“i think its a very good hop in game and its fun to play with the bots”
“Although the main idea behind the game is great, i couldn't experience it since every match i queue into crashes the game without any notice. I'm not saying that my specs are very good but i expected more.”
“Fun to farm some bots or practice flying, but not the best Battlefield game”

“Hi, at this price point I think this game is definitely worth buying, it's kept my son entertain for hours for £4! Yes I would recommend this game, it's not perfect but at this price I don't care.”
“I was hesitant to purchase this game because of the reviews and Anti-cheat, but at $2.99, and playing it on GeForce Now, it is kinda fun and worth my time and money. Granted, so far I am playing with only other CPU…”
“It's good if you can actually get into a game. Requiring secure boot is turbo dumb though. If you can get it for cheap it's totally worth it”

“On the single/coop player aspect It's a lot of fun. The portal gives you all the alternatives you could hope for to host the game the way you want. As for the multiplayer pvp aspect I couldn't tell you.”
“This game is so amazing if you want to play only online this game is Great i buyed only 150 rs and worth this game battlefield 6 is to nice game but so expensive and battlefield 2042 is so good multiplayer is awesome if…”
“I love this game 128 players I think I'm going to keep this one and ditch Battlefield 6 I mean 6 has all the same things but worse the player count is 64 boo!!!! For that price anyways Battlefield 6 is a downgrade I…”

“One of my favourite battlefield games. Lots of different playstyles and lots of progression. I also found no bugs but the performance is not very high on my pretty solid pc.”
“underated as* and wayyy less bugged than ppl say it is. graphically great and very satisfying gameplay. better maps than bf6 including hourglass. the first games freeze a lot but it passes by fast.”
“I personally really liked the game, and I don't understand why a lot of people don't like it now just because it had bugs in the past. I really like the gameplay, the realism, and the huge battles. I would give it an…”

“5 games played so far... Very easy/intuitive keyboard set-up, similar to other games. I did a sniper build and after a few games getting the layout of the maps, I had 9 kills + 3 assist in game 4 and 13 kills + 1 assist…”
“audio cuts in and out. cpu on 100% while playing, cant find any way to fix this, lowering graphics settings to the lowest doesnt help. gameplay is bland, movement and animations are stiff. maps are massive and sparse.…”

“Does not even start red banner saying this software cannot be run at the same time as the game. WTF SOFTWARE??? Is it Steam cant run at the same time? Uninstalled CRAP.”
“Although the main idea behind the game is great, i couldn't experience it since every match i queue into crashes the game without any notice. I'm not saying that my specs are very good but i expected more.”
“NOTE: This review is for playing SP against bots on conquest and the other SP gameplay (can't recall it's name as it's forgettable). As of 2026, there are only 2 ways you can play SP against bots which have been…”

“Bought it a couple years ago, come back and it now requires secure boot. I can no longer play the game I paid for without messing with my pc.”
“This game requires you to change settings in your bios just to be able to play the game, which frankly is ridiculous.”
“They expect people to pay them for a root-kit that does god-knows-what? I bought this 6 months ago for 95% off and spent something like $3.xx. This game and every EA game should be F2P considering how much data they're…”

“For 5 bucks, better than BF6 fraud game banning players for having non-cheating softwares installed on PC. Very polished game compared to other titles. Epic large open maps with AI to fill in, giving that classic era BF feel. Underrated near-future setting with global locations…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Don't buy this game unless you realize that you're forced to install EA’s anti-cheat. It runs at the kernel level, giving it more control over your OS and hardware than you have. You don't know what the chat is doing and what information collect and sent to EA about you and your…”
