Delta Force

An entertaining one-stop-shop for competitive multiplayer action, but the recently released Black Hawk Down campaign is an unpleasant war simulation in all the wrong ways.

When teams coordinate, objectives shift dynamically, and firefights erupt across carefully tuned arenas, Delta Force feels like something greater than the sum of its influences. The challenge for the future is to refine this identity, not just echo others.

There aren't many free-to-play titles that have wanted me to keep playing and be my go-to game. Delta Force is far from perfect, but it gets the key ingredient right, and that is fun and engaging gameplay. As you'd expect with any game that has no entry cost, it is riddled with opportunities to spend cash. However, it is all cosmetic-based, so you have peace of mind that no one will have the upper hand on you unless they are cheating. I've poured in excess of 30 hours into Delta Force in the first week on consoles, and I would highly recommend anyone to try it. It'll be a game that I'll keep dipping into if they keep the content fresh and exciting, which I'm sure they will. It's hard to tell if it will be a gap filler for me until Battlefield 6 arrives, but I know this will always be here if I need to switch. Don't hesitate, get it downloaded!

Delta Force - Black Hawk Down had great potential, and it came out.... well - severely mediocre. The situation is saved by the fact that this is Early Access, so the campaign will certainly be patched and refined further.
