    As a semi-open world game, the plot of this game successfully inherited Halo 5. The main line still maintains a very high level. As an innovation, the branch line part inevitably has some problems. Overall it is very good!

    Probably my favorite Halo campaign. I think they struck the perfect balance between open world and linear gameplay.

    Se siente la subida de calidad y a la vez como cierta nostalgia del estilo clásico, el mundo abierto se me hace estilo Farcry, mi única queja es la falta de cooperativo en la campaña, pero suponiendo lo agregan pronto no le bajó el punto por eso. El multijugador es adictivo

    I'm impressed by the AI which is really good. Graphics are nice without being awesome. But this game is boring, sad but true. Story isn't interessant, and as soon as you reach the open map, everything seems dull.

    I'm only about 7 hours into the campaign and so far it far been a very enjoyable experience. Opening sequence is breathtaking and really sets the tone for the rest of the game. Open world experience alongside the grappleshot gives limitless opportunities to explore and feels like an extension of Halo 1 in the best ways possible.

    Multiplayer feels like a direct sequel to Halo 3 along side new equipment types that feel balanced. Ranked play can feel sweaty at times but I enjoy these games as my adrenaline spikes when in Battle Riffle duels. Quick play and Big team battle are also fun modes when not wanting to try so hard.

    Additional Wants
    - Different MP modes
    - Campaign Co-op
    - New MP maps

The difficulty isnt all that balanced between various difficulties I would have to give it a 8/10. Do not play this game in Normal, just play in heroic, because the difference between the two isnt very much at all. The open world is really beautiful, but it gets a little repetative. The FOBs are alot of fun the first few times but, they get really repetative. They are basically all the same, that is really my only complaint. There are these other missions where you hunt down high value targets from the banished and they are AWESOME. Also i had loads of fun just finding skulls and spartan lockers all over the map. It is a beautiful world. The world as a whole is really cool. 9/10. The story itself is really good, but it feels like it is unfinished. To be completely honest it seems like it was the first game in the series instead of being the end of the reclaimer saga. Again this is the only thing i can complain about in terms of the story. This game dives into who master chief is. It really gives the players an idea of who he is in a way that no other halo has ever done. The stakes are high in this story. That being said I feel like it has earned a 9/10 for the story. There is alot to love about the story as a whole but when the game ends you are just left feeling like it ended too early. The multiplayer is where i feel like it falls a little too short. The multiplayer is ALOT of fun but without the ability to choose the game mode you play I feel like the highest score i can give that is a 8/10. I do realize they will fix the multiplayer in the coming days that is the only reason i gave it an 8. In its current state it is a 6 or a 7 only because of it lacking the ability to choose game modes. As much as i love halo I cant give this game a perfect score because there are some flaws but, overall this game is really good. It is very refreshing though because it is obvious 343 is finally figuring out how to make a halo game. My review for halo 4 (6) and halo 5 (4)can reflect how i have hated where this series was headed but now it is getting back on track.
    This game's campaign is a 9.2/10 but as a whole is an 8/10 because of the multiplayer but since the PLAYSTATION fanboys are bombing this game i will give it a 9 to balance the score.    … Expand

    This game has so much potential, its incredible to see. The gameplay is so solid, the campaign has me intrigued for the future of Halo, and most importantly, the issues the game has on the Multiplayer side have been addressed very quickly by 343i, and that really helps elevate this from a 9 to a 10 for me. I am excited for the future of Halo!

    El sandbox es muy bonito y esta muy bien diseñado, realmente siento esa libertad que siempre había querido tener en Halo, recuerdo que de pequeño cada nivel de Halo intentaba explorarlo a más no poder y ver cada rincón con las posibilidades que me brindaban en esa época y ahora con el sandbox tan amplio que tiene y con las nuevas mecánicas (principalmente el gancho) es un sueño hecho realidad. Ahora si podrás escalar hasta la cima esas montañas que ves a lo lejos y no solamente lo quedarás viendo a lo lejos.

    Ahora sobre los combates contra los enemigos (lo jugué en legendario) es muy muy demandante, contra los jefes principales requiere toda tu astucia y pericia para derrotarlos, son un dolor de cabeza (visto de la mejor manera porque quería un reto por eso lo puse en legendario), contra los npc's normales son agresivos, prácticamente leen tus movimientos incluso antes de que los hagas y más si están en grupo, si te descuidas hasta un grunt te puede matar fácilmente y ni se diga nada de los jackals francotiradores que como todo sabemos son la cereza sobre el pastel en la dificultad (aunque no son tan difíciles como en halo 2).
    El juego te enseña y te obliga a que aprendas sus mecánicas para que puedas progresar. Los primeros niveles me costaba mucho derrotar a los enemigos, pero ya casi finalizando el juego sentía que era una danza que tenia con los enemigos en donde daba un paso mal y moría, pero si no fallaba fluía el juego.

