    Great story, and the best gameplay and sandbox in the series but it it underutilized. The game lacks large scale sandbox battles such as scarab fights. Could use some quality of life fixes as well

    The gunplay feels fantastic and the pace of the fights is timed to perfection. The open world felt really expansive and I got to create a lot of my own moments. The story was an unexpected standout. Caps things off perfectly while setting the stage for the future. Loved it It’s not perfect by any means but it’s certainly for me. Hats off to 343

    Gameplay is some of the best in the series:
    Movement is smooth and shooting feels great. Bosses are well done and fairly challenging (save for a few). The games narrative falls a little short. It seems to wanna address the event before the game but it does so mostly through audio logs. However, the dynamic between Master Chief and the Weapon was interesting to follow. The Pilot also

The Pilot also becomes fairly important to the overall story. What was in there it does well, the only real criticism I have is positive if anything: I wish there was more.
    When the credits rolled I felt like there should've been so much more happening. Hopefully the DLCs will address this craving. Overall, a FANTASTIC game.

    Halo Infinite es la mejor experiencia del jefe maestro.

    Desde la banda sonora, hasta el gameplay, todo se siente más halo que nunca.

    La historia es tremenda, el mundo abierto se siente muy bien, aunque le metería más biomas y animales, los enemigos y la IA son bastante buenos y la elección del Arma y El piloto como compañía son excelentes.

    The campaign is still mission based, but it offers a unique open world which gives you the opportunity to seek out different collectibles and side objectives.

It rewards exploration on a level higher than any halo before. Not to mention how good the environments look and how fun it is to explore them. The grapple hook and the mountains call back to the urge of a skyrim player to climb as high as possible, and chances are, the player is rewarded for it, by an audio log or weapon or enemy encounter. The multiplayer doesn't feel as polished as halo 5 but 343 has shown that they will go back and improve according to feedback. The only problem I see becoming permanent is microtransactions, but those are unavoidable in a free to play game, and at least they are purely cosmetic, and there are ones you can unlock by playing the game. Also disappointed by a lack of forge and coop as well as how players can buy their way through the battle pass, but these things either can or will be remedied in the future. Expand

Let me start with the SINGLE-PLAYER campaign…. This is absolutely the most fun I have had playing a halo campaign since Reach. The intro was incredibly cinematic with music hitting at just the right moments to give you all the feels. If you’re a long time halo fan I feel like you will immediately smile hearing the score and watching the scenes play out. I am going to 100% this game for sure, I will say the open world does seem a little sparse when it comes to wild life but rescuing marines and plowing through enemy defenses is so fun. If you have a moment sneak up on enemies and listen to their dialogue please do, it is hilarious. There is a little bit of a disconnect between open world and story, if you choose to you can completely explore the ring and ignore campaign objectives so it takes you out of that cinematic experience if that’s how you choose to play. Overall I’m completely satisfied with the campaign that I am playing through my game-pass subscription (no need for 60.00 entry here) I just wish this had co-op at launch because I foresee a lot of hilarious shenanigans with friends on this halo ring come may of next year. MULTIPLAYER: this game runs smooth AF, playing on a series x and this is the best that gunplay has felt again since reach. Currently lvl 54 on multiplayer and loving the battle pass but I can see why progression is currently an issue. luckily 343 has implemented some fixes and has more on the way. People upset at micro transactions need to understand it’s F2P and all games do this, if you don’t want to pay money for cosmetics then don’t it’s that simple. But the glaring issue i see with this game and why I didn’t rate it a 10 is because the amount of playlist customization the MCC has (which is a game by 343) you think they would have implemented those search abilities for infinite… why can’t we select our own game types 343?! I love this game and am very excited to see where this story and multiplayer leads, love you halo and my halo fam. Expand

    If this game was made by Naughty Dog, story would be horrible, Weapon would kill Master Chief in first hour or so and this big bad guy would win. Thankfully it's made by 343 and story and characters are great, beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack and fun gameplay!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра в плане сюжета не такая глобальная в сравнении с другими частями halo, но для меня, эта игра как просто отдых от вечных американских горок и которая посвещаня только самому Мастеру Чифу как персонажу, а не как двигателем глобальных войн.

    Сюжетная игра сосредаточено на самом Мастере Чифе, который как Марио идёт спасать свою Картану, ты можешь проникнуть не только этим лором, но и то что оставили солдаты после войны.
    Изучая это всё, ты начинаешь понимать, что лор даже в такой маленькой для франшизы части тоже может быть на уровне, даже от части переплюнув прошлые работы 343i

    Левл дизайн... Те журналюги говорили что типа 2 часа проходили одинаковые коридоры в начале, НА ЛЕГКОЙ СЛОЖНОСТИ КАРЛ! Так вот, я их прошел за 20 минут, собрав все голосовые послания, и впринцепи не почувствовал скуки.
    Сам левл дизайн тебе помогает сделать разнообразную игру, если ты сам понимаешь как в эту игру играть.

