solid and the squad system is greatly improved. However, because of the absent of the Firestorm and Combined Arms, the gameplay doesn’t show much difference compared with its prequels while the Grand Operations mode which is the only new mode in BF5 at this time is dull and full of flaws.	Read review
GameSkinny	John Schutt	7 / 10	11-21-2018	Battlefield 5 is a solid entry in the storied franchise but lacks a certain flair present in previous titles.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	8 / 10	11-19-2018	As it currently stands, Battlefield V doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary, but it’s atmospheric, tense and wildy entertaining. Buy it for its online offerings but not for its single player campaign, which is the weakest aspect of this release. Though whether or not you buy Battlefield V now or when it’s more feature complete is up to you.	Read review
GameSpot	Michael Higham	8 / 10	11-20-2018	It’s a fine execution of a familiar formula. There are rough spots, but Battlefield V incorporates small, effective tweaks and truly shines in the more focused objective-based modes.	Read review
GamesRadar+	Alex Avard	3.5 / 5 stars	11-08-2018	Not as drastic a change up as its WW1 predecessor, nor as wild or wondrous, Battlefield 5’s deliberative design sidelines its strengths as a simulative sandbox.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Jeremy Duff	7.4 / 10	11-28-2018	This is a Battlefield experience through and through. However, I find myself staring more at the gaps in the menus than the accessible parts that are there. The promise of future content is a great thing, but not when you are constantly reminded of the voids it will fill. Fans will love this entry, and rightfully so, but in its current form Battlefield V won’t be recruiting any new soldiers to this battle.	Read review
GamingBolt	Shubhankar Parijat	9 / 10	11-13-2018	Battlefield V is yet another excellent addition in this admirably consistent franchise.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ron Burke	90 / 100	11-10-2018	After spending quite a while with the game, I’m blown away that there’s still so much to discover. With dozens of collectibles to find in the single player campaign, a seemingly-unlimited number of weekly challenges, and the Tides of War looming large on the horizon, Battlefield V is the best this series has ever been, and easily the best FPS of the season.	Read review
GearNuke	Danial Arshad Khan	8.5 / 10	11-25-2018	Battlefield V is a solid entry in the series and has the potential to become even better down the line with the ton of additional content planned down the line, especially the Battle Royale mode slated for next year. With DICE’s plans for their Tides of War service, Battlefield V will constantly evolve and we can’t wait for more.	Read review
Geek Culture	Gerald	7.9 / 10	12-10-2018	The game places itself as a solid entry into the franchise but you can’t help but wonder how the game constantly breaks new ground in new areas, but falls short in others.	Read review
Geeks Under Grace	Thomas White	7 / 10	08-25-2020	Nearly two years after its initial release, Battlefield V is a solid first-person shooter with an enjoyable campaign that unfortunately continues to suffer from many fo the issues that tainted its launch.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Iñigo	9.1 / 10	11-16-2018	There’s no doubt that Battlefield series is still going strong, and this V is probably the best game of the franchise.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Michał Mańka	8 / 10	11-19-2018	Battlefield V offers tremendous multiplayer experience but has an incredibly dull single-player campaign. Simply focus on playing online and everything will be fine. The developers have taken to heart all support received from players during beta tests and have fixed the most important issues.

