Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare

came back for the nostalgia of zombies, got my dcut and willard back

Fun!

This game was never given a fair chance to shine. It was hated from launch because of its futuristic setting, and its Zombies mode was largely disregarded simply because it wasn't Treyarch's work. As a result, a beautifully crafted Zombies experience never received the recognition it deserved. I'm glad to see that, nowadays, it gets far more praise from the community. The Zombies mode offers five maps, each with a completely different setting and identity. Instead of "generic bad guy facility #1 through #5," every map feels unique, memorable, and fun to explore. You can really see the love and effort that went into the game's development. It's fun, goofy, and doesn't take itself too seriously, yet it's surprisingly well-designed and incredibly enjoyable. Infinite Warfare built upon the mechanics introduced in Black Ops III and, in my opinion, improved on many of them. Every map features its own version of a Perkaholic-style reward quest, and Double Pack-a-Punch is earned through side quests rather than simply being handed to the player. Each map also introduces unique mechanics that keep the gameplay fresh and encourage experimentation. On top of that, the game delivers one fantastic boss fight after another. To this day, I believe it has the best Easter Egg rewards in Zombies history, as well as the best boss fight the mode has ever seen. Unfortunately, many players overlooked it because they had already written the game off before giving it a chance. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It's one of the most underrated Zombies experiences ever made, and it's absolutely worth your time.
