    Halo Infinite is an amazing halo game with a solid story, absolutely incredible gameplay and a good set of characters. The open world aspect is also executed well and fits halo.

    Story, gameplay, art-style, AI. All amazing
    The difficulty is again like in CE and that is amazing and making it soo that in the harder difficulties the enemies aren't bullet sponges like in 4 and 5, but rather making them more intelligent, faster thinking, but never unfair to fight against. (Ignore the rocket flood in CE, it didn't happen)
    Althou it is lacking in biome section, only

    Althou it is lacking in biome section, only plains with a few rivers, waterfalls and swamp-ish areas. No tundras, no true swamps, deserts nor snowy areas.
    The music is again like in CE but newer, if someone told me that the new tracks were unused Marty’s tracks from CE I would believe it.
    In conclusion: its not perfect, but with everything they did to fix the story and gameplay after Halo 5…its reboot we all wanted.

Legendary offers a great deal of challenge but is not impossible. Enemies are strong but each of them have well crafted visual and sound design that gives you insight on their movement and abilities to monitor the battleground. 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.

    It's a really good Halo game.

    This game nails gameplay and shooting. Such a great experience on legendary difficulty. It isn’t too hard to make you quit but it’s just the right amount to feel rewarding. Music is superb and adds so much to the experience. Visuals aren’t mind blowing but that is ok. The fact that the core gameplay is fantastic and I know 343 is going to add onto it. Must own!

    The best playing Halo game ever. The singleplayer campaign is mammoth, and traversing the open world with the grappling hook is a blast. Multiplayer is incredible. The best new feature is bots. If you are new to the series (or just not that good), you can still enjoy the multiplayer by creating your own custom games with nothing but bots.

    There are a few things missing that hold this

    There are a few things missing that hold this game back from being a 10. Forge, and SP Co-Op are to be added later. As well as additional maps and multiplayer modes. But what IS there is near perfection. This game manages to stay true to its roots, but also feel very fresh.

Excellent gunplay, feels fresh while staying true to the original formula, and runs great on the Series X.

The mystery of Zeta Halo and the story overall was the exact thing Halo needed to put itself on course to move towards a new direction whilst simultaneously respecting the stories told in every Halo game.

    Based on the campaign alone, this is a great Halo game. I love the new grappling hook mechanic which makes traversing the mountain areas a lot more manageable.

    If you didn't like the game - it's ok. But don't put "0" - because you can't play it on PS. :-*

    Thank you 343 for this. Such and amazing way to start a new. I've played halo since 2001. This is the first time in a long time have felt at home in a halo game again. Can't wait to see what you all do next with this saga. Hell of a turn around! Great game

    Halo infinite is a perfect successor to the original halos with perfect gameplay and only a few minor issues such as the monetization or sbmm other than that I can't fault this game in the slightest.

    Great gameplay, multiplayer and campaign. Sadly it's missing coop and bp and mp playlists need to be fixed but overall still very very good. At its core a Halo that fits with the original trilogy.
    Had a lot of fun for now, great moments.

    Bad optimization on PC, Series S. 30 fps animations, cutscenes with lags. Nothing special about this game. Another open world game with question marks on the map. No interesting locations, everything is grey. One thing that pushes this game further is gun play. Every other things is mediocre.

    Storywise it's all over the place, a lot of veterans will notice slight retcons with some of the dialogue or things that don't make since. I think Halsey at one point talks about John being ready for something greater (except the spartans were made to kill rebel humans; the covenant, halos etc werent known at this point). It just feels forced. I can nuance the terrible plot lines better, iStorywise it's all over the place, a lot of veterans will notice slight retcons with some of the dialogue or things that don't make since. I think Halsey at one point talks about John being ready for something greater (except the spartans were made to kill rebel humans; the covenant, halos etc werent known at this point). It just feels forced. I can nuance the terrible plot lines better, i mean for scavengers the banished managed to build a laser that could break through unbreakable forerunner installations. See what i mean? or chief wakes up in space and the banished have won, but there's a signal close by which for some reason the banished have ignored until the chief makes his way there. It's just cringeworthy rubbish, bungie were never Shakespeare but at least they could write something coherent. 343 have yet to do that with any of their games.

