Battlefield 1 review

Battlefield 1 takes the top spot because it gives PS4 owners the full scale of military combat for the lowest list price on this list. The PlayStation Store page describes battles that range from urban combat in a besieged French city to mountain forts in the Italian Alps and the deserts of Arabia, with weapons and vehicles across land, air and sea and destruction that forces players to adapt. Multiplayer supports up to 64 players, and a campaign covers the war for players who want a story first. The standard PS4 edition lists at $19.99 on the US PlayStation Store, and the Revolution edition costs $39.99. It is a World War 1 game, so weapons are bolt-action rifles and early machine guns rather than modern kit, which some players see as the appeal and others as a limit. Online play requires PS Plus, and the store lists in-game purchases that include random items.
