What marks does the news receive from foreign reviewers? You can see this in summary below.
EGM
Battlefield 2042 returns to the sandbox series in a bold and controversial way. The new system of specialists may seem like sacrilege at first, but it opens up gaming possibilities that were not possible in previous titles. Extensive and well-designed maps offer plenty of room for experimentation, and the new game modes are absolutely great. Thanks to the Portal mode, the new Battlefield offers content for almost everyone, but it still doesn’t seem overpriced. It is the true evolution of the series, which defies the stagnation that threatened its future. It’s not a game for everyone, but those who want to have fun and experiment will not be disappointed.

Digital Trends
Because Battlefield 2042 only offers an online part, the developers had to make up for the lack of single-player content with valuable multiplayer content. DICE developers not only succeeded in this regard, but went even further. All-Out Warfare is a fantastic evolution of the classic Battlefield experience, modernizing the series to deliver more range, spectacle and more gameplay than ever before. In the same way, the Battlefield Portal and the Hazard Zone each shine in their own right, the first of which proves that the novelty can also serve as a platform on which players can create their own unique experiences. If one of the future Battlefield titles omits these two modes, players will probably no longer consider it complete.

It did not go without problems, but still Battlefield 2042 is a fantastic sequel to the popular DICE series. The All-Out Warfare mode, as well as the Hazard Zone, is captivating, while the Battlefield Portal far exceeds it all. There’s a lot you’ll love here, and I’m looking forward to where the game moves with the next updates.

Battlefield 2042 misses the campaign and focuses on what’s best for it: sophisticated and fun multiplayer. The number of 128 players (on PC and next gen) guarantees the most spectacular battles in the series, and we like that Battlefield Portal allows you to return to previous episodes. However, the reviewed version did not go without technical problems.
