This is exclusively my opinion formed around the early days of the game and around season 1 so it might be worth revisiting nowadays and if I do the following will be edited.
Didn't played the campaign yet, the multiplayer was disappointing in a lot of ways even if it tried to be more like a traditional call of duty it had several technical and mechanical flaws that really crippled its full potential which were never changed even though the fully arcade and cartoony philosophy of Treyarch is appreciated for what it is.
Zombies, however. Is something that at first would sound like a terrible idea but the execution was done in such a way that made it work, even though the progression on every single match might feel repetitive if you want to advance to high rounds it gave more purpose to the moment to moment gameplay giving it more usage to your resources instead of just sitting with a high amount of points on higher rounds.
Cold War is this unfortunate half baked rushed product of a greedy company that can't settle themselves to take a year off. I have nothing but respect for Treyarch for what they were able to accomplish in the midst of a worldwide pandemic even if it wasn't a title I enjoyed much. Zombies was a very pleasant new experience but I can't say the same of the rest of the package.
Would I recommend it? If you're a diehard zombies fan it's more than likely that you already have it but even then I'd still recommend it solely for that, the multiplayer is not my preference given what I pointed out but if you are looking for that arcade style formula then go for it, unfortunately this time it didn't sit well for me.
