There are —even going by the most rudimentary method of accounting, the Wikipedia search. They span all sorts of genres from every era of gaming, but the average World War II video game overwhelmingly favors one particular type of game in particular: the first-person shooter. The reason why is easy enough to surmise—World War II is a conflict of immense scale with a number of dramatic scenarios and one of history's few straight-up unquestionably bad guys leading the other team. WWII allowed first-person shooters to show off their technical prowess and dramatic storytelling chops in recreating scenes like the D-Day storming of Normandy, and did so repeatedly—the era was immensely popular, with franchises from Medal of Honor to Call of Duty built around it from the mid-'90s to the early aughts, and shooters didn't start moving away from adapting the war until the runaway success of 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Joshua RiveraWorld War I, on the other hand, isn't so popular. That same simple yields about sixty games based on World War I, and most are primarily about aerial combat, eschewing on-the-ground skirmishes for re-creations of the era's dramatic fighter pilots, casting players as the colorful aces that ruled the sky instead of placing their boots on the ground. It is also easy to infer why that might be—the combat of World War I was a prolonged, grim thing, most often characterized by soldiers waiting in trenches or being massacred by new weapons they weren't prepared for, like mustard gas or the rare tank. In a crude sense, World War I, as it was waged, seems to be poor source material for a shooting game, lacking a variety of modern weaponry and a cultural penetration from which familiar dramatic arcs could be constructed. The Great War, it seems, was kind of a mess, and not the kind that would be fun to play through in a video game. (The WWI/WWII divide is something of a loose rule for video game takes on real wars—games depicting conflicts before WWI are rare and usually aren't great, while games set during WWII and later wars are far more plentiful and fare much better.).