Hobby Consolas	David Martinez	91 / 100	11-08-2018	An impressive shooter, both in gameplay and technical elements, which lacks of content at launch, but promises lots of new maps, modes and weapons (free for everyone) for coming months.	Read review
IGN	James Duggan	7.5 / 10	11-21-2018	Battlefield V is a grand and addictive shooter with some smart ideas for improving gunplay and team dynamics, but at launch it has too many technical issues and holes in its content to excel.	Read review

IGN Spain	Diego De La Fuente, Juan García	8 / 10	11-09-2018	A good but incomplete game that tries to improve every part of Battlefield 1, and achieves it… While falling short on content on its release (no coop, no battle royale, only 3 shor campaigns…)	Read review
Impulsegamer	Sean Warhurst	3.8 / 5 stars	12-20-2018	Over the last month, enough content has been added to Battlefield V where it doesn’t feel like you’re picking up a glorified Beta, and the multiplayer modes on offer are as solid as ever, with Grand Operations standing out as the pick of the bunch.	Read review
Just Push Start	Oliver East	4.4 / 5 stars	11-18-2018	Battlefield V hits the right notes of war being a bloody affair, with gritty hard fought battles. The maps present real contrast from one another, with each favoring different styles of play. Playing as part of a decent squad can see you noticeably affect the outcome of a battle, and one that is full of period weaponry that still pack a punch. Grand Operations is considered by DICE and EA as this installments crowning multiplayer achievement and as the game is currently missing the new standard of a Battle Royale mode this is the case. At the moment in time, the game has a few niggles bug wise but still presents a strong experience – one that will hopefully improve with a couple of minor patches and the promised future content.	Read review
Leadergamer	Alper Dalan	4 / 10	11-11-2018	Still the best in its own kind.	Read review
LevelUp	Luis Sánchez	9 / 10	12-06-2018	Despite all the controversies surrounding the announcement, Battlefield V continues to be a force of nature with his unique take on multiplayer that fans have come to love. With one of the best gunplay feelings in the franchise and an emotive single-player component, Battlefield V is a safe bet for veterans of the series and FPS enthusiasts.	Read review
Merlin’in Kazanı	Furkan Sakoğlu	80 / 100	11-09-2018	Battlefield V successfully delivers expectations from gameplay perspective. The new featured Grand Operations mod and War Stories are great. But releasing with only 8 maps and lack of content is also concerning.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	Metro GameCentral	8 / 10	11-11-2019	The improvements, fixes, and additions since launch have made Battlefield 5 a much better game, but it’s done nothing for the lack of originality.	Read review
New Game Network	Ben Thomas	71 / 100	11-25-2018	Battlefield V offers incredible pace as it sidesteps into the hardcore realm with modest success. Maps are open and satisfactory for Conquest, albeit with design issues, and some modes are too linear and chaotic. These inconsistencies, along with numerous technical issues, make it a good game that may eventually become a great one.	Read review
Nexus	Keegan Govender	8.5 / 10	11-19-2018	Battlefield V’s beautiful scenery and immersive gameplay is a reminder of DICE’s pedigree and proves that the company has evolved a winning formula.	Read review
NoobFeed	Adam Siddiqui	80 / 100	11-15-2018	Since its debut, Battlefield V has been facing an uphill battle due to its poor marketing campaign. However, Battlefield V successfully captures the essence of what’s this franchise such a monumental hit with fans and critics. The single-player is unexciting and serves as a passable tutorial for the multiplayer but like past entries in this franchise, Battlefield V is about large-scale multiplayer combat. And that’s where Battlefield V’s best moments exist, on the large maps against dozens of players in destructive warfare.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Emir Ataç	8 / 10	11-26-2018	There are plenty of free content in the works and battle royale mode is incoming. We have a long-lasting Battlefield game in our hands that rewards people who play a lot.	Read review
Pardis Game	Alireza Mahzoon	8 / 10	12-06-2018	Battlefield V presents one of the most engaging multiplier experiences of the year. The battles are insane and the game world is dynamic. Everything in the game including destructions, fortifications, playable modes, and classes works perfectly. However, some of the major problems such as bad Story mode and huge number of bugs prevent BFV from becoming a masterpiece.	Read review
Paste Magazine	Cameron Kunzelman	7.5 / 10	11-20-2018	It’s a structure, like a gym or a concert, and we have our role to play in it. It is good for what it is, but it isn’t more than that. This is a first-person shooter on a large scale, and if you’ve played one before and you’re itching for the most-recent and best-looking Battlefield, then you’ve found it. Anything more or less than that and you’re better off getting last year’s model. It’s probably gotten all the kinks worked out, at least.	Read review
