Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (PS4)

Date Purchased: November 18, 2018
Date Completed: N/A
Price:  $54.99 (had $25 gift card)

I was peer pressured into buying this game by a friend and coworker of mine. The blackout mode did have me intrigued, but the primary multiplayer and zombies mode don't interest me too much/at all.  After 6 weeks with the game, the same holds true, I continue to return to Black Ops 4, but it's solely for their battle royale mode and not any of the others.

I enjoyed Fortnite enough, but when the building became so much more than just a way to reach an area, or for quick cover, I quickly found myself unable to compete on any level. Blackout takes everything that interests me in a battle royale mode and executes it perfectly.  I've spent a lot of hours in a squad and solo playing the mode.  Each experience different.   I've yet to win, but have felt the rush of being in the top 2 players remaining.  Graphics and sound are standard Call of Duty affair, there have been so many COD games this gen, they look good, but all quite similar.

They're now selling this game without zombies for $40 on PC, I wish they'd release Blackout as a standalone mode, should they I'd absolutely recommend that mode.  But having to pay $80 for a game you're only interested in 1/3 of?  Pass.
