For me, videogames are about escaping into fantasy. I want to dive into sprawling realms as a pretty elven assassin or prowl the plains of Diablo 4’s Sanctuary in search of Prime Evils and demonic entities. While I had a soft spot for life games like The Sims as a kid, I’ve never really cared for anything set in a recognizable version of our own world. Call of Duty has always fallen into that same category, not helped by my degrees in genocide history and war studies. I’ve never quite been able to divorce my logical mind from the fact that CoD is, indeed, a fictional videogame with a historical setting, versus a historical videogame with fictionalized elements. So while Black Ops 6‘s ’90s backdrop piqued my interest, I was pretty happy to sit it out.
