Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Reviews
Treyarch and Raven Software once again demonstrate their mastery by developing new installments in their beloved series. It's true that this time around there aren't many major new features, but everything it does include is extremely fun.

Black Ops 7 is Call of Duty at its most obnoxious and least enjoyable.
A shift away from single-player leaves Call of Duty with its most lopsided and homogenous entry in decades, though what it does offer is consistently good fun when accepted on its own terms.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's robust Multiplayer and Zombies offerings make up for the weaknesses of its co-op campaign.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s campaign is a wild one thanks to the scope of its ambition, but the big swings it takes don't always land, leaving it an uneven step down from last year.
The creativity that once made Call of Duty an industry trailblazer has long been forgotten.
The latest entry in the Call of Duty series gives players more ways to play the campaign than ever, to various degrees of success.
Does Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 right the ship and deliver a proper sequel to Black Ops II, or is this yet another down year for Call of Duty?
Between a dire campaign, samey multiplayer, and a pervading sense of stagnation, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is a disappointment and serves as, perhaps, the worst Call of Duty title in years.
All the fun of Zombies is not enough to spare Black Ops 7 from being the worst game in the franchise, and the only saving grace is that it might serve as a cautionary tale about complacency when managing popular franchises.
Black Ops 7 really demonstrates the difficulties of Call of Duty's yearly release schedule and going back-to-back with its sub-series. It's not as rushed-feeling as Modern Warfare III was, that's for sure, but it's also not a consistent experience. The multiplayer and Zombies are solid continuations from last year, but there's not too much excitement in that, especially after the energy-sapping co-op campaign and Endgame.

An awful campaign and a lack of innovation drag down the most content-stuffed Call Of Duty game to date, with an eye largely locked to past glories.
While there’s plenty of content on offer, Black Ops 7’s well-executed (if not overly familiar) multiplayer and Zombies modes are eclipsed by a truly baffling, nonsensical campaign. Here’s hoping that 2026’s Call of Duty manages to find its footing again and, hopefully, stick the landing.
Call of Duty Black Ops 7's multiplayer is some of the finest the series has had to offer in years. It's just a shame it's tied to a baffling, turgid, ridiculous campaign that makes a great argument for stopping Call of Duty campaigns all together. 7 games is plenty. The Black Ops series has run its course.
Plenty of players feared Black Ops 7 might fall into the same expansion-like pattern that Modern Warfare 3 did after Modern Warfare 2, and for some that concern may feel justified once the campaign's uneven execution becomes clear. The story has flashes of ambition, but its pacing and structure stop it from reaching the impact it aims for, leaving it feeling more serviceable than essential. Multiplayer steadies the ship with the sharpest and most rewarding action in the package, delivering the consistency and momentum the rest of the game struggles to match. Zombies offers a decent run with enjoyable pockets of tension, yet it also settles into familiar rhythms, creating an overall experience that lands solidly but never pushes the series forward in the way fans hoped.
Black Ops 7 delivers an ambitious, content-packed experience with mixed results. While Zombies and Multiplayer shine, the campaign struggles to find its footing.

The most ridiculous Call of Duty has ever been, all of Black Ops 7's multiplayer strengths are overshadowed by the silliest campaign in the franchise's history. It's still quality online, and the Zombies mode is as solid as ever. They don't matter quite as much, though, when a co-op campaign manages to reframe an entire release into one of stupidity.
Black Ops 7 attempts to redefine the series' historical formula with a more cohesive ecosystem, based on advanced mobility, shared progression and intertwined modes: not everything is uniform, the flaws are different, but the global result is ambitious, rich, alive.
