A somber, eerie, horrifying recreation of World War 2, this edition of call of duty is able to show the true horrors of the event in a game environment.
Like Battlefield 1, COD WaW has certain fantastical elements, has anglosphere is great bullshit.
Luckily, the best part of the game is in the Soviet side of the story. With no necessity to go full americans are the tragic awesome heroes when that section of the story is done, the story really shines in the soviet german side of the conflict. It portrays how both sides are dark shades of gray very well, with the allies matching the germans in atrocities in the name of revenge.
Ofcourse the American side of the conflict contains one of the most interesting factions of a war game. The japanese are portrayed as brave and fanatical, fighting with every available option in their arsenal. I would say it makes up for the boring nature of this side of the story.
The music absolutely elevates the gameplay, hyped up guitar riffs, melancholy haunting tunes, every piece reflects the mood on the screen. I will go as far as to say that the music is precisely what makes this game timeless.
World at War shows it age in 2024, but with two halves to the game, one with exciting gameplay and boring story and another with traditional gameplay but epic story, somehow it melds into a timeless classic of the Call of Duty franchise.
It is worth a playthrough to this day. Give it a try!
