Is it still worth playing?
Set in the First World War, this 2016 first person shooter for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One has a single player mode, War Stories. It follows soldiers across theaters of the war including the Western Front, the Italian Front, Gallipoli and Arabia. The multiplayer offers large-scale ground battles and aerial dogfights, and the game emphasizes teamwork. Players use weapons of the period, including bolt-action rifles, submachine guns, artillery, flamethrowers and poison gas. Melee combat has new weapons such as sabres, trench clubs and shovels, divided into heavy, medium and light groups. Players can also take control of armored vehicles such as tanks, landships, armored cars, torpedo boats and armored trains, as well as bi- and tri-plane aircraft. A war in trenches and biplanes is still a setting worth seeing.
