Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is about having fun – in the most hyperactive way possible. The 22nd installment of the Call of Duty series is a companion piece to last year’s Black Ops 6, and while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it kicks it right off its axis with a near five-hour story campaign that is Black Ops 2 meets the “new weird” genre, a larger round-based version of Zombies called Ashes Of The Damned, and a refined approach to multiplayer that is anchored by the best map selection of Call of Duty’s modern era. It’s relentless and absurd most of the time, but Black Ops 7 is an approachable action shooter designed for any playstyle that’s lobbed in its direction.
