The most interesting thing about Hardline is the change of direction. For the first time in this series we see something special. Set in modern day, in the city, no battlefields, no soldiers. It's a cop procedural. I found it interesting. Since we haven't seen Battlefield this way I was excited to see what was waiting.
Playing as a detective is fun and amazing. This story feels like a playable tv series with a Netflix-feeling.
Sure the story wasn't that deep or emotional in that way. But it was enjoyable to discover Los Angeles and Miami, in a gangster environment. A bit too much cliche sometimes and too less storytelling, actually the beginning of the campaign gave us some time to get to know Kai and Mendoza still. And the ending, I found it likeable. It shows were Mendoza have gotten for this point of time. And the face off between Mendoza and the "antagonist" pretty cool. And of course like the Hollywood movies this game tried to represent, it had a little twist ending. The story wasn't deep, but it was a fun Hollywood experience with evident antagonists.
Multiplayer is cool. All these game modes, this cop vs criminal style is perfect setting of the game. I feel that this game suceeded with making something special and it gave Battlefield some fresh air.