    Геймплей самый лучший в серии лично для меня, стал быстрее, намнооооооооооого.

    И да, сони бои, попробуйте, просто попробуйте сами в неё поиграть на пк, и составьте нормальную критику. Будьте людьми скажем так) А так, всем удачи) и желаю приятной игры!

    Halo Infinite proves why 343 was perfect company to take over Halo! They wrote beautiful story for Halo 4 and while Halo 5 was bad (Every company makes mistakes), they also wrote beautiful story for Halo Infinite! But now gameplay is also fun, going open world was great idea, hopefully they expand on that idea with next Halo games or DLC's.

    Halo Infinite is a game that isn't without its flaws.

From changes to the linear levels that Bungie created 20 years ago and into an open world, this year is one of the biggest years Halo has had. That being said, the game isn't without its flaws. Coming from a long-time Halo fan, I was a bit disappointed that there was no variety in biomes, like the snow world in Halo: CE, or the urban areas in Halo 2. We are mainly left to explore the open world and the insides of buildings, which while is disappointing from a world perspective, is justified by just how big and interactive its open world is.

    Gameplay-wise, this is easily one of the best halos in terms of fluidity with its combat. It feels like 343 took the best parts of Halo CE: to 3's gun mechanics and created this type of gameplay that harks back to the Bungie days of combat. On foot or on a vehicle, you are bound to have a fun time. The grapple shot is one of the best additions that fit perfectly into Halo's combat without feeling like it is out of place. The way you can approach enemies with different weapons and from different angles in a variety of ways makes halo absolutely superb when it comes to that.

    Story-wise, I felt it was lacking a little bit. Following up the cluster of a mess that was Halo 5's story, 343 has definitely made some improvements by making the story more about Master Chief and his connection to Cortana, but it struggles at some points throughout the campaign. There are two new characters of main note here, where are the Echo-216 Pilot and Master Chief's new AI companion, nicknamed "The Weapon," which is voiced by the same character that plays both Cortana as well as Dr. Catherine Halsey. While the story is better than Halo 5's story, it didn't feel strong enough and it tends to fall short for both new players and veterans alike.

    There are great things that 343 has done here, and while it is not perfect, it is one of the best adventures we have had with Master Chief in years. It is most definitely a campaign that, while it may end up being forgettable, is a fun ride all the way through.

The objectives are diverse and well done. AI are aggressive and sometime can surprise you. The soundtrack is subtle, yet it supports the action pretty well.

    The only negatives are the immersion. I would have loved a better immersion on the remaining UNSC troops. It feels like they are just there and awaiting you to get ''activated'' which feel too orchestrated. I don't love the Banished cinematics that much, they feel unoriginal without any punch to them. They are regular enemies that serves their purpose, nothing more. Still, I did not finished the game still so maybe they will add some personality to them down the road. Also, the game seems laggy sometimes but maybe its my PC.

    The multiplayer is a blast, a lot of replayability there.

L'IA typique de Halo est bien là, c'est toujours aussi marrant de se battre et leur réaction est un cran au dessus de tout ce qui se fait en FPS. Ils sont malin, contournent, se cachent, se regroupent ou s'enfuient quand ça tourne mal, et les dialogues toujours aussi drôle.

    This game is one big steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are giving us an incomplete game for $60. The co-op is coming out next year.

    This game is one big steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are giving us an incomplete game for $60. The co-op is coming out next year. The developers rushed this game out because they are desperate for that Christmas money. The campaign is so boring and repetitive. The level design is lazy and terrible. It feels like I am playing offline multiplayer with bots.

    The graphics are outdated. This is suppose to be a next-gen AAA game, yet I've seen PS4 games with better graphics than this poor excuse of a next-gen game. That is embarrassing, especially when you consider that the Xbox Series X is supposedly the most powerful console. The physics are beyond horrible. The gun sounds are a joke. The AI is incredibly stupid. The animations look like trash. The story is poorly written. The explosions are laughable.

    Admittedly, the multiplayer is actually fun. But the multiplayer is free-to-play, meaning that the fun I had with the online multiplayer had nothing to do with my $60 purchase. So what do I benefit paying $60 for this joke of game? All I got was a lousy weapon to use in multiplayer and a worthless 10 hour solo campaign. I don't recommend this game at all. Just play the multiplayer for free.

    Más de lo mismo respecto a halo, jn shooter que no aporta nada nuevo, la dificultad parece una broma con los anteriores, y la duración de la campaña ni se diga poco más de 6 hrs, y usar de excusa la dificultad para alargar la duración no le quita lo poco que dura porque al final si dominas la dificultad igual puedes pasarlo en 6 hrs.

