The Great War: Western Front (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
* Supply-centered mechanics
* Trench warfare realism
* Good presentation
The Bad:
* Limited battle variety
* Slow campaign pace
* Some cheesy computer tactics
Conclusion:
The Great War: Western Front is a good strategy game that tackles a historical period most titles in the genre overlook. Both the strategic and the tactical sides feature interesting mechanics and plenty of choices that affect the course of the war. The computer mostly puts up a good enough fight while the multiplayer side has plenty of options to create varied situations.
But the game sits at a weird crossroads in terms of abstraction. It has plenty of realist elements but also allows corps to instantly move across the map. It rewards deep preparation but some battles can be won by simply carefully avoiding some enemy defenses. The Great War: Western Front captures the frustration and tension of World War I trench warfare well but struggles to make it a great video game experience.
