Black Ops Royale is more of a Treyarch-flavored Warzone than it is Blackout 2, but it’s still pretty fun Call of Duty

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 review Official Review GuideImpressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.
Black Ops 7 expands on Black Ops 6 with an enhanced, less sweaty multiplayer offering and more Zombie-killing fun, but a forgettable co-op campaign that leads into the exciting new Endgame mode prevents it from being a true top-tier Call of Duty.
Pros
- A massive, varied package that feels like multiple games in one
- Multiplayer feels excellent with lower skill-based matchmaking
- Zombies mode is still quite deep and expansive
- Endgame offers a unique, second PvE option
- Overall progression is tied to everything you do
Cons
- Campaign is short, uninteresting, and uneventful
- Reduced multiplayer SBMM is not guaranteed to last and may alienate low-skilled players
- A third year in a row of Zombies brings some fatigue
- Co-op is a big focus across all modes, so solo play feels unideal
