PC, PS4/5, Xbox; ActivisionA band of inglorious stereotypes go on a covert mission to uncover a Nazi plan in a traditional instalment of the series

There is always a sense of deju vu with Call of Duty games. For almost 20 years, they have led us through so many bombed-out cities, treacherous canyon passes and collapsing multi-storey buildings, the whole run now merges into one apocalyptic mega battle. By taking us back to the origin of the series – the second world war – Vanguard hammers this sense of familiarity home. This is a very traditional, extremely familiar and almost nostalgic Call of Duty instalment.
