IGN reviewed Battlefield 6's campaign with a score of 5/10, describing it as a safe and dull reimagining rather than a bold reinvention of the series. The campaign is noted for its short length of about five hours and nine missions, and it doesn't have a standout mission that captures the signature large-scale action Battlefield is known for. Some visual highlights exist, like a crumbling New York bridge sequence, but overall, it's compared unfavorably to campaigns like Modern Warfare's and criticized for its lack of creative risks and limited scope despite a large budget. Multiplayer impressions from IGN are more positive, highlighting control over class kits, a variety of gameplay options, and satisfying combat mechanics.
