Battlefield 4 review

Battlefield 4 is the cheapest way to get modern military combat at Battlefield scale on PS4. The PlayStation Store page lists up to 64 online players with PS Plus, Frostbite 3 destruction that can bring down a dam or a skyscraper, naval assaults from gunboats and a campaign that follows a squad after an evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai. The standard edition costs $19.99 on the US store, the Premium Edition $39.99, and the game is included with EA Play. It also supports Remote Play. It is the oldest game here, released in November 2013, so it lacks the newer modes found in Battlefield V and Battlefield 2042, but it remains the low-cost choice for players who want modern rifles, tanks and jets rather than World War weapons.
