Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

The plot and story feels like the BO1 sequel we never got Gone are futuristic plots and high concept tech, instead we get a grounded mostly well written and performed Cold War piece of fiction, the vibe fits, it's beautiful to look at and plays well.

The writing is a massive step up and probably the best COD campaign in at least 4 years (IW had a great campaign and nothing else)

Level design is varied and intuitive and puzzle solving with random generated codes to crack to complete side ops adds a good layer of interactivity and makes you think.

This isn't a mindless shooter, it tries to push some new ideas and come cool concepts. While clearly bogged down by activision's rules for what they can do and the recasting of Mason and Wood's VA's is horrendous.

Overall it delivers what treyarch has not in 10 years

A quality and replayable campaign that can thoroughly grip the player from start to finish.
