Multiplayer

I also LOVE that both sides are portrayed through their perspective in the preround and intermissions instead of strictly through a "good" and "bad" team lens (this only applies to multiplayer I have to add, War stories aka Singleplayer campaigns are Entente-sided, but credit where credit is due to the war stories that portray a good story and play well).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sheer level of dedication that the game got is something that we just don't see today, just awesome gameplay, interesting campaign, great maps, an incredibly immersive experience, an epic soundtrack and just overall fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The whole game really feels like a war game—the visuals, sound, weapons, destruction, and overall presentation all come together extremely well.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

It’s very well made and definitely has that addictive Battlefield gameplay loop.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Surface level stuff out of the way first: the guns feel very primitive considering they're WW1 weapons, but they still managed to make the gunplay feel fun, there's so much love and attention to detail especially in the voice acting and sound design, the music is incredible (like holy ♥♥♥♥ the orchestra is good), and every match feels so damn cinematic.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s even faster if you know someone who already has all the weapons and is willing to help you boost it.
