First an admission – we played Warfare 1917 so much last week that we were honestly toying with not writing anything on Thursday afternoon. Warfare 1917 is, without exaggeration, one of the best games we’ve ever played on any platform.

Warfare 1917 flings you right into the muddy trenches of Europe in the middle of the First World War and asks you to push forward bit by bit until all of Europe is yours. You can do this by throwing hundreds of men at the enemy, by training a select group of specialist soldiers, by timing your strikes with air raids or a mixture of the three. In Warfare 1917 you can be as tactical as you like, but whatever you do it’ll suck you in without question. Plus you can play as the Germans if you want, which we do.