    Respecto a la historia, uff, profunda, intima, llegadora, contiene la faceta más humana del jefe maestro, y la conexión que realiza con los nuevos personajes es asombrosa. Los nuevos personajes son carismáticos, The Weapon es encantadora, inocente, curiosa y con ganas de aprender, pese a que es una IA esa una humana, El piloto, es humano tal cual, una persona que tiene miedo de morir, que no sabe nada sobre lo que acontece en los temas más importantes de los conflictos vividos, es como si fuéramos nosotros mismos, no tenemos idea de lo que esta pasando al otro lado del mundo realmente, solamente tenemos poquitas referencias y nos hacemos una vaga idea, pero nada más, y si nos llegamos a enfrascar en un conflicto donde no somos el personaje principal actuaríamos con miedo, con desesperación, frustración así es el piloto, pero llega un momento en el cual el piloto se redime y evoluciona; prácticamente los 3 personajes principales tienen una enorme sinergia que se apoyan a desarrollarse y evolucionar. Y quiero mencionar algo importante, ahora sí el contexto de leyenda que le dan al jefe maestro como la súper maquina de matar esta tan bien construido que por fin siento toda esa mítica de él y su estatus de Demon al ojo de los enemigos.

    Y para finalizar, el multiplayer es súper entretenido y bien balanceado. Son horas y horas de juego adictivo para no acabar. Las listas de juego son limitadas por el momento, pero el 14 de Diciembre de 2021 aplicaran nuevas listas de juego que expandirán la diversión aun más.

    Conclusión: Halo Infinite es un excelente juego, no queda nada a deber y es una juego planeado para una duración mínima de 10 años, donde sacaran más DLC de expansión a la campaña (que prácticamente serán más campañas del mismo calibre a esta primer campaña) y al multijugador le estarán metiendo contenido constantemente. A Halo Infinite solamente le queda mejorar más de lo que es actualmente.    … Expand

    Interesting plot to come, the endless i hope are related to the precursors. The banished are perfect villains for the Halo Universe.
    In terms of gunplay, it's the best halo to this day. Grapplehook add an incredible dynamic.
    This idea of openworld is good for Halo, i hope for future content it's a little bit more living, and unique. I want to see a mission like the 3 cannons as a reference for the campaign and magnified, like the silent cartographer, giving multiple objectives in one mission and giving you the tools to do it. The pure openworld formula is still a lot of fun, in terms of exploration in particular.

    Xbox once again proves that they are best of the best and no other console can get even close. Sure Sony has had hit games in past, but most of them are extremely linear "movie-games". Spider-Man was fun i guess, but overall Sony games are meh. No offence. Halo Infinite shows how you should write characters and story, make world fun and interesting and especially, make gameplay fun.

The Covenant, The Ark, Silent Cartographer, some of the best missions in the Halo franchise have you pushing objectives backed by groups of Marines or Elites etc, and it was amazing and memorable. The mission foundations were there (no spoilers though) but no marines to help.

    But it wasn't just random NPCs that weren't present; Arbiter, Spirit of Fire, Locke, Lasky, any Spartan IV minus a brief cameo from Griffin, there were no legacy characters in this campaign at launch, Even Atriox wasn't in the damn thing except the intro!

    Backstory the game, 50% of missions were flashbacks to the loss of Infinity, Cortana and Atriox, all of which happened before the campaign even started and we go to experience through "data echos" that didn't follow you if you didn't want to stand around and watch.

    "The Endless" - Snooze. Stop introducing these forgettable enemies, you got it right with Atriox, no need to add whatever these were meant to be.

    This game can be enjoyable, but there is so much holding it back from comparing the the originals.

    I realise I have ranted so let me just list some things they got right:

    - Music, using a lot of the original stuff felt really good
    - Enemies, the banished are great and the grunts are hilarious again (jackels suck though, they're just vorcha from ME)
    - Visuals are great
    - Humanising Master Chief and his relationship with Cortana
    - The Weapon and Echo 216 were great    … 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!

    343 proves with this game what they really can do. Bungie already went downhill with Reach, so i think 343 was perfect choice for halo. More of this please.

    The gameplay is incredible but it is missing some features example: you can't chose what game mode you want to play. The battle pass progression is slow and hopefully they fix it soon. But the shop prices are crazy I know the multiplayer is free and I wouldn't mind the microtransactions but 20 euro for a skin is overpriced. There is no reason not to try it.

    Master Chief is back!! For veterans of the franchise and those who are new….. this game delivers. It’s definitely a 10/10 as co-op and forge are coming as well a re-play option which most open world game never offer. The multiplayer is 100% free on Xbox and PC so everyone can get the opportunity to experience greatness

    This is the sequel to Halo 3 we've been waiting for. Soundtrack, art direction and gameplay are ABSOLUTELY stellar, best in class. This is probably the best gameplay ever for a FPS alongside DOOM Eternal. 343 Industries did it. Against all odds. GOTY 2021.

    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 brushes Halo 5 under the rug while still keeping the main point that Cortana turned on the Master Chief and humanity. The open world aspect of the game while good and a breath of fresh air for the franchise, feels slightly outdated the best comparison I can make is the far cry series.

    Halo is back, I will not pour water, multiplayer came out earlier and played very well, the only drawback is the progression, and as for the single player company, it is not bad at the legendary difficulty level.

    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]
