    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 easily delivers one of the worst — if not the worst — campaigns in the franchise, recycling multiplayer maps and its gameplay structure to support a weak narrative and encounters that range from monotonous to downright embarrassing. In multiplayer and Zombies, the game tries to introduce something new, but the best parts are simply what already worked in the past and has been remastered, resulting in a completely forgettable experience and a blemish on the franchise’s image.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 aspires to be the biggest game in the series, but in the process, it forgets not only that being the best doesn't always mean being the best, but also part of its own identity. With an unusual campaign, large maps, and a consistent yet remarkable Zombies mode, the overall excellence is enhanced by a multiplayer mode that, once again, doesn't disappoint.

    We enjoyed discovering each game mode in Call of Duty Black Ops 7. Thanks to its fun campaign one can play with others and that acts as a real stress reliever with crazy, well-designed bosses (or more like missions interspersed with cutscenes), Activision is taking the risk of disappointing some players looking for a solo experience. The multiplayer mode remains very classic in terms of what we expect from a Call of Duty game, and the omni-movement, introduced in Black Ops 6, comes into its own with its dynamic and rather successful maps. The Zombie mode will appeal to fans of the genre with its content, which is traditional but eagerly awaited. Finally, the return of Dead Ops adds a welcome touch of nostalgia to the title.
