Call of Duty Black Ops 6 campaign review - nonsensical, but surprisingly intimate psyop thriller is a blast
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign is a return to form for the series, mixing the usual slightly unsavoury set dressing with cracking action and ironic charm.
Another goes full horror - in now-typical Black Ops style - toying with reality via psychedelic drugs-slash-biological-weapons in a deeply eerie, underground government research facility with the faded scientific utopian vibes of a BioShock, or more recently (and perhaps more appropriately for the weird moral ambiguity at hand) something like Atomic Heart. This is quite simply CoD but with lots of space: you arrive with a fully kitted-out sniper rifle you can get from travelling to a nearby, pre-marked waypoint for a cheeky chappy SAS bloke who gives it to you for free, alongside magical location tracking of every enemy in sight and out. The usual mess of pseudo-historical wartime scenery, unnecessary real-world references and deeply muddled morality logic sits there in plain sight, next to a rip-roaring, bombastic, hugely enjoyable blitz of action, laced with a story of brainwashing, uncertainty and propaganda.
