Black Ops 6 nicely balances an action-packed campaign, lively multiplayer, and a refreshing take on Zombies. The game combines great visuals and gameplay, proving once again why Call of Duty remains a powerhouse in the gaming industry. While some technical hiccups and issues with multiplayer suppress the fun, the sensational controls and production values make it hard to put down.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the complete package, a great single-player campaign, best in class first-person shooter gameplay, fun fast-paced multiplayer and the return of round-based zombies.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6's multiplayer suite is excellent, complimented by the great (and often hilarious) omnimovement system and the return of classic prestige. This is the best Call of Duty has been in a long time.

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, is another Call of Duty game. It's everything you've come to expect from one at this point. A solid, if underwhelming single-player campaign that doesn't push the bar in any way but doesn't have any real major faults either. Tacked onto a live-service multiplayer experience that is more or less the same as its predecessors.

With a fresh and varied campaign and the fantastic omni-movement system, Black Ops 6 is another solid entry in the juggernaut franchise that refuses to go gentle into that good night

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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 aims to please Call of Duty fans of every kind, with three stacked modes - campaign, multiplayer and Zombies - that all have enough going for them to satisfy all Call of Duty fans. Omni-movement is a fantastic addition to the routine gameplay that feels like a natural evolution not just for CoD titles but FPS games in general. However, each mode isn't without its frustrations: the campaign stalls the action a little too often, the Zombies mode can get a tad repetitive and the multiplayer maps vary a little too drastically in quality. Still, this is Call of Duty as it's known and loved. Franchise enthusiasts will likely be satisfied.

By being given four years of development time the developers at Raven Software have spread their wings and laid one gem of a shooter. Arguably, the best campaign in the franchise’s history is presented as the main dish with the multiplayer and Zombies modes adding zest to this well-cooked package.

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.

With a wonderfully diverse campaign, hyperactive multiplayer, and a super replayable Zombies mode, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a brilliant showcase and the best franchise entry in a while.
