Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign review: a military shooter that comes disguised as other, better games.
The game's campaign offers the usual set pieces and poorly created undercover missions, borrowing themes and tricks from better games.
The game's installation process is long-winded and unnecessarily difficult, requiring numerous updates and multiple restarts.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 tells the story of a CIA agent who's been stripped of their spy skills and tasked with overthrowing a shady paramilitary group.
The game includes numerous undercover levels set in political fundraisers, snowbound compounds, a baroque casino, and other locations.
The game borrows heavily from other FPS games, including Far Cry, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege, and Metro Exodus.
The game's character upgrades are ineffectual, with unlockable perks offering little discernible difference in gameplay.
The campaign features villainous monologues, scripted waves of enemies, and overt military propaganda.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 is essentially a taster menu of other, better games, with its impressive graphics and sound failing to mask its derivative gameplay.
The game remains popular with casual gamers, but for serious gamers it lacks the depth and innovation of other FPS games on the market.
