Back to the future. And the past.

Overall, I love the old-school feels of Black Ops in Cold War and I love the storyline. All of the modes are fun to play and offer a lot for old players and new players alike. It is fun to get back into the action with players from all consoles and on PC to make the action that much better with cross-play. There are some issues with multiplayer that will seemingly never go away but such is life for an online multiplayer game. COD Black Ops: Cold War is $59.99 USD and has been out for a little...

A direct sequel to the original, fan-favorite Black Ops, and set in the early 1980s, Black Ops Cold War, drops players into the depth of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical universe in a gripping experience where nothing is as it seems.

Another year, and another installment into the Call of Duty series. With Raven Studios and Treyarch Shanghai at the helm, we dive back into espionage and deceit for a new chapter in the Black Ops sub-series. The change with Black Ops Cold War though, is the fact that it has essentially rendered most of the Black Ops games non-canonical, being a direct follow up to the original Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on PS4 is an ever-so-slightly worse looking version of the PS5 release, but with disappointing performance. If you can ignore those shortcomings, the same game with its summer blockbuster-style campaign and classic CoD multiplayer is still here.

A strong entry in the long-running series and a fascinating dive into the Cold War.Following a mediocre fourth episode in the sub-series, and generally speaking a futuristic orientation for the shooter franchise [...]

What I didn’t expect from the new Call of Duty was downtime, and the suggestion, at least in the first half, that guns, while great for going in blazing, can provide just as potent a thrill when holstered.

Does Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War justify the price tag in a world where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Warzone is popular for free?

7/10

The single-player and campaign modes are actually really great stuff. But like nearly all Call of Duty games, that is the content you'll breeze through within your first week playing if even for just a few hours a day. The bulk of the ride ends up being multiplayer and zombies and that is where the problems really lie. This is a game that I'm sure will eventually get the extra content, balancing, and bugs worked out along a series of patches and end up being much better than it is today. But unfortunately the buggy, laggy, unbalanced, and content-sparse game we get at launch is the only one I ...

The beating heart of the Call of Duty experience in terms of multiplayer feels like a solid return to the classic formula, but abundant technical issues make this a worrying stumble into a new generation

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a mixed bag in every sense of the word. It was developed in a rush after developers Sledgehammer Games and Raven Softwar ...

Unscored

Combined with the fact that the game is riddled with generative AI, plainly evident in its calling cards and quite possibly present elsewhere too, the result is an experience that doesn't seem like it's been put together with much care or consideration at all. Black Ops 7 is truly Call of Duty for the slop generation, a rushed, inconsistent and soulless experience.
