Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reviews round-up – can this old dog handle new tricks?

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is going boldly where the franchise has never gone before. But will it leave behind what made it great?

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reviews have begun to trickle in even as the shooter goes live with the shifting timezones.

Not too many big outlets had a full review ready for the embargo today. Disclosures show some are based on a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare review event, rather than live play, and there are a few “in progress” articles in there pending the servers going live.

From what I've read, skimming over the few critiques below, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a lot more like a classic Call of Duty than all the science fiction stuff might have suggested, but the new setting opens up unexplored story opportunities. For some critics this is a point worth praising, while for others it's a bit of a downer since they'd like to see something new from the campaign.

Well, it's all subjective, innit? Check out the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reviews below, find a voice most closely aligned with your preferences, and be informed. Assuming you didn't pre-order six months ago, of course.
