The Call of Duty: Vanguard release date has now arrived, and reviews for the latest instalment of the long-running FPS game series have begun rolling in, giving us an idea of what to expect - and whether it'll be worth your hard-earned pennies. So, let's take a look at what the critics have made of the new CoD.
Let's kick off with this orange site right here's Call of Duty: Vanguard review. Our own Ian Boudreau scores it a healthy eight-out-of-ten, noting that developer Sledgehammer Games has "return[ed] to World War II with a very different approach". Ian concludes that, "opting for pulp fantasy over Spielbergian reverence for the era, Vanguard reinvigorates the World War II setting and charts a new path forward".
Gamespot puts it a little lower on the scale, giving it a seven-out-of-ten. The highlights cited in the review include the Vanguard multiplayer mode's destructible environments, great-feeling guns, meaningful loadouts and Gunsmith customisation, and positive changes to Zombies, which "make the mode more approachable", among other things. Negatives mentioned include the feeling that "some campaign missions are much weaker than others, especially when pushing out of the usual pop-and-shoot approach", characters not really feeling distinct enough, and Zombies "missing the story-focused puzzle box elements that make the mode great".
