    Honestly one of, if not the best Halo I've played. It has all the elements from the previous games and surpassed them! The vast open wonder of Halo CE, the character development from Halo 2, the epicness of Halo 3, the emotions and personal story of Halo 4, and the epic gameplay from Halo 5 and then some. Halo is freaking back, and I'm all for it.

    Es un respiro de aire fresco para la franquicia, creo que han logrado un balance perfecto entre lo hecho con los primeros juegos de Bungie y la innovación de la saga del reclamador, en lo personal, estoy muy contento con el resultado.

The story is really good and the pacing is great. You just get lost doing everything and it is always fun. The multiplayer is incredible too, and they're about to put new (and better) playlists since that was the thing they needed to fix. Do yourself a favor and play this game, use gamepass if youre not sure about it but give it a try, it is worth it!… Expand

    It is sad to see what has happened to the franchise, this game does not offer anything new, it has many frame rate problems, bad graphics, the campaign does not offer anything additional to what has been seen before, and worse to see many people applauding the smoke that their favorite company always do haha. They offer them an incomplete and bad cheesy game.

The multiplayer gameplay is absolutely phenomenal. The best it's ever been in Halo. The progression system needs ALOT of work, but that'll come in due time. 343 is doing a good job communicating to the community and making changes, which is great to see. I'd give the MP maybe a 7-8 currently, it would be a 10 if they went back to Reach's progression system. The Campaign though.... story wise, its great, not as good as Halo 1 or 2, but its the best halo campaign ive played in more than a decade. The open world works, I was skeptical at first, but with the implementation of the grapple hook and other abilities, it absolutely transformed what this campaign is and what it can be with some DLC's. Campaign is a 10/10, solely from a gameplay and enjoyment perspective. It's been a while to where I could actually have multiple playthroughs of a campaign, maybe since 2015 when The Witcher 3 came out. This came could potentially last years without losing much of the base if they pump out DLC's. Keep it up 343.… Expand

    Gunplay is really good but it really needs a higher sensitivity slider because looking around is very slow. It also feels like the only two maps I get loaded in to are the forest map for big team battle and the training grounds map for regular multiplayer.

    In campaign, you suddenly get marines in your bases. This should be a little more explained, you are told that UNSC forces have been hunted but then you have infinite marines out of nowhere.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tbh this game is getting a bad rap right now from fake reviewers (aka salty Sony Ponies) and their bombing on this site. Like, seriously there are real things to criticise with this game but barley anyone gives out an honest and fair review, sad really.

    So far i'm really enjoying myself in both the linear missions and open world areas, calling this map "Ubisoft-like" would be really dishonest. FOBs, Outposts, collectibles are all much more dynamic and interesting to play through thanks to Infinite's Ai and sandbox. Every encounter is different due to enemy placement and objectives, it's all really engaging. Best part is that you can fight through them however you want, you can break through the base with a tank or pepper enemies from the sky with the Wasp. Or you can sneak in behind and catch the enemy by surprise. It's all up to you. The gameplay is solid, very responsive and fluid, weapons that are garbage in multiplayer are amazing in campaign (Pulse carbine and Ravager). Equipment is amazing, grapple hook steals the show as always, cant say much more that hasn't already been said. There are many fun weapon variants to toy around with in the open world. Buuuuuuut, the lack of unique biomes was a huge punch in the gut for me. Don't get me wrong the game is beautiful (defo isn't the best looking next-gen game as its cross-gen but it still looks great imo) but i would've loved a snow area or a swamp biome to break up the same-y woodland aesthetic.

    Bosses? Decent. Halo has never had a good history when it comes to boss fights but Infinite seems to get it right for the first time in series history. They aren’t bullet sponges, you can destroy them with the right strategy and weaponry and i wouldn't have it any other way. They all act completely different from one another and offer unique challenges (Chak-Lok and his invisibility, Tremonius and his jet pack ect).