    Open world is a nice change though, except it's small (compared to a 10 year old game Skyrim or 4 year old breath of the wild). and pretty empty. Sure there's things to do like destroy propaganda towers (no not like farcry) which are small and take a few hits. I mean you can save marines, who can send out a distress signal but otherwise have no radio communication until chief is right next to them. (it's a shambles of a barely coherent storyline).

    As for the indoor areas, they've kept with the repeating corridors and the same installation look as the original halo. I can't fathom why they would do this, as each installation (halo) weren't supposed to be identical but their creative ingenuity hasn't moved very far since they took the reigns from Bungie. Better the devil you know i guess.

    We have destiny style bullet sponge bosses, which we all asked for... in the open world and campaign too. Yay. Don't expect like the first halo with intense beautifully written battle sequences with wraiths and grunts which feel like a real battleground. This is a hotchpotch mess which is supposed to feel organic but comes across as flat.

    Graphics are nice, not remarkable but nice. A small increase from the previous halo game and the grapple hook makes fast travel and vehicles next to useless unless for a specific purpose or area. (you can reach the tallest mountain [there's an achievement] within less than 20 seconds grappling up).

    There are lore things scattered around both covenant (sorry "banished") and human to pick up which are interesting but like fallout 76 it's a cheap way to avoid more story telling and cutscenes. The open world just feels like content without content. It's like a cheat. Gone are the linear giant levels which involve warthogs, scorpion tanks and intense battles through a 40 minute slog fest of wonder. Replaced by something, which again, feels off. It's fun, but lacks the intensity that the first few halos filled us with.

    Nothing really new with gameplay, sure chief now has magical upgradable spartan armour and upgrades but bar the grappling hook nothing stands out. There are side missions where you destroy fuel dumps, or repair bays but offer no real incentive to complete. It's not cyberpunk 2077.

    There are now more weapons than you can shake a stick at, and the covenant (sorry banished) now carry and use these weapons as well. Again, the tag line is scavengers except when the plot makes them out to be something more.

    The action and nostalgia factor of playing as the chief (who seems to hold more secrets this time around [like magic]) is the only reason it still gets a 7. It's a welcome return, but certainly not the second coming.

    Also someone has to talk about Health and Safety with the banished. Scavengers or not. There are more explosive crates than life forms in this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay
    The gameplay is fantastic. Smooth, exciting, and obviously incredibly fun. The equipment is by far the best it has ever been. We all know the grapple shot is the best addition and we all love it. So I want to talk about the less popular equipment. The drop wall became so helpful during the sentinel boss battles for me. The threat sensor was beginning to become a lame addition until I entered the house of reckoning; The spartan killer boss battle, it became my best friend. The thruster was probably the one I used least as it is just a worse grapple shot. However, still helpful.

    Graphics
    I've heard a few complaints about the graphics and how people expected more. I see why people say that, but most if not all cutscenes are in-game cut scenes, which means if I am holding the mangler and a cutscene happens I will be holding said mangler, this goes for any gun. The open-world is breathtaking and is a huge expansive map.

    Story
    This is by far the best Halo 343i has made. A huge improvement from their previous instalment. The first cutscene we see our hero get a reality check. Atriox completely destroys John and shows us that John is only human. A huge plot point of this game is focused on making the Master Chief more human. A touching aspect that makes us feel for John, at the end of the day John has never had a chance to be 'human'. This game finally delivers on humanising him. If you have completed the game the final cutscene where the pilot hugs John you can see he almost hugs back, is an excellent example of John opening up. Not to mention all the times John shows respect to the fallen spartans. This game delivers a definitive and satisfying ending to the Cortana saga, with an emotional goodbye. This game leaves me wanting more, in a good way. I am excited for the future of Halo. I hope they make a new game instead of a DLC type of thing. I cannot wait for the future of Halo. Halo infinite is the third best Halo ever made.

    Not only does Halo Infinite raise the bar for all fps shooters, it sets a new standard for open world gaming entirely. The gunplay is fun and rewarding, the multiplayer is perfectly balanced in competition and teamwork.

    Wow just wow the campain blew me away! The only negative thing I could say about the campaign is the fact that the only way to replay missions is to restart the game, but they said they will fix that. The guns feel amazing, but I hope in the future we could see some old guns make a return, or maybe see some new weapons.

    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]
