This game ranks amongst the best in Zombies history. Coming out right after the peak of Zombies, both in popularity and critical response, in Black Ops 3, Infinite Warfare had some large shoes to fill. The story of the Zombies experience is pretty middling and uninteresting, but it allowed the writers to take players through a list of very different maps and locations: an 80s theme park, a 90s Friday the 13th location, a disco- and martial arts-themed New York City set in the 1970s, a California town based on 50s Americana, and a map set in the future, largely ripped from the campaign. This is very different from the generic "facility" maps that we see in modern CoD Zombies. The maps are filled with so much soul and care. The developers carefully tuned the music, the outfits of the characters, the HUD, the unlockable "special guest characters" who have ties to the film era of the chosen decade, and the zombies' outfit catalogue. Each map feels wholly distinct from the others. The Easter egg quests and bosses are also very different across each map, making each map worth revisiting. The gameplay is also based on the classic Zombies formula. Zombies are slower than the player, it's quite easy to train zombie hordes, and there is no annoying shield or scrap system. This is the peak system before Treyarch began changing the gameplay formula and flow in Black Ops 4. I can't stress enough how great of a Zombies experience this is. Getting the deluxe version of this game with the season pass is a must because of the great maps on offer. With the DLC, you receive the Director's Cut mode, which completely changes the way the game is played. The only large downside to this game is the pay-to-win system put in the game, where some weapons have "variants" that perform much better than the stock weapon, allowing you to beat bosses and go into higher rounds with far more ease (Mauler Sentinel, UDM Stalker, Oni Kaiken, Type-2 Butcher, etc.). The game is also capped at 90 FPS, which can be really annoying for people used to higher refresh rates. I haven't even played the campaign and I can say that this game (digital deluxe version) is worth the cost when it goes on sale ($33).