    Story? So far i'm enjoying it, not nearly as perfect as Halo 2 but its serviceable, i love The Weapon and The Pilot as characters right now. Chief is a complete badass, his one liners are perfect, harkening back to Halo 2s awesome Master Chief moments. However, i'm really disappointed in the fact that (spoiler) Atriox died....OFF SCREEN!!!!!! Like damn man you give us that awesome cutscene between him and Chief in the beginning but you don't give us more????? Uggh i was so mad when i heard the brutes talking about his death. Cutscenes are high quality and voice acting is perfect, Jen Taylor you are a treasure!!! Esharum so far is a decent antagonist, i love his friendly rivalry with the Chief. He has a mutual respect for him and lives for combat, like he is pumped to finally have a purpose again. Esharum has been been War Chiefton of The Banished but ever since he won against the UNSC he's just been so bored and feels empty because of it. I like that concept for a villain, especially for a brute.

    Bugs? Very few. Only crashed once. Fairly stable.    … Expand

The story is really good and I've been having a lot of fun with the multi-player. Just wish co op was released and the store was better and the battle pass was way better. Unsure if not having the choice to chose what mode you play in multi-player is simply because you're trying to get a good amount of data collected on all game modes or what but not having that ability also sucks. The game itself is great I love every thing about it the story was such a major step up from 4 and definitely 5. I even teared up a little bit.. but do to the fact that it's lacking key features is why I gave it a 9 out 10.… Expand

    Having spent about 25 or so hours on the campaign, nearly full completing it and seeing the stage set for what comes next, I can confidently say this is the best Halo.

I'll summarize the look, feel, execution of the game as absolutely solid. No major or hardly even minor bugs to speak of. The game is ultra-smooth and I have a feeling that the extra year 343 got to take on the game really allowed this game to launch with most of its core features in-tact (campaign, multiplayer, online features/store). But what I really want to express is my love for the campaign - the story told. I was a little frustrated that the gap between Halo 5 and Infinite from a story point was so janky. I knew a little bit of what was going on by watching some lore videos that connect the events leading into this game but felt that the game itself did a poor job of setting the stage and making me really care about what's going on - or even just know what's going on. It ended up working out. The storytelling is intentional and you get most of the picture through clever narrative choices, objects in the game that unfold the major plot progression from the moments Halo 5 conclude to where you end up in Halo Infinite.

    I will refrain from spoilers but the entire conclusion is masterful - this is the BEST Halo story ever told. I wish the best for 343 and where they go from here with a story that seems to be finishing but not yet totally finished. Play the campaign, listen to the story, see where you think things end up. It was beautifully done and finally served Master Chief with some believable vulnerability and puts a bow on a major plotline that has persisted through 5 Halo games. I loved every minute of it and Infinite makes me feel like 343 finally figured out how to make a Halo game that's theirs.

    My complaints are near-zero. I don't think the Slipspace Engine that Infinite was built using is quite as good as I had hoped. I feel like the option to rely on Halo 3 visual art was maybe too much lip-service to Halo fans. I'm a core Halo fan, been playing since the first game debuted, and I would have been happy to see 343 take a few steps forward for immersion via graphics. If you've seen what a few screenshots looked like using the Unreal Engine (search for it online) you'll see what I mean - there's something about a more realistic version of Halo that made me wish the Slipsplace Engine delivered that kind of visual entertainment. It's kinda nit-picky though and I still feel this is by-far the best-looking Halo ever, both because of its 4K delivery AND it's fantastic HDR delivery - the lighting is amazing.

    My other light complaint is the fact that the campaign space clearly rips off Far Cry. Not a bad thing - it was a fun time experiencing Far Cry but in a Halo setting, but I hope 343 thinks through their open-world delivery (it's clearly not the end of this format) as the things you do on the side present as mostly unimportant. They do drag out the campaign experience by many hours on Normal to around 30 hours, which is awesome in my opinion. I only wish there was even more content to work through that would push it beyond that. I will only have Legendary to attempt some day, but that'll be for another time. Halo Infinite is about as good as it could have been.

    I am once again blinded by it's majesty.

    Halo is arguably one of the best series of all time inspired by all sci-fi material that came before and an inspiration to those that came after its release. We've come a long way in these 20 years since Combat Evolved first released and this makes me feel so happy I am about to cry. This game is an incredible return to roots in its game    I am once again blinded by it's majesty.

