Call of Duty Black Ops IV is the tragic tale of a franchise losing its identity at a time when gaming was less than a year away from a revolution that would change the way people engage with multiplayer games forever.

The Pale Beyond's stunning visuals and engaging narrative feel wasted on a game with such an unrewarding gameplay loop and unintuitive UI.
Titanium Hound could have been a good game, but the developer's assistance on uniquely bad mechanics makes it impossible for me to recommend it to anyone, let alone fans of the genre.
