Speaking of paradoxical approaches to the passing of time in the video games of 2016, how about that Battlefield 1? There are some sensitive and earnest touches in DICE's latest shooter, but it is still essentially a game about enjoying war off-setting some of the root vulgarity of this position by acting serious at key moments.
