If you haven’t played this game since its launch try it out again!! Wow this game got so much better since its release. Techland has been taking their time with the game and listening to the community’s feedback and delivering awesome updates. There’s a lot that’s been added to this game and this 1 year later review is gonna be longer than the Harry Potter book trilogy. So let’s start with new end game content. At the release of the game there was not much to do after beating the main story but now there’s lots to do. There are chapters which basically are bounties you can do that are actually decent and when completing them you can reputation points to a certain chapter agent and get a token each level. Those tokens can be spent on powerful weapons, resources, outfits and paraglider skins. There are a total of 2 chapters in the game now but just recently on April 20th brought something called the pilgrim outpost which is a website that expands on the bounties and gives even better rewards. It’s the same system as the chapters but better. The combat has been improved massively. The weapon animations feel better and satisfying which makes you feel like you brutally beating a zombie or bandit. The gore got upgraded to be even more brutal. You can see where you weapon hit a zombie and if you hit them in a certain spot it got slice or break off a pieces of flesh and bones. If you can grabbed by a certain to break off by punching them you ca literally break off their whole chin when doing that. There’s another grab animation where you kick off the zombie but when kicking them makes a hole in their stomach revealing their organs and hearing a hissing sound which is their lungs being damage. The sounds have been improved and slices and beating zombies sounds almost realistic. Gear transmog has been added recently which if you don’t know it’s basically picking a outfit that has good stats but if you want to change the look of the outfit piece with a different outfit piece you can and it will keep those same stats without changing them. Night has been improved seeing more volatiles and other special infected but later in June 2023 there will be a massive improvement in the night. Parkour still feels the same but there are a few different animations that feel better but in June 2023 there will also be a massive parkour improvement. The 1st story dlc came out in November 2022 which takes place before the end of the main game story where you qualify for a tournament in something called the carnage hall where you climb the ranks to defeat someone called skull face who planned to destroy the city. The story was ok but the different challenges and rewards were cool. This game has been improved so much and it’s honestly so much better now. If you haven’t played since its launch I recommend coming back and trying it out. If you never bought the game and are planning to I would for it to be like 50% off or 20% off. 9/10 for me.

Man what a let down… after 10 years of development we get a mid zombie game. Before I saw all the bad things I’ll share some of the good things about this game which is only like 3 things. 1: the gore. The gore feels like is where most of the development went in to. Every time you hit a zombie you actually see the effect of your weapon and see the wounds. You can repeated punch a zombie and pieces of them will break off revealing their organs which is crazy. 2: the locations: the visuals in this game are stunning. Playing in Los Angeles running around different mansions in bell air and Beverly Hills. Playing in a whole movie set with different types of scenery. Venice beach which looks identical to real life. Santa Monica pier which also looks very identical to real life. There’s also sewers and a metro station that you can play in but they’re not my favorite. The best looking location is Hollywood boulevard, the scenery is beautiful but it’s the final location you play in at the end of the game. 3: the gas cans, water cans, and caustic gas cans. The detail that was put into the physics of the cans are cool. You can pour water onto the ground and get a car battery to make the water electrified and zombies will be electrocuted when they walk on it. Put gasoline onto the ground and light it up on fire and burns zombies(you could also pour water on the fire to get rid of the fire and on the caustic gas liquid). The caustic gas is cool which melts the zombies but some of the zombies could be immune to it. That’s pretty much what I like about the game but not there’s a lot that I that don’t like or absolutely hate. 1: THERES LIKE NO ZOMBIES IN A ZOMBIE GAME. Literally at almost every location there is like no zombies to be found, you have to walk a while to find some. You may get lucky a find a pack of 4 or 5 but that’s pretty much it. The most zombies that are in an area are usually in story missions coming in as waves of them but that’s locked in story missions. 2. Repeating zombies types in boss fights. The boss fights in this game have like no care to them. The boss fights in this game are the same zombie types you fight in the game millions of times just with a different name above them. The final boss is LITERALLY A ZOMBIE TYPE YOU FIGHT A MILLION TIMES IN THE GAME. 3: The Story: my god one of the worst story’s in the past few years. It’s probably the most basic story ever. You get bit but oh look you’re immune and you’re special so people want to create a vaccine with your blood to SAVE THE WORLD but of course the person that wants to make a cure is a bad guy. Literally a basic and boring story like I just wanted to get it done fast. The ending was so bad like your character decides to stay and not get out of La. It was stunning and made me laugh on how bad the ending and the story was. 4: Character dialogue. Now I know this a not a big deal but the characters and their dialogue are just awful. The characters you play as beside like one just make the most awful jokes from like 2013 it gets annoying. 5: the combat. The combat feels slow but it also feels satisfying at the same time. When hitting a zombie and seeing the affect on them is what makes the combat good. It’s not great but it’s good combat. So yeah… this game is not good. It was overhyped so much. Now some people do enjoy the game and that’s fine but if you are thinking of buying it I would wait until it’s like 75% off because $70 is way to much for this atrocity.

OMG this is game is the best zombies game ever…. SPOILERS AHEAD!! The parkour, combat, map everything about the game is amazing!!! Dying light has a great story and the main protagonist which we play as is Kyle Crane. The parkour is amazing to have in a zombies game because if you have weak weapons and a bunch of zombies on you, just start climbing a building. If you are out in the open with no buildings that’s a different story. The nighttime is really scary. Volitels are the mutated zombies that only roam at night. If your spotted all of them start chasing you. The combat is amazing. You have your standard guns but also melee. There are swords, daggers, machetes, baseball bats etc… plus there are combat moves you can unlock in the skill trees. The map in dying light is awesome. You start out in the slums, a city that the virus started in, then a little bit in the game you go to “Old Town” another city that has stronger infected. Then a year after the games release, a dlc drops called “The Following” it takes place in the countryside with the strongest infected. It also introduces driving. The sad thing is it concludes Kyle Cranes story in dying light. There are 2 ending which crane doesn’t survive any of them.

Call of duty vanguard got me excited for a while because it was bringing back Mw2019 movement and improving it but after it came out I was disappointed… Campaign was really short and the story was boring. The story tells about a task force called “Task Force Vanguard”. The campaign gave us different mission about the character in task force vanguard and sledgehammer is like forcing you to connect with the characters. Multiplayer has some good maps but the bad things are is that almost all the guns are overpowered especially shotguns. Dad haus is one of those maps that help you grind camos and level up weapons. But it’s hard to do that because of the shotguns. You can literally one shot someone almost across the map with a shotgun. Don’t get me started with zombies. Vanguard zombies is the worst zombies experience in cod history. NO ROUND BASE MAP AT LAUNCH BUT THEY PUT A MAP WITH ONLY 4 objectives and you have to keep on playing the same ones every time! No pack a lunch camo at the start and YOU CANT EVEN PAUSE THE GAME. So this was my Call of Duty Vanguard review… it is not a great game in my opinion.

I really like this game but there are some flaws… Campaign is great but is shorter than Mw2019 and other past cods. Multiplayer is great but the sbmm is what ruins it a little. Zombies is fun but the lack of content makes it boring after a while. The good things are that the campaign tells a great story and the characters are well written. Multiplayer has great maps and classics like Nuketown, Express, etc. Zombies has good maps but are mostly campaign remakes, there are fun modes for zombies like outbreak, jingle hells, onslaught (Onslaught was all right). So yeah this is my COD: Black Ops Cold War review. I did make this after all the seasons came out for this game.
