Doubling down on World War II was a smart idea to help the studio carve out its own identity separate from Infinity Ward and Treyarch. While Call of Duty: Vanguard doesn't break the mold, it does succeed on most fronts, delivering one of the better multiplayer experiences in years for the franchise and a simplified Zombies mode that lowers the barrier of entry for those intimidated by past iterations. The amount of content available at launch combined with the lessons Sledgehammer learned from the beta and past titles has yielded a game that's both engaging and fun to play. Shooting zombies remains a fun and enjoyable experience, and the added objectives give more purpose to the mayhem. It's missing variety and features introduced in previous Zombies experiences, but Der Anfang is a decent starting point for this iteration of Zombies. Sadly, despite the campaign's immense scope and grand ambitions, it's brought crashing down to earth by a short runtime that doesn't give each front or character the time they need to make an impression. There are interesting ideas and story beats, but they're never given the necessary time and characterization to form a compelling campaign. Despite stumbling with the campaign, however, Call of Duty: Vanguard nails the Call of Duty experience everywhere else thanks to its stellar multiplayer and fun Zombies. Sledgehammer may have finally found their niche in the Call of Duty franchise.","2025-01-15T06:28:48.489757-05:00",{"id":265,"logo":795,"name":796,"slug":797,"tags":101,"bluesky":26,"twitter":798,"youtube":799,"facebook":800,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":801,"website_url":802,"score_format":108,"average_score":232,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":803,"stats_updated_at":804,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":805,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":490,"published_reviews_count":806},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

Sledgehammer Games however has happened across an intriguing formula, connecting what has worked in previous games and integrating it into their own. The campaign is stunning, and while short lived has a ton of heart, Zombies is as fun and maybe more inviting than it’s ever been, and the multiplayer hard carries this entry to a round 11 victory.

Headed back to that war, the studio is this time focused on exploring another angle—or several angles—of WWII that we don’t normally hear about. It was called “World War,” after all, and Vanguard focuses the light on different theaters of war around the world, and a diverse cast of players on the field who ultimately aided in bringing the Nazi regime and Axis powers to an end.","2025-01-18T13:22:30.541665-05:00",{"id":656,"logo":853,"name":854,"slug":855,"tags":323,"bluesky":26,"twitter":856,"youtube":26,"facebook":857,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":858,"website_url":859,"score_format":46,"average_score":281,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fplaystation-lifestyle-logo.png","Playstation Lifestyle","playstation-lifestyle","PSLifeStyle","playstationlifestyle","We love PlayStation, so we report on everything to do with it.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.playstationlifestyle.net\u002F"]
