Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 review Official Review Guide

Impressive 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
