Reception
[change | change source]When the game first came out, it recieved mixed reviews from game critics. Critics said that they liked the graphics, physics, and multiplayer aspects of the game but because of the lack of content, it shouldn't have been a full price release.[4][5][6] The game would receive more positive reviews after updates and patches for the game over the years.[7]
The game has also won many awards. Among the awards won, it has won both Best Xbox One Game and Best Multiplayer Game at 2016 Gamescom and Evolving Game at the 17th British Academy Games Awards.[8][9] It was also nominated for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards in 2018 but lost to Fortnite.[10]
