HIGH The upgraded Be a Pro is a huge improvement.
LOW Player models are showing their age.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Review

LOW …in a severely half-baked, racist and politically screwed-up package.

Alone Together: Fragmentation And The Forever Game

WTF I had way more falling puns for the tagline.
Rocket Arena Review
I Wanna Rock(et) And Roll All Night
HIGH A creative combo of styles rolled into an online shooter.
LOW The playerbase numbers, apparently.
