2.0 out of 5 starsNot great for PS5 players yet
Reviewed in Australia on 27 November 2021
This game looks great but is not really that fun as a PS5 player (yet). If you play cross-play you will be annihilated by PC players. You are a moving target for PC players, as it is difficult to defend yourself as at launch aim-assist is turned off on the PS5. It is difficult to score a shot at a distance. You can turn cross-play off altogether but you wait 10 minutes to join a game.
There also appears to be too many vehicles on many of the maps. In Breakthrough the points up high are difficult if not impossible to take, and makes these points a grind. It appears DICE never really tried real 64v64 players. I would have loved some closer combat maps instead of maps with huge spaces between.
There are bugs galore, sometimes you join a match and cannot select a loadout. However, closing the game and reopening it fixes it but you would assume that would be fixed at launch.
Granted it looks beautiful, and the new mechanics/classes are a change from what was in the previous iterations of BF. But I must say that the moment it is not that enjoyable to play and needs more polish.
