Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a mostly enjoyable experience with a fun Campaign and Zombies maps, though multiplayer needs more work. It may not reinvent the wheel or rise to the series' greatest heights, but after last year, it's a massive improvement.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, although not without its faults, is far and away the best Call of Duty game to release in almost a decade.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a spectacular return to form, after Modern Warfare 3 fumbled blurring the line between expansion and sequel. We were ready for something different, and that’s exactly what it has delivered with speedy and satisfying multiplayer and a highly engaging and well-paced espionage thriller campaign that’s one of the best in the Call of Duty series. With excellent gunplay across all modes and an addictive combat loop, Black Ops 6 is the best Call of Duty game so far this console generation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign is a worthwhile successor to Cold War that continues to push the cart along with its exciting geopolitical thriller-branded espionage. Treyarch better than anyone understands better than anyone having found a few, ingenious means of incorporating Call of Duty's larger suite of modes into this punchy, mind-bending ride. More than that, it should serve as a beg-pardon for last year's unfortunate business.

Altogether, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a return to form for a franchise that has struggled to regain its footing over the past several years. This is a strong entry in the franchise and deserves your full attention. Black Ops 6 certainly doesn't have the best campaign or multiplayer in the franchise, but it does what Call of Duty does best, and is thus in the upper echelon of the series. Now go raise hell in the Persian Gulf and nab those juicy killstreak combo medals to rejoice in Call of Duty returning into the book of good graces.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may not represent the pinnacle of the series or the start of a new era, but it firmly halts the franchise's steady decline, delivering a quality entry-arguably the best in the past decade. The campaign is surprisingly engaging and varied, though not quite on par with the series' top classics, and the same holds true for the zombie mode. With more focus on innovation and map quality in multiplayer, the game could have reached even higher scores, but there's room for improvement with post-launch updates. Overall, it's an unexpected return to form.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may lack the innovative gameplay and changeable pace that the Modern Warfare series is known for, but in an era where developers big and small chase novelty and change, it stands out for its commitment to stability and tradition. Ultimately, it delivers a solid entry in the Call of Duty franchise that fans will appreciate.

The campaign is a fresh new experience that ties the events from previous Black Ops titles together in a creative and fun way. Multiplayer shows promise with its changes to movement and weapon variety; it could use some more open or bigger maps but as it is, can still be a fun experience.

An extremely strong comeback from the series that hit rock bottom with MW3 last year.

A very well presented, spy intrigue that was built on good foundations and opens the way for future stories. A very positive surprise.

While Black Ops 6 may not introduce radical changes in every aspect compared to its predecessor-something we don't typically expect from annual game releases-it still delivers an incredibly satisfying experience. The storyline is engaging, the zombie mode brings excitement with its return to the rounds system, and the multiplayer mode features an innovative movement system that sets the stage for future gameplay.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is the best Call of Duty in recent years and proof that the creators of this series need a 4-year development period. The story part of Black Ops 6 appears at the level of the best of the entire series, and with an attractive narrative and amazing gameplay, it creates a memorable experience for fans. The Zombies section is finally getting the attention it deserves from creators and fans, and both maps released are on high quality and unique. The multiplayer section has strong basic mechanics and sandbox elements, despite the problems of diversity in modes and maps, fortunately, the most fatal problems of this section are solvable, and Treyarch studio can fix many of them during the coming seasons.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 may not offer anything we haven't seen in the series. Still, it makes a solid effort to combine fantastic single-player, multiplayer, and zombie modes with engaging shooting mechanisms to create one of the best Call of Duty packages in recent years.

Overall, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is exactly the version Call of Duty needed to reassert itself; an engaging campaign, a zombie mode that returns to its roots and is really exciting, a multiplayer mode based on the successful formula of this series in recent years that can keep you entertained for a long time and The Omnimovement system are all positive features that make it easy to recommend the Black Ops 6 experience to any Call of Duty fan and first-person shooter lovers in general.

Overall, we got a surprisingly good Call of Duty this year, and it's exactly what the series needed after the last very weak Modern Warfare III installment. It offers a very impressive campaign with some unique missions, but also a nice return of the zombies back to the basics of attacking in waves, and the massive multiplayer part has been brought to life nicely by omnimovement.

Overall then, Black Ops 6 features a really good campaign mode that's certainly worth the download on Xbox Game Pass. The story has a lengthy runtime — roughly eight hours at least — and is crammed full of interesting, varied missions - including one huge surprise that left us with a cheeky grin as we played through it. This is a big step up from the other COD campaign currently available on Game Pass in MW3, and fans of big, bombastic AAA experiences should have a right old blast with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a breath of fresh air for the series after the disastrous Modern Warfare III. In multiplayer, it makes use of the best aspects of the past to create a very entertaining experience, and as much as the campaign was disappointing narratively, it is undeniable that there was an effort to add variety and longevity to the mode. While not perfect, this game demonstrates - both in and out of game - that there is still room for Call of Duty to reinvent itself. With the progression of the overall design and the game's availability on Game Pass, I can feel optimistic for the first time about the future of the series.