    Halo is arguably one of the best series of all time inspired by all sci-fi material that came before and an inspiration to those that came after its release.

    We've come a long way in these 20 years since Combat Evolved first released and this makes me feel so happy I am about to cry.

    This game is an incredible return to roots in its game play, and a beautiful new beginning in its campaign.

    PROS:
    + Plays and looks like a Halo game should
    + Buttery Smooth gunplay
    + Great visuals
    + Well designed sensitivity across both KB+M and controller
    + The gameplay is fun now that 343 is finally striking a balance between what came before and incorporating what they had learned from Halo 5 to create a more tactical take on the old arena style of game we're all used to
    + The utilitarian art style is back, no more skin tight suits with armor bits glued to it
    + Sound design is crisp, impactful. The BR is one of the best sounding guns in any fps game.
    + Music, for what little exists in the multiplayer portion, is really good and I'm happy to see electric guitars return to Halo in some capacity. This beats the droning noises and ambient sounds Halo 4 multiplayer called "music" whenever it was featured
    +Guns: The guns in this game are marvelously well crafted and balanced!

    CONS:
    + Strange to outright terrible battle pass progression
    + Lack of playlists
    + Prone to crashing and freezing

    Thankfully all of these things I've mentioned can be ironed out in a few patches, which is why I'm still recommending it. It needs a bit of work, but Infinite is looking bright.    … Expand

Now its not going to win best narrative or be hailed as a art piece, it's still halo, but what 343 did is add enough character work to give the big moments in the story a lot of emotion, to the point where the end game can be pretty emotion for longtime fans. Steve Downes and Jen Taylor really elevated this story beyond its simple "find the girl" style story, to the point where Jen Taylor's performance should be first on the list of 2022 best performances. However, I don't think this story will work as well without playing Halo 1-3 and getting the relationship between Chief, Cortana, and the new AI Weapon. But if you play Halo for the campaign this is probably the best in terms of quality.

    Mechanically its about as tight as an arena shooter can get (I played on console so unsure how PC feels to play) I dipped a bit into multiplayer so if you like that you'll like PvE. I will say there is one boss fight nearing the end of the game that felt more frustrating then fun, but the enemy design and AI were pretty fun to play against.

    The biggest thing about the "game" aspect of it is the length feels artificially long. While I thought the side missions and the valor points earned form them was a fun addition (despite being a bit repetitive) the main missions are on the shorter end of a Halo game and the layout and goals feel different enough to make up for that, if you blitz through it, I think there will be some disappointment.

    Running through the last few things, the music still slaps, classics return, new renditions of old songs. This group really understood what made Marty O'Donnell's work become classic.

    Tech wise it felt good, I was playing on my day one Xbox one and it run better than I expect a nearly decade old console could run a 2021 game, occasion weird load or frame rate issue but nothing happened twice.    … Expand

    Campaign is not bad. The story is okay I suppose, I do like the character dynamic between the weapon, pilot, and chief a lot. Escharum is a captivating enough antagonist, he feels pretty threatening and like a worthy foe for *the* spartan, but the harbinger is another lame 343 "twist" villain that, in my opinion, really lets the story down. Just the banished or introducing more forerunners or maybe even bringing in mendicant bias would have been cooler and less "huh? why?" to me. At least they, in my opinion, wrapped up and moved on from halo 5 while still keeping it to the side as sort of an apology to people like me who really didn't like it.

    Overall the story is just okay, but the dialogue is some of the best in the series.

    The gunplay/gameplay loop I find very satisfying, I think it could use a few more weapons but overall not bad at all, very solid, best in the 343 series.

    The enemy variation is, again, just okay. The banished are fun to fight but there aren't enough new enemies in my opinion, no flood, prometheans, and the only forerunner enemies are the drones. Again.

    The open world is well done, very beautiful, but not enough wildlife, environments, or different things to do. FOB captures are repetitive, and HVT missions don't feel mechanically diverse enough. There's also not enough collectibles.

    Overall I would say halo infinite is worth the money, at least to me, but it still feels unfinished and I'm left wanting more. Maybe check it out in 1-2 maybe even 3 years once we've gotten some story DLC and some QOL improvements.    … Expand

    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]