PC Gamer	Andy Kelly	79 / 100	11-08-2018	Despite changes such as fortifications, more physical character movement, and an increased focus on squads, it still scratches that distinctive FPS itch that Battlefield always has. It’s not a massive, dramatic reinvention of the series, but I wasn’t expecting that anyway.	Read review
PC Invasion	PC Invasion	8 / 10	11-16-2018	The most visually stunning FPS game on the market right now with a thoroughly engaging multiplayer. Sadly, it still remains incomplete.	Read review
PCGamesN	James McMahon	9 / 10	11-08-2018	Battlefield V delivers the series’ finest single-player campaign yet, painting the horror of war from rarely seen perspectives. That tension carries through to the multiplayer, which has been tuned to hammer home your vulnerability in a firefight.	Read review
PCMag	Benjamin Moore	3.5 / 5 stars	11-27-2018	Battlefield V looks and sounds great, but its single-player and multiplayer campaigns ultimately do not advance the FPS genre in any meaningful way.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Blake Grundman	8 / 10	11-19-2018	Those that make the plunge and purchase Battlefield V will still have plenty to be excited about. There will be a little something for everyone, which will only get better with time and countless updates. Plus, if you’re looking for an excuse to make your PS4 GPU scream, look no further. Who knew that the horrors of war could ultimately end up being so goddamn beautiful?	Read review
PlayStation Universe	John-Paul Jones	8 / 10	11-20-2018	Boasting breathtaking spectacle and some of the most refined series multiplayer to date, Battlefield V’s missing features prevent EA’s latest from soaring to the heights that it deserves to. Nonetheless, DICE’s latest shooter effort both maintains and enhances the series essence to stake its claim as one of the better FPS titles available on PS4.	Read review

Post Arcade (National Post)	Chad Sapieha	8 / 10	11-14-2018	EA DICE’s latest shooter may be a bit rough around the edges, but it’s also a grand and respectful foray back to the franchise’s WWII roots	Read review
Press Start	Christopher Middleton	9 / 10	11-08-2018	Battlefield V retains heart in its single player War Stories mode and variety in its multiplayer modes. New & improved personalisation within ‘Your Company’ gives each of the classes a fresh, personal feel to your soldiers, while remaining authentic to the era. A solid road map of content is set to deliver new maps, modes and seasonal events to keep gamers coming back, which is a good thing as no other game does raw gun play and bullet physics quite like Battlefield. It just feels right and Battlefield V is no exception.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Bruno Henrique Vinhadel	81 / 100	11-27-2018	Battlefield V in its core still is one of the best shooting games and one of the funniest multiplayers you can find. The single player campaign is a bit shallow and several bugs end up leaving an impression that it could be even better. DICE has chosen to work inside a comfort zone by not taking many risks when it comes to the WWII atmosphere. But it’s expected more courage from the developers in the upcoming DLC and future titles of the franchise.	Read review
Push Square	Liam Croft	7 / 10	11-18-2018	Battlefield V is going to be a great game, of that we’re sure, but due to a number of glaring omissions at launch and one too many glitches, the final product isn’t there just yet. Series veterans are sure to feel at home with what’s on offer now, though, thanks to a solid multiplayer offering that sticks to the tried and true nature of what makes Battlefield tick.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	ريان الدويش	8 / 10	11-25-2018	The core of Battlefield V is promising, with the focus on the cooperation between the squad members being an important thing more than ever, also the addition of fortifications added a strategic layer to the game. Unfortunately, the lack of content combined with a weak story mode, and all the bugs the game have now prevents the game from being a masterpiece like the previous game	Read review
Saving Content	Scott Ellison II	4 / 5 stars	12-04-2018	Battlefield V feels less like an experiment, and more of a refinement for the series to-date. It doesn’t have much in the way of environments that recall World War II. From its War Stories single-player to its robust multiplayer offering, this feels like a World War II movie with how the gameplay feels, the visuals look, and the sound punches. Battlefield V is a game that’s going to evolve over time, and as it stands, has the foundations of something great. I look forward to the improvements DICE will be putting into the game throughout its lifespan.	Read review

Slant Magazine	Aaron Riccio	3 / 5 stars	11-16-2018	Battlefield V‘s failure to communicate, whether the emotional disconnect of each War Story or the difficulty of organizing your fellow soldiers in a Grand Operation, is the crippling problem that holds the game back from greatness.	Read review
