Описание: Welcome back to Ferret64, your weekly destination for video game reviews, industry news, and first impressions! In this episode, I dive into the shockingly bad experience that is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, wrap up my final thoughts on Ghost of Yotei, and continue pushing through Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. After that, we jump into a busy week of gaming headlines — including new Steam hardware, Nintendo’s latest controversy, Bungie’s struggles, Japan’s State of Play showcase, Metroid updates, and more. Finally, we close out with the latest Coming Soon announcements featuring Metroid Prime 4, Ratchet & Clank, and Horizon: Steel Frontiers.

🎮 What I’ve Been Playing

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Full deep-dive on why it’s the worst Call of Duty to date. Bad campaign, bad mechanics, terrible character rewrites, and awful design choices.
• Ghost of Yotei – Final verdict: strong start, but rushed pacing, repetitive mission design, and a weaker narrative compared to Ghost of Tsushima.
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment – More impressions, great combat flow, tons of characters, fun territory control, and how it compares to Dynasty Warriors Origins.
