    To rank Halo Infinite among its peers in the series is a tough thing to do seeing as how different it is. This could be 343's best effort yet. The core gameplay itself is excellent, especially the grapple hook mechanic.

The core gameplay itself is excellent, especially the grapple hook mechanic. The campaign is in equal measure substancial, challenging and satisfying, despite being unable to replay story missions in its new open world format. The multiplayer is well varied in modes but dealing with lag, cheaters and progression weighs it down. Ultimately, without the campaign's co-op and multiplayer's forge, it's pretty clear that this game launched incomplete. It's further hurt by the fact that half of the game is free to begin with, and the other half is a full $60, giving less of an incentive to actually buy it. This is one of many reasons why Game Pass is such a blessing to have.… Expand

    Better last gen port than I expected but still needs some stuff worked out. Game doesn’t have a consistent frame rate, if you turn down sharpness you get better frames but then the game looks kinda blurry. On the mp side of things there is a lack of content compared to previous halos and some of the maps felt like they were playing it safe. Also mp progression could definitely use someBetter last gen port than I expected but still needs some stuff worked out.

The campaign has a great story and definitely dominates halo 4 & especially halo 5 in terms of single player. Essentially they need to bring back old mp modes, optimize it better, add forge and co-op campaign then I can give it at least an 8.5 out of 10. Would say 9/10 but I feel like 343 will continue to put out very safe map designs.… Expand

    Despite growing up with Halo and playing all the mainline games, as I've gotten older I've realised that it actually isn't very good. I suppose it's because I've played so many other games at this point that I have more to compare it against. Games have come along that have completely blown me away. Reshaping what I view to be a "good game".

I suppose it's because I've played so many other games at this point that I have more to compare it against. Games have come along that have completely blown me away. Reshaping what I view to be a "good game".

    The shooting mechanics in Halo are still great. There is still nothing like landing a perfect sticky grenade. Pure, simple joy. Its universe has an epic sense of scope that is still difficult to match. However, already I'm struggling to find things I really appreciate. In this particular entry, there is a great variety of weapons to choose from - and that's maybe the best I've got.

    The story this time out is simple, and that's to its benefit, but it's also entirely predictable, and despite the stakes being clearly high, you never really feel that weight. Master Chief has always been dull. Decent voice performances but hampered by poor writing. Shooting is fun, but the game doesn't offer much to vary its gameplay. I dread the moment in every Halo where you have to laboriously circle a pair of Hunters, and this one repeats the trick at least 3 times. Just because they're now called "Banished", the enemies are still the same as in the original Halo (some new colours maybe?). My word, did I also get sick of those fellas with the shields. Just let me shoot you!! Added a grappling hook, but it's treated as one of four equipment choices (you think I'm switching?). And what is with its range? Let me have some fun with it! Even the environments are the same as the previous Halos. They keep re-using the same door asset and corridor designs. I kept getting deja vu. This one now has boss battles though. That's new. To Halo at least. Sort of. Oh, and this one has bugs. For instance, even after googling it, and finishing the game, I still couldn't figure out when progress had actually been saved. Its checkpoint locations were very inconsistent, whatever the case.

    Whoops! I almost forgot, this one is open world. Just what we all needed. Why are all the franchises that I could rely on to be linear suddenly becoming open world. Gears of War, the Metro series, now Halo. You lose control of the pacing by making these games open world. Is the open world worth it? No. Its environment has zero diversity, the enemies are still the same, and there are no rewards or worthwhile side stories out there to be found.

    In summary, Halo is overrated. Not bad, just not great.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about the game. "Improved" graphics, however, not polished, the story is more of the same, without innovation, Halo will have to go back to the origins, otherwise, it will end.

    (Halo infinite on Xbox one for my experience) The campaign is very decent pretty much a step forward for 343 industries, however the multiplayer has a lack of content which I do not like and no it doesn’t feel like halo and the graphics is outrageously blurry on my xones but if you have Xbox one x I hope you have a decent experience.

    Game play is fun and the graphics are good, but the campaign isn't interesting enough for me to binge. The open-world is a nice try, but it feels like Far Cry, side quests everywhere, towers, mini-objectives and rpg elements that don't feel like Halo. The multiplayer lacks heavily in content and everything is behind a pay wall, Hopefully it gets better.

    Positives of the Campaign:

    - The open-world was a neat addition to the Halo formula, even if not executed perfectly - It feels good to shoot aliens. - The Weapon and Echo-216 were pretty cool. - The grappleshot and ability to throw fusion coils are literal game-changers. - It has the best boss fights in the entire Halo series - It is surprisingly well-optimized on the Xbox One,    Positives of the Campaign:

    - It has the best boss fights in the entire Halo series
    - It is surprisingly well-optimized on the Xbox One, crashing once during my first run

    The biggest positive is that the atmosphere of the interior missions felt unmistakably "Halo."

    The Campaign gets an 8/10 from me. The score would be higher, but I wanted to see:

    - Animated terminals
    - More enemy and environmental variety
    - More dedicated vehicle sequences
    - A more immersive open-world
    - Banished scarab battles

    My biggest complaint was that Heroic difficulty was way too easy, except for the final boss encounter.

    The flaws aside, 343 did a good job with the Campaign. For the first time in 10 years, I've fallen in love with Halo lore all over again, and I'm excited for what the future has in store. I hope the story DLCs maintain the same level of quality.

    The multiplayer gets a 6/10 due to the satisfying gunplay but dozens of missing features and greedy monetization system. Overall score: 7/10    … Expand
