Critics Consensus

Call of Duty: Vanguard is a solid but unremarkable entry in the franchise – one that will hold up for the year ahead, but probably not any longer. The campaign is full of epic moments, and multiplayer is slick, but there’s nothing here that you haven’t seen before.

7/10
Simon Cardy (IGN)

Call of Duty Vanguard’s highly polished campaign provides a healthy amount of fun, even if its brief length and lack of variety lead it to fall short of the classic pieces of war cinema it’s trying to emulate.

November 5, 2021 |

Vanguard won’t join the pantheon of Call of Duty games, but it’s a decent stop-gap for those waiting for Modern Warfare’s return.

Daniel Tack (Game Informer)

Vanguard is an overall solid pick with a lackluster campaign, a nascent but incredibly promising zombies experience, and multiplayer with a few critical new aspects.