    Halo infinite's broken and dysfunctional game system just proves how much Xbox needed to "buy" Bethesda's catalog to stay afloat this generation. Don't waste your time playing it...What they can't sell...well...they give away on Gamepass.

    Not the halo experience I was expecting. The multilayer was pretty decent but got boring fast.
    The campaign had really bland level design and the outdoor open world area looked good but outdated and although the mechanics kinda save it from being terrible, it just feels like a poorly executed version of destiny.

    Excellent retour de la série, scénario sympa, on retrouve tous les codes d'un Halo, un jeu qui va évoluer avec le mod Coop et le mode Forge, un mode multi au top qui devient une fois encore une référence, très exigent.
    Techniquement c'est vraiment propre, optimisation au top. On aurait aimé quand même un peu plus de vie dans le jeu, de détail, on sent que le développement a été orienté

    Techniquement c'est vraiment propre, optimisation au top. On aurait aimé quand même un peu plus de vie dans le jeu, de détail, on sent que le développement a été orienté pour que le jeu tourne sur toutes les anciennes consoles Xbox. Du coup sur PC ou Series X, c'est pas LA claque, mais en 2021 avoir un jeu avec quasiment zéro bug le jour J c'est devenu rare. L'IA typique de Halo est bien là, c'est toujours aussi marrant de se battre et leur réaction est un cran au dessus de tout ce qui se fait en FPS. Ils sont malin, contournent, se cachent, se regroupent ou s'enfuient quand ça tourne mal, et les dialogues toujours aussi drôle.

I feel the world though is a bit empty , should’ve been more enemies , more things to do, 343i should have given the players a reason to want to explore the world , find rare weapons and alow us to add it to our inventory hidden boss battles , rare exclusive weapons that we can keep , not just use and discard . Added more diversity to the world and a lot more objectives and sort lines , more characters... perhaps some side quest where and consequences to your actions failing to rescue some on of a fob , or prisoners .. branching story . I feel there is absolutely no consequences to rescuing prisoners and them dying a few seconds later .. the story is interesting , but it’s lacking a lot . Boss battles are tough and engaging , some random bosses can be pretty tough as well .. abilities you can unlock are great though wishing it was a bit easier to swap them instead of having to press a button look at what abilities is what button and press that one .. it’s a bit of a pain to do when you have like 20-30 enemies circling you .

    Overall I love the game even with minor grips I would have it a ten , the multiplayer focused and Microsoft money hungry tactics take a point or two down .. still though what an amazing halo game for a first attempt . Fix a few quicks , cut out the multiplayer bull crap , add a lot more exploration and other things in story , add some real detail side quest you’ll have a game of the year

The developer has figured out a way to keep a player base up for share holder appeasement without putting more effort in making the game fun and it shows a hundred percent. There is nothing new to this Halo. In fact it feels very bare bones. It doesn't even feel like a halo game anymore. It plays like a copy and paste job of call of duty. From the maps and modes down to the battle pass system this game is just a boring generic cash grab now. It's free for a reason. Because the game has no value whatsoever. Expand

    The Bad: Multiplayer is a massive mess. You know it, I know it, 343 knows it, YouTube creators know it, and professional gamers know it. The netcode is a mess with horrible desync issues, Rank is effected by social and bot matches, and theater and custom games are broken. Broken broken broken. This game is a mess.

    The Ugly: As a 'Live Service' game we have no content and absolutely no communication from 343 Industries. This game is three months in with no new maps, weapons or new game modes (bye attrition....). This is unacceptable as far as Live Service goes. Look at all these other live service games that pump out new content constantly.

    343i did Halo fans dirty and failed to follow Bungie's footsteps. 343i is a false reclaimer to the Mantle of Responsibility.

    If the open-world concept had been better utilized and if the writers had added more interesting characters to the story, Infinite could have easily been one of the best Halo games ever. The shootouts are highly entertaining and the open world brings new tactical possibilities. The multiplayer is just as good, being slightly faster than before. [Issue#317]

    Halo is back to its best with Halo Infinite, tight controls, and seriously thirst-quenching gunplay that feels so intuitively satisfying. Traversal has been improved hugely by the addition of the grappleshot, allowing Master Chief to zip around at speed, as well as adding a unique element for multiplayer matches. A particular dampener has to be directed at the online multiplayer, which is riddled with cheaters, but, if they were to be removed then the multiplayer offers a solid free-to-play experience that is fast and frantic. Halo Infinite, alongside a number of other Xbox first-party titles is a great addition to Xbox Game Pass, and it is certainly a marquee game that warrants a subscription to the service.

    There’s not much to do in the open world, but thankfully, it doesn’t play a big role either. Infinite mostly sticks to what makes Halo great: first-person action. Smart level design, great mobility mechanics like grappling hook, and good AI make for some really memorable moments. [Issue#258, p.42]
