Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Oh boy. I know there are folks who are furious—furious!— about this game making it so high up on the list!. Here’s the thing: I get it. Advanced Warfare changed the franchise in some big ways. You could now double jump! And dash around in different directions. It felt amazing and it is still one of the CoDs I’ve put the most hours into, playing it for months and months after release. The campaign was great too, though it does star Kevin Spacey. At the time I liked him in the game a lot. He hams it up, but in a way that works and helps sell his character as this dangerous, militarized Elon Musk type. Today, however, seeing Spacey isn’t great. But I don’t think it’s fair to hold that against Advanced Warfare
