    I can’t help feel (that word again) that Call of Duty: WWII is a definite improvement in the series, and I can only hope that they will choose to remain in this time period. Now that Sledgehammer Games proved they are up to the task, it’s very likely they will continue with some great releases. The community was not expecting this kind of quality from the franchise, especially after the declining trend of the previous titles, but it’s definitely a nice surprise and worth checking out, especially if you’re a PC gamer.

    As a whole package, Call of Duty: WWII has a little something for everyone to enjoy, but that has been the story of this series for a long time. No, this homecoming is far, far better than the sum of its parts, a true return to form in practically every respect. It feels alien to be looking back on a new Call of Duty release as anything other than enjoyable yet unremarkable triple-A fare, but here we are. Call of Duty: WWII delivers on all fronts: compelling and heartfelt in its storytelling; imposing in its sense of scale and spectacle; and unremittingly addictive in its gunplay.

    Call of Duty WWII embraces the series’ beginnings and tells its story through a gripping, thoughtful campaign, continued excellence with Nazi Zombies mode and an expanded (but still formulaic) online multiplayer experience. Anybody who remembers the good old times they had with the franchise’s earlier titles should eventually take a look, as Call of Duty WWII is a return to form.

    In terms of bringing old-school Call of Duty up to modern standards, Call of Duty: WWII does fairly admirably, but at the same time every end of it feels like something is missing. The campaign is a tour and spectacle of the terror and intensity of the conflict as the Allies fought their way into to the Eagle’s Nest, but the forgoing of nearly all outside perspectives in favor of an all-American campaign feels narrow in comparison to previous COD outings that have tackled this subject matter. Likewise, multiplayer is as tight as ever and War mode is a solid addition that we hope to see built upon in all further Call of Duty content, but the hub feels tacked on. Zombie Mode is still Zombie Mode and fans will find a lot to discover and challenge in the new scenario, but the stark tones might put off the more lighthearted fans of the mode in its previous incarnations. COD: WWII is far from the worst of the series and players will find a wealth of well-crafted moments and design here, but a few too many oddities and omissions keep it from being the best that Call of Duty has ever offered.

    A magnificent, but also a sympathetic, unpretentious return to the roots of the series. Yet the campaign is short-lived, and your next experience depends on how much you enjoy the multiplayer and/or shooting Nazi zombies.

    Shallow story combined with historic inaccuracies and very buggy multiplayer gave us a game that leaves a bitter taste in stark contrast with big expectations. War Mode is a bright spot and is currently the only thing really worth playing, but there’s still hope that the game might improve over time with patches.

    Call of Duty: WWII gives the impression of being prematurely published, and has a plethora of serious flaws. It’s return to the series roots is in setting only, and the game pales in comparison to the classics it draws inspiration from.

This game has amazing graphics, gameplay is a step back. But Sledgehammer Games was able to show a real war. It showed the war without embellishment, real, brutal war. We have forgotten what it is. We used fun to kill enemies in video games without hesitation. After CALL OF DUTY: WWII start to appreciate the peaceful times in which we live.

    The story tells the usual story of a military soldier. Together with brothers in arms wades through a real hell. We've seen similar stories in games, the war has not been shown so realistically. Basically, this effect causes dismemberment. Very often we will see people without body parts, burning people and the atrocities of the Nazis.

    The plot is simple, but you believe in this war, believe what is happening on the screen. All the characters have their own character, everyone has their demons. It is interesting to observe the drama of the characters.

    The gameplay is now in spirit first every part OF CALL OF DUTY. Because of this the gameplay has become more boring. You sit behind cover and aims at enemies. Diversity is not. But there is one good innovation. The developers decided to implement in a single company element of teamwork. If we need supplies, first aid kit or swegene about the enemy - we are asking comrades. This is an interesting thing. and Yes, now health itself is not restored - it is necessary to look for kits. Here you don't feel like a super soldier ready to kill everyone, you could die at any moment.

    Call of Duty: WWII is a game about realistic warfare. A single company is not very long, but no time to get bored. It's not the best Call of Duty, gameplay and artistic design can to lose IW, but nevertheless it was nice to return to the battlefields of WWII.

    P.S. The PC version suffers from bad optimization. Change already the engine! You can not get it to properly optimize! On PC to buy the game just is not necessary.

The single player campaign isAfter going in with low expectations I was surprised to find that Call of Duty WWII is actually a decent game. The single player campaign is solid, with some missions being excellent and others being quite forgettable. This is one of the few Call of Duty games where I found myself actually getting immersed in the setting, which is largely due to the game's excellent visuals and character animations. The multiplayer is very 'standard', even for a Call of Duty game, with a hub world that is pointless and microtransactions/lootboxes that are shoved in your face. Nothing about the multiplayer is 'new' which makes it feel a little underwhelming and boring. The zombies mode is decent but definitely not the best in the series by any means. Overall, I feel that this game is well put together but it definitely comes across as unoriginal and generic, however I still feel its worth experiencing for anyone that likes WWII settings and if you are a big fan of the franchise then you will likely enjoy what the game has to offer.

    If the last two to three years can be remembered for anything its "unmemorable" games. The baton in the race to the bottom has been picked upIf the last two to three years can be remembered for anything its "unmemorable" games. The baton in the race to the bottom has been picked up by COD WWII.

    This is really a banal remix of any combination of previous WWII games you care to mention with big budget cinematic's and prettier graphics. Like so many other titles I rather get the feeling this in itself is enough to make a game sell. Maybe, maybe not.

    What does help is creative varied game play and an acknowledgement that the USA was not the only country to fight the Axis. This gets a quick mention at the start in truth but then its USA all the way. No option whatsoever to play another allied or axis nation which would have made the game a lot more diverse and interesting.

    Whats also flawed in this game is like so many others its reliance on "push button" cut scenes where you try to destroy your keyboard attempting to do something pointless like a early on and quite frankly God awful tussle with a German soldier armed with a bayonet. This could and in my opinion should have been left out. It added nothing and the clumsy approach taken to key/mouse combinations was a usability nightmare.

    In short, in my opinion, this is mediocre fare that's repetitive and feels awkward due to the weird mouse key combo's used in the annoying, on best left in the recycle bin ", interactive" cut scenes. 2/10 from me.

    Probably the worst call off duty game yet. The franchise is long dead but at least previous installments tried to add something new; blackProbably the worst call off duty game yet. The franchise is long dead but at least previous installments tried to add something new; black ops games had interesting plot twists in sp campaign, AW and IW had new gameplay mechanics. While none of these additions could redeem the franchise, this game decided to get rid of anything which might have made it interesting. Boring, not so interesting single player, multiplayer is pretty much the same as previous games minus wall running and vice versa. It is technically unremarkable and there are no no destructable environments. There is no reason to buy this game, you can go back to playing world at war.
    I am not even touching the subject of heinous business practices.
    Call of Duty is over for a long time and these guys are trying to sell its corpse every year.
