5 reasons you should be playing The Great War: Western Front

radiotimes.com:

If you’re a fan of tactical strategy games, you’ll know the name Petroglyph already. This development company has previously delivered some of the best-loved games in the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, starting with 2006’s Star Wars: Empire at War™ and continuing all the way through until the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection™ in 2020.

If you’re a history buff that loves gaming too, you’ll also know that far fewer interactive experiences have been made about World War I in comparison to World War II. There are countless games that will let you run and gun at the Nazis, or try to outthink them on the battlefield, but the trench-based conflict of the so-called Great War is comparatively untouched in gaming.

You can probably see where we’re going with this. The team at Petroglyph have made a World War I game, allowing you to experience trench warfare like never before. It’s called The Great War: Western Front™, it’s recently been published by Frontier Foundry, and we’re going to run through some of the key reasons to check this game out below! Regardless of your experience level with historical or tactical games, we think you’ll be impressed.

The first point we’d like to stress is that the team at Petroglyph have really done their homework here. In fact, they’ve even worked extensively with the Imperial War Museums to ensure that everything in the game is as historically accurate as possible.

You’ll feel this authenticity from the ground up in every facet of the game, from the beautifully realised opening cut scenes that explain the overarching history, to archive photos that appear between missions, right down to the minute details of the artillery you’ll be able to deploy in battle. You’ll even hear licensed music
