Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Campaign Review

Review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Single-Player Campaign

Note: This review specifically covers the single-player campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. For our thoughts on the other modes, see our multiplayer review in progress – and for Zombies, stand by!

A spy thriller worthy of the name, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s campaign is a hugely welcome reinvigoration of the long-running first-person shooter series. It looks back at what has historically made the best CoD single-player modes so great and throws its own exciting and novel ideas into the mix, to fantastic effect. Telling one of the most engaging stories the series has ever seen, Black Ops 6’s enticing variety and impressive scale provide a stellar return to form.

Evolution of Call of Duty Campaigns

Ever since the 2003 original, CoD campaigns have been heavily influenced by military action movies – starting in a logical place with classic WW2 cinema like The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan before moving on to more contemporary influences, in particular the panoramic yet still claustrophobic camerawork of Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down.
