The absolute highlight of the late-game takes place in Vietnam, a mission with a well-designed looping structure that left me grinning and dumbstruck. One tasks you with playing a double agent through the famous KGB headquarters Lubynaka building, letting you solve some puzzles and come up with solutions as to how to sneak your strike team in. The best missions in the game have a “choose your own adventure” feel to them.
While your core mission is to hunt down a covert Soviet operative known as Perseus, the journey takes you all over the world and even to the recesses of the mind. Picking these bonuses doesn’t drastically change the action, but they provide a nice avenue for customization.
Subtle bonuses let you alter various aspects of your playstyle I selected traits for a higher health pool and taking less damage while stationary, allowing me to handle trading fire from cover much more easily. While the multiple ending paths you can take won’t blow you away, they’re a neat little incentive to go back and replay missions another way.Ī character creator allows you to pick several profile perks to tailor your approach to the campaign. Taking Call of Duty to these weird places has been hit-and-miss in the past, but this story resonates well as you unearth its mysteries and make choices. It starts out with a classic Call of Duty guns-blazing soiree, transitions into more of a spy-vs-spy affair, and then goes off the rails with some absolutely wild, reality-warping fare. The campaign is an enjoyable-but-short return to form for Black Ops.
