Call of Duty: Vanguard delivers refined shooting mechanics and strong multiplayer and Zombies modes, but its single-player campaign suffers from a disjointed narrative and uneven pacing. The game feels like a competent but underdeveloped entry in the franchise.

Acclaimed 3.5/5

“While it adds some interesting new features to the Call of Duty formula, Vanguard's mixed bag of changes makes it a forgettable entry.”

Mixed 3/5
