Early Call of Duty Vanguard review verdict
Call of Duty is always a tricky one to review. After all, it’s usually very similar to the last game – with a few key changes here and there.
But it’s a tried-and-tested format that obviously works, and is both widely loved and relentlessly played. Why fix what isn’t broken?
If you’ve liked every other Call of Duty game, you’ll like this. Don’t let the WW2 branding fool you – it’s as fact-paced as any Modern Warfare title.
The addition of destructible environments is really welcome, and the weapons feel great – although balance will always be an issue.
So far, the Campaign feels compelling. You become invested in the lead characters very quickly, and the settings are as glorious and cinematic as you’d hope for. It’s very easy to see how you’re getting your money’s worth here.
Warzone remains to be seen, but it’s also a free add-on and doesn’t require Vanguard. And so while you’re sure to spend dozens of hours in Warzone this year, its quality shouldn’t really have huge bearings on whether you buy the main game.
Only you’ll know whether Vanguard is worth the money.
