Battlefield V Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

3. It Looks (And Sounds) Amazing

At this point, it should be a given that a new Battlefield game is going to look and sound amazing. DICE have done incredible things with the Frostbite engine, and once again delivered a version of WW2 that's hauntingly beautiful.

However, there have been a few changes from the previous game which keep things fresh. This time around there's far more colour, as apposed to the blood, metal and mud style of DICE's WW1. Likewise, there's far more variation in the terrain, with dense, bombed-out cities giving way to snowy mountaintops, colourful fields and dreary broken bridges.

Dynamic weather has also returned from Battlefield 1, which adds another unpredictable element to each match. Those mountaintops, for instance, might become shrouded in a snowstorm that makes spotting enemies difficult, promoting a more methodical style of play. Little flourishes like this keep engagements visually interesting, while the way your gun will become covered in mud as you crawl through dirt to the next objective continues to immerse you in these conflicts.
