Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

There's a massive amount of content in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, though especially if you played Black Ops 3 last year there’s little of it that’s particularly impressive. The campaign is ignorable and the multiplayer needs a little technical work to be as good as last year’s, but the overly silly Zombies mode keeps me coming back. It may not stand out in a year that’s been crowded with great shooters, but it still produces that familiar Call of Duty action.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare isn’t comparable to Battlefield 1, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. While BF1 focuses on emotion and the brutality of war, the Infinite Warfare campaign is about as Hollywood as it comes with explosions, collapsing buildings and gorgeous planets offering stunning backdrops for your firefights – but that’s not to say there’s no emotion involved. Anti-gravity gunfights are a lot more exciting than first imagined and the space dog-fighting was not only easy to pick up, but extremely intuitive and enjoyable. The introduction of celebrities like Kit Harington in the campaign provides more depth to the character, while also making it a little easier to relate, or at least understand, the situation at hand.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare arrives in a very crowded marketplace surrounded by competition. Never has the FPS genre had so many quality games launching in such a short space of time. Usually, CoD arrives like any cool kid to a party; fashionably late and steals the show. Unfortunately, despite a stellar campaign and outstanding visuals, Infinite Warfare not only fails to go toe-to-toe with 2016’s best bangers, but can’t even compete with its own stablemates, most notably the one that comes bundled in the £70 box.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare occasionally rubs elbows with the best moments of its predecessors, but too much tedium and half-baked multiplayer make this one hard to recommend.
