    Another year, another Call of Duty, but worse. The campaign is an insult, the multiplayer additions are minimal and the removal of SBMM is not impacting anything of significance. Sure, the zombies are back and are fun, but does one mode justify the high price of this entry? I think not. This is a barebones, uninspired yearly iteration that does not deserve to be in competition with BF6 and Arc Raider who clearly are going for the win and did not just give up like BLOPS7 did.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feels soulless and mercenary, doing just enough to avoid major outcry, while always feeling like a nip and tuck version of the games you once knew. This game may not be the worst game in the franchise, at least not for long, but it makes you question what we as an industry are even doing anymore.

    The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 campaign is incredibly ambitious, focusing on the personal lives of the heroes as they work to stop a grand evil plan. Not every choice lands as well as it could have, but overall, the experience is certainly worth playing, especially in co-op. [Campaign Review score = 75]

    Being able to play through Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's campaign in a full squad of four and then jump straight into the Endgame makes this one of the more enjoyable Call of Duty campaigns in recent years, even if the story being told fails to live up to the hype. [Campaign Review score = 84]
