Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

This game’s campaign worked perfectly and it was great to re-experience it, but any multiplayer modes left something to be desired.

The most complete CoD package in years, Black Ops 6 is further proof that Treyarch are the masters of this franchise.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is an incredible experience, especially to a first time campaign player, delivering real action in both its multiplayer and single-player offerings.

With the best Call of Duty campaign in years, and a tweaked movement system that comes to life in multiplayer, Black Ops 6 is both a return to form and a great entry point for new or lapsed players. Just don't expect it to do anything interesting with the Gulf War setting.

There’s a good reason why Treyarch and Black Ops are so beloved by the Call of Duty community. The sub-franchise usually delivers the stronger campaigns, multiplayer and third modes in the series.

However, it doesn’t break new ground and still feels very much like a traditional CoD title, Treyarch and Raven Software have created a refined and authentic Black Ops ...

“Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers story thrills, wacky movement, and a whole lot of microtransactions.”

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a mostly enjoyable experience with a fun Campaign and Zombies maps, though multiplayer needs more work. It may not reinvent the wheel or rise to the series' greatest heights, but after last year, it's a massive improvement.

A belligerently enjoyable sequel with stellar multiplayer and a campaign that can't stack up to the greats.
