Battlefield 5 campaign
Nordlys is undoubtedly the strongest of the lot, focusing on a Norwegian mother and daughter coming to blows with their German invaders, and not just because you can ski around the open map. These War Stories are shorter in number but longer in length than Battlefield 1's though, sadly, that concentration seems to have affected the consistency of their overall quality. Battlefield 1’s War Stories saw DICE finally discover an effective structure for its storytelling after years of forgettable Battlefield campaigns, so it makes perfect sense for the studio to continue that anthology format for Battlefield 5, with three separate vignettes (alongside an exceptional prologue) shedding light on some of the lesser known heroes of WW2.

While most people will be picking up Battlefield 5 for its multiplayer, this iteration thankfully doesn’t go the way of Black Ops 4, but includes a full campaign containing around seven to eight hours of solid single player content. Unfortunately, in doing so, this latest entry loses sight of what makes the series so special, even while retaining, expanding, and improving upon so much else. Which leads us to Battlefield 5, and a World War 2 setting that pays homage to the series’ origins while simultaneously feeling its way towards new horizons for the franchise. It’s perhaps a reflection of the fact that, over the course of this console generation, Battlefield has been slowly moving away from its milsim sandbox roots into something more choreographed, but no less operatic in flavour.
