I did not like this game. I didn't expect a lot of it and it still failed to meet my expectations.
Advanced Warfare wasn't great but at least the jetpack mechanics were used to some extent. Here, it was criminally underutilized. I think this game relied too much on jet fights and Zero-G sections, which didn't feel particularly good tbh.
The plot is the weakest ever. This one was plain and literally apology of colonization, despite Infinity Ward trying their best to make the SDF look ridiculously hateable, almost a caricature of a totalitarian terror group/state. Given the situation it almost made sense they tried to join forces with the other colonies and fight against the "Earth government" but, of course, they wrote the game so evidently there was going to be expansionist desires, forced enlistment, terrorist attacks against civilians, etc.
IMHO they kinda missed the point they were trying to make or they didn't expand enough the lore to make SDF claims invalid.
After this one I think I can forgive all the other CoD games.
