SINGLE PLAYER ONLY:

Black Ops Cold War feels like the reimagination of the Black Ops 1, with similar missions, locations and characters, but it is also a continuation of the original.

The structure of the missions are insanely fun, with some very surprising twists and turns, providing a much needed refreshment to the series. I feel like the ending is probably the best from recent CODs and that is saying a lot.

I liked the fresh, Doom style animations, even though I did not even care for the bodyshield system, and I feel like it is a very weak gimmick.

Addler and his group are entertaining, well written with great VAs, and I really liked to see the dynamic between Woods and Mason again.

Overall, Cold War is just a simple and fun game, that you can enjoy even if you skipped the previous titles. You might miss some references, but the story is self contained enough to be enjoyable on it's own.
