An evening that was meant to last an hour, and the sun coming up.

The profile says it all at once. Fun explodes, ahead of 97% of games, and controller pleasure follows, ahead of 83% of titles. It is tight, it is sharp, it answers instantly. But look at the desert island line: ahead of only 16% of games. Nobody takes it when they have to pick a single title for life. That is the tension in Black Ops III: it is brilliant in the moment, it weighs nothing once you step back. Art direction stays low, the soundtrack sits around average, attachment slightly above, each on few votes, so treat those as unconfirmed.

This is exactly the deal a great multiplayer shooter offers: the loop is perfect, the feel is immediate, and the military sci-fi setting fades into the background. What matters is the next match.

So, who is it for? For you if you love aim that sticks to your fingers, short matches back to back, and zombies with friends. Much less if you want a game that marks you and that you carry with you.
