Call of Duty: WWII (CDWWP4R2FNB) PS4 Review – Action & Shooter

Call of Duty: World War II (CDWWP4R2FNB) for PlayStation 4 marks a return to form for the franchise, taking players back to the gritty realities of the Second World War. After several futuristic and more fantastical installments, this game focuses on delivering a grounded and visceral war experience. I spent considerable time playing through the campaign, diving into multiplayer matches, and even experimenting with the zombie mode to offer you a comprehensive review.

The game boasts a compelling single-player campaign that follows a squad of American soldiers across Europe. The narrative focuses on the bonds of brotherhood and the sacrifices made during the war. Beyond the campaign, the multiplayer offers a range of maps and game modes, keeping the action fast-paced and competitive. The zombies mode, a staple of recent Call of Duty titles, returns with its own unique storyline and gameplay mechanics.

Graphically, the game is impressive. The environments are detailed, the character models are well-rendered, and the overall visual fidelity contributes greatly to the immersion. The sound design is equally exceptional, with realistic gunfire, explosions, and atmospheric soundscapes that heighten the sense of being in the thick of battle.

The performance of Call of Duty: WWII (CDWWP4R2FNB) on the PS4 is generally very good. I experienced minimal frame rate drops even during intense multiplayer matches with plenty of action onscreen. Load times are relatively quick, and the game runs smoothly most of the time. However, on some larger maps, I noticed occasional minor stutters which didn’t significantly impact gameplay but were noticeable.

The online multiplayer is stable and consistently matched me with other players quickly. The servers felt responsive, and I had no connection issues to speak of during my testing. The overall multiplayer experience was incredibly enjoyable, offering a satisfying and competitive gameplay loop.

Pros:

  • Immersive and engaging single-player campaign
  • Fast-paced and competitive multiplayer
  • Excellent graphics and sound design
  • Stable online performance
  • Return to a classic Call of Duty setting

Cons:

  • Occasional minor stuttering in larger multiplayer maps
  • Some may find the campaign slightly linear
  • The zombie mode might not appeal to all players

Overall, Call of Duty: WWII (CDWWP4R2FNB) is a strong entry in the long-running franchise. While it has a few minor shortcomings, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. The compelling campaign, engaging multiplayer, and impressive visuals make it a worthwhile purchase for fans of the series and World War II games in general. The return to a more grounded setting is refreshing, and the focus on squad dynamics adds an emotional depth that’s often missing in modern shooters. I highly recommend it!
