Battlefield 1 Reviews: 8 Early Reactions You Need To Know

6. Graphics & Presentation Are Outstanding

"The Argonne Forest in particular - with its light mist, detailed vegetation, and man-made ruins - is one of the most gorgeous multiplayer maps ever conceived." - Gamespot

"The visuals and sound design here are like nothing else in the genre (and this goes for single player content as well). From shifting deserts to bombed-out towns to muddy, barbed wire-laden trenches, these are some of the most compelling environments I’ve seen in the genre, and it’s where the World War I setting really shines. The Frostbite 3 engine does channel Star Wars: Battlefront to a certain extent, but this game is even more beautiful than that one." - Forbes

This is what one of the most financially lucrative video game studios looks like. Battlefield has long been a looker, but with BF1, travelling across so many individual landscapes only highlights the breadth and quality of DICE's Frostbite Engine.

We knew it looked astounding in Star Wars Battlefront, but from top to bottom here, Battlefield 1 is a real jaw-dropper.
