Battlefield V marks a major return to the World War II aesthetic the series originally was borne from, but developer DICE doesn’t want the game to be the same “Storm Normandy” and “Battle of the Bulge” highlights we’ve seen in countless shooters already. Instead, there’s a drive to tell the war stories we haven’t heard before.

The team seem to have succeeded already, and I’ve only played through one complete single-player campaign portion (while sampling others). Every portion stands completely separate from the others, and each has a unique feeling despite all coming from the same game. The segment I played emphasized stealth gameplay while crawling through the snow-covered mountains of Norway. (I bet you don’t immediately think of Norway when you think about World War II.)
