Call of Duty: Vanguard (2021 Video Game)
4/10
I had low expectations, Vanguard was even worse than expected.

Campaign, boring story that sets up a second game. Basically all you do is play a bunch of stories of different characters past, and these characters together need to team up and beat the token Nazi bad guy in the end. The characters are bland and boring, they are friends from the beginning. No drama, no spice to the relationships between the characters. There are no collectibles, there is a bunch of scripted gameplay, you have to always follow the chosen and scripted path. The AI is dumb. The campaign is also very short, it takes about only 4-6 hours depending on how fast you are, (half of the time you basically just watch cutscenes). The only good thing I can say is that the graphics are the best in any COD game so far, (at least on PS5), and that the cutscenes are really well made, they basically look just like a movie. Campaign overall is really bland, and definitely does not do anything new we haven't seen before.

Multiplayer is OK, the time to kill is really fast, meaning that you only need better reflexes than the guy trying to kill you. There are a lot of maps (20) at launch. And now you can chose how many players there should be in your lobbies, meaning that you can chose how fast paced you want to play. There is also a new game mode, it's basically hard point but the POI is constantly moving around.

Zombies is so barebones this year. There is ONE map, NO Easter Egg, NO playable characters, NO wonder weapon, NO ray gun. You can't pause the game on solo, after three minutes of not playing (when going for a bathroom break) you get KICKED from YOUR SOLO GAME for being inactive.

This is one of the most generic Call of Duty's ever made, it's even worse than average. Nothing new to add, nothing to say. I do not recommend this game, not even on a sale. 4/10.