Softpedia	Teodor Nechita	8 / 10	11-16-2018	Battlefield V changes the way historical FPS games are told, as it puts the human psyche ahead of glory, fame, and frags, or at least it does so until you join a multiplayer match.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Martin Černický	70 / 100	11-20-2018	Battlefield V delivers exactly what you can expect from that kind of game, namely a good multiplayer improved from the previous Battlefield games. This is the war that fans will enjoy.	Read review
SpazioGames	Matteo Bussani	8.3 / 10	11-13-2018	Battlefield V is a great chapter of the series, but isn’t without some problems. Attrition is the best addition to the gameplay of Battlefield in years and Tides of War can give the title new life every update. Apart from these elements, war stories are too short, historical problems could be avoided and some content could be released at launch.	Read review
Stevivor	Ben Salter	8 / 10	11-15-2018	Battlefield 5 is a fantastic multiplayer experience, especially across the fan favourite Conquest and large-scale Grand Operations.	Read review
TechRaptor	Anson Chan	8 / 10	11-13-2018	Battlefield V is a beautiful game that introduces some interesting new mechanics into an otherwise familiar genre. Combat is lethal but thrilling, and teamwork is more important than ever. The campaign is adequate, but you’re not missing much if you skip it.	Read review
Telegraph	Tom Hoggins	4 / 5 stars	11-19-2018	Battlefield 5 is without doubt one of the most perplexing video game releases of recent years.	Read review

The Digital Fix	Tom Bedford	7 / 10	11-20-2018	An expertly crafted shooter with worthwhile narrative endeavours, that’s a little too light on content for the time being	Read review
The Games Machine	Simone Rampazzi	8.5 / 10	11-09-2018	The gaming experience in Battlefield V left me pleasantly satisfied.	Read review

TheSixthAxis	Stefan L	8 / 10	11-13-2018	Battlefield V scratches an itch that many will have had since Battlefield 4. DICE have found a great feel for the gunplay, the tweaks to classes and additions like fortifications largely work as intended, and the way that Grand Operations have evolved brings a refreshing variety to the game. Sure, it’s around the edges at launch and with some largely forgettable single play War Stories, Battlefield V is a diamond in the rough.	Read review
TheXboxHub	Carlos Santuana	3.5 / 5 stars	11-29-2018	Overall and if you’re a fan of Battlefield then there is every reason to jump in with this year’s title, but if you want to experience the game as the developers have obviously intended, I suggest you hold off	Read review
TrueAchievements	Mark Delaney	4 / 5 stars	11-22-2018	At best this is the new reality of game service models. At worst EA rushed the game out in time for the holidays. Thankfully, even as some features are conspicuously absent, nothing else in Battlefield V feels rushed. It’s a smooth experience, offering yet another audiovisual master class, and regularly delivers a true sense of spectacle in a way that other console shooters simply can’t match.	Read review
TrueGaming	محمد البسيمي	8 / 10	12-07-2018	Battlefield V captured WWII beautifully although the single player campaign was nothing special and multiplayer felt two thin this time around.	Read review
Twinfinite	Ed McGlone	4 / 5 stars	11-16-2018	What I can say with confidence, though, is that Battlefield fans now have two great current-gen shooters, one set in each of the World Wars to choose from. If you skipped Battlefield 1, or don’t mind paying to jump to what will now be the actively supported game in the series for the next few years, Battlefield V is definitely worth picking up at some point.	Read review
USgamer	Kat Bailey	3.5 / 5 stars	11-16-2018	Battlefield’s traditional strengths remain firmly in place amid DICE’s return to World War II: great graphics, audio, and a scope that few other games can equal. But it’s a thinner package than usual, and the decision to hold important modes like Firestorm until 2019 feels like a crucial misstep. Battlefield 5 is a good shooter as it is, but we wouldn’t blame you if you decided to wait until it’s had some time to mature.	Read review
VG247	Kirk McKeand	Recommended	11-19-2018	Overall, Battlefield 5 is a brilliant shooter that’s hamstrung by its setting.	Read review
VGChartz	Thomas Froehlicher	9 / 10	12-15-2018	Gorgeous, fascinating, loaded with content, more ambitious and balanced than ever, Battlefield V is the ultimate war odyssey.	Read review
VideoGamer	Mike Harradence	7 / 10	11-16-2018	Battlefield V offers a compelling single-player and multiplayer package, although it’s not the complete reinvention that you may have hoped for.	Read review
Wccftech	Kai Powell	8 / 10	11-24-2018	As one of the best looking FPS on the market, nothing else can compete with the destruction and visual assault of Battlefield V. However, this great war stands incomplete with many features not yet available at launch.	Read review
We Got This Covered	David Morgan	3.5 / 5 stars	11-19-2018	Low on content and rough around the edges, Battlefield V feels like it was butchered for the sake of future “free” updates. What’s here is fun, but it isn’t a full-fledged experience, and it feels like an investment in an incomplete game.	Read review
