The best PC games of 2018: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

It’s hard to believe that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is one of the best of triple-A releases on PC this year. This is the fourth entry in a subseries of games, which are part of a much larger series that has released in broadly the same form every year for, what, over a decade now? Few expected Treyarch to be as forward-thinking and nimble in developing and updating Black Ops 4 as it has been, but the proof is in Blackout. Ditching a single-player campaign in favour of a battle royale mode was a bold move, but one that absolutely paid off. Blackout is the most fun I’ve ever had in a Call of Duty game. Sure, you can see a lot of magpieing from PUBG in its core components, but Blackout builds on them with plenty of its own lunacy, like whole areas of the map packed with zombies, helicopters, and perks. Beyond that, it’s the blistering pace of Blackout that has me returning to it every night of the week, playing well into the early hours of the morning. You move about at speeds reminiscent of Quake III Arena and none of the game’s mechanics try to get in your way. Need to get down from a cliff or tall building? Leap off the side and wingsuit to the ground in less than a second. Low on health but need to keep moving to avoid the shrinking circle? You can heal while sprinting.
