Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
111 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing custom maps and older zombies maps with your buddies is still quite fun, and while multiplayer is not my favorite, It is still enjoyable and can be played without going through microtransaction or quest completetion hell.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s endless replayability, and that’s not an exaggeration.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It actually runs beautifully on Proton not flawless though, depending on proton versions I'd get issues like Der Eisendrache's Easter egg where the sphere in the cutscene would cause my framerate to tank to sub 30, which would be liveable if it wasn't for the issue to be in gameplay too.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With graphics that hold up to this day, a replay value that has proven itself over a decade, and an extremely tight-knit community, Black Ops III is a truly extraordinary game.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It offers fun, challenging gameplay, memorable maps like Shadows of Evil and Der Eisendrache, and plenty of replay value with Easter eggs, weapon upgrades, and co-op action.
