Verdun is as immersive and gritty as it can get with elements such as horrendous gore that portrays the true horror of First World War battlefields, though this feature can be disabled if preferred. Authentic weapons need to be handled with skill, and realistic bullet physics require you to lead your shots when firing on moving targets at long range. In the event of a gas attack, you need to put on your gas mask, which impairs your view and gives you a very claustrophobic experience. And if getting shot or gassed isn’t enough, sudden artillery barrages called in by NCOs can pin you down if you’re caught in the open – this unforgiving war isn’t for the faint hearted!
