Life stuff happens but WOW. This game is simply amazing. I can’t speak for the multiplayer portion but the campaign reignited a love for Halo that I haven’t felt since the Bungie games. It’s so good that I was actually sad when the achievement popped up for beating the game! And I actually want to complete things on a big open world map for once! How did 343 pull something this stellar off? As usual let me start with some negatives first, there aren’t many. During cutscenes sometimes the framerate would TANK, there was one instance when the game was chugging so badly I thought I was playing Halo on the Switch! These issues can be ironed out in a patch but not so much the story based ones unless there’s story DLC. I played & replayed the ENTIRE numbered Halo games a few months ago & I still felt kind of lost in places during Infinite’s campaign. I’m not well versed in things outside of the core series like comics or movies but it’s annoying when games do that nowadays. But in the same breath I also like reading up on buckets of lore after I finish a game so I can’t be too annoyed by it I guess, I just wish there was more info in the game itself. The end of Halo 5, for as average of a game it was, set up some VERY interesting events that would happen in Halo Infinite but instead, we skip almost all of what it set up to the aftermath without many refreshers on what actually happened in between 5 & Infinite. I didn’t play Halo Wars 2 yet either but I know the general story of it, but I don’t think that would’ve helped much aside from more knowledge on the Banished. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED uncovering the secrets of Infinite’s campaign & had a ton of fun with it beginning to end, I just wish the story didn’t leave me with more questions than answers & had a decisive finish, for this being the 3rd in 343’s trilogy and all. I loved pretty much everything else about Infinite though, the soundtrack is pretty damn good, it’s a Halo game after all. The world of Zeta Halo is beautiful & every weapon feels distinct & fun to use even if I only stuck to a couple of my faves by the end. My favorite thing by a MILE is the new grappling hook, why wasn’t this thing there from the very beginning of Halo?! It adds so much to the gameplay that I firmly believe any FPS should be required by law to have it implemented into their games, that’s how good it feels to use! I dare say it’s better than Doom Eternal’s! It’s so fun to use that I never used any of the other abilities that were given to me aside from once or twice. Climbing up a mountain and slingshotting yourself over it to smash Banished on the other side never got old. It doesn’t help that I just replayed Spider-Man on the PS5, so now Chief can go web to grappling hook with him lol. Overall, fantastic game. Exceeded my expectations despite some story hiccups that I hope are tied up in future DLC that I would gladly buy & play. It’s so good that I have the urge to 100% it, which is VERY rare nowadays for me. 343 has finally delivered!!… Expand

    Una gran vuelta de Halo, un gameplay muy dinámico, el gancho que es la mecánica mas nueva del juego solo tiene una cosa mala y es que no quiero otro Halo sin el.

    La Campaña es muy buena, acierta en todo lo que falló Halo 5, una buena construcción de personajes, el juego tiene un objetivo de principio a fin dando un verdadero enemigo a vencer, la estética sigue teniendo el toque de 343    Una gran vuelta de Halo, un gameplay muy dinámico, el gancho que es la mecánica mas nueva del juego solo tiene una cosa mala y es que no quiero otro Halo sin el.

    One of the best Halo games if not the best ever. Semi-open world, improved mechanics, deep and rich history, top tier graphics and a lot of action. 10/10, five stars game. 100% must play

    After finishing the game in both heroic and legendary, and with 50+ hours in MP this game is a 10/10. Sure, you could argue something about visuals but this is a crossgen game. Gameplay is top notch and every other technical aspect works superbly well. Around 12+ hours to beat the game (a little longer actually since the clock goes back upon death).

    Unos de los mejores Juegos de Halo que e jugado, la historia te atrapa desde el inicio el sistema de juego es fluido los enemigos, los jefes, sin desafiantes y debes crear estrategias de ataque o defensa o combinados para superar los niveles....

    This is my favorite Halo game by 343 easily and one of my favorite Halo games in general up there with Halo Reach and CE when it comes to the campaign.

My only two negative points are a) the environment can be repetitive and b) some dialogues from The Weapon end up becoming cringy at points.

    As for the multiplayer it's *the* most fun Halo MP i've ever played, it's addictive. There still need to be some additions with more playlists and modes and i know they'll come but the core gameplay is amazing and that's what matters the most to me. The thing that irks me right now is the aggressive monetization. I get that the game is f2p but people still pay $60 for the campaign and having to spend hundreds of dollars extra for some armor sets that existed in Reach and aren't even that special is a bad decision to me. I hope 343 will make more stuff to be earnable through gameplay.    … Expand

    Greate game, for a pandemic year. We have had a rough time with covid among other things that had happened in the last two years. 343 did a great job pulling through. Not to mention that they will keep adding updates as time goes on, also expanding on the game. Thank you 343 for listening to the fans.

    The second best Halo game ever! Is it perfect no! But one of the greatest games I have played so far on new generation consoles. The game is fun, and now with the open world there’s much you can do, except when you’re on missions at interiors, other than that the game is amazing, fun and addicting! 9.5 in my personal honest opinion. Ignore the 0’s they are Play Station Fans.

    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]
