Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (Xbox One/SX)

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War liefert eine der besten Kampagnen der letzten Jahre ab und erweitert den beliebten Zombie-Modus sehr gelungen. Auch wenn die Kampagne wirklich kurz ausgefallen ist und die neuen Multiplayer-Modi nicht ganz überzeugen, bekommen Call of Duty Fans wieder das gewohnte Gesamtpaket und dürfen sich auf kostenlose Upgrades in der Zukunft freuen.

With stripped back mechanics and an underwhelming set of maps, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer is somewhat of a backwards step for the series.

From its shadowy story campaign to its frantic multiplayer action, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War offers the thrilling and magnetic gameplay expected of the series, shined up with solid character models, impressive vistas, and sharp visual effects. While there's undeniably room for improvement regarding innovation, Black Ops Cold War gets Call of Duty's third generation off to a strong start.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a decent entry in the series, but it feels like it doesn't quite know what it wants to be. The campaign is full of underused ideas, while the multiplayer misses some of the magical charm of Modern Warfare, opting for faster paced aggressive battles which just don’t feel as satisfying. While still enjoyable,

Cold War's quiet times are more memorable than the loud ones, even if the story’s ambition outweighs its execution.

Call of Duty goes back to the 80's with a captivating campaign.
