Standing on the brink of war, the United States and Russia have been participating for years in conflicts that are supposed to replace large-scale open warfare. The soldiers, known here as No-Pats, do not formally belong to either side, but they are true specialists and their actions shape the future of the entire world.

So Does Battlefield 2042 Only Pretend It's Not About Climate Change?

Battlefield 2042 uses the climate catastrophe and the subsequent refugee crisis as the backdrop for its fictitious conflict – and yet tries to pretend it doesn't. For AAA games, weirdly understood notion of being apolitical has become sanctity.

DualShockers: 9 / 10 by Mehrdad Khayyat

Overall, Battlefield 2042 is a complete package of a first-person shooter that many players will enjoy playing it. Thanks to the Portal mode, the game never disappoints you in delivering diverse game modes, and Hazard Zone is a new option to put more hours into Battlefield, especially for pro players.

GamesRadar+: 3.5 / 5 by Josh West

Battlefield 2042 is a strong foundation for future expansion. DICE's multiplayer-only FPS has scale and spectacle, but there are elements in need of careful refinement and optimization.

Full Review

Game Rant: 2.5 / 5 by Cameron Corliss

Battlefield 2042 isn't just a lackluster Battlefield game, it's a bad FPS in general. It's an overcorrect after Battlefield 5's marketing was criticized for its "out-there" CGI trailers. It isn't clear what Battlefield 2042 is, or even what it wants to be, beyond a bland step back. One can hope for meaningful content updates later down the line, but the ship is sinking before even leaving port.
