    Don't let the reviews complaining early lack of multiplayer content stop you from enjoying this game.

    Halo Infinite is a very enjoyable game and both the multiplayer and campaign have a lot to offer. It has only gotten better over time.

    The campaign is unbelievably good. Easily the best since halo 3. The campaign is so good I would give this a 10/10, but it loses a point for the long list of issues with the monetization of the MP and lack of MP content.

Movement has gotten much better while the new movement options in 5 felt like a gimmick the inclusion of the grapple hook really evaluated the whole experience and made the act of getting around in a fight a lot of fun. Having items that you carry around the whole game like a deployable shield or enemy scanner to be used anytime is also a great new feature that just made gunplay more engaging. My only complaint I have for it is I wish that it was easier to pick in the heat of battle as trying to navigate by tapping the d pad to the right then selecting was kind of annoying. The plot I thought was a lot more interesting then the other games although it did feel kinda lack luster but I appreciate them slimming the cast down and giving us a more concise story where 5 had like way to many characters where most did nothing. The Banished are a great new enemy you really learn and get a feel for them and they feel distinct unlike the covenant remanence of the last 2 games. And unlike the promethiens their a lot of fun to fight. And the enemy A.I has certainly been improved while not perfect enemy's act and behave alot more like how you'd expect. And the new art style change to a much more classic and simple design is a welcome change and really appreciated because my god the covenant were so ugly in the last games. The open world aspect was neat but it could of been utilized more. Like some actual side quests or some big large scale battles would of been coll. And the whole taking back the ring with these little marine bases feels a bit tagged on like they don't really impact anything it feels. I would of licked for our home base to be more dynamic changing and growing as the game progressed. Another thing I'm not a big fan about is that visually most of the levels look the same which can make them a bit exhausting and boring. However one thing this game nailed is the boss fights which really surprised me. While 2 tried some fights and they were kinda **** and 5 had one okay fight they used over and over again this game has a good amount of boss fights that are all fun and some are even challenging. Overall the campaign is great but I do see potential for it to be even better.

    And for the multiplayer let me just say I hate battle pass progression systems. They aren't fun and the fact you only get experience for the challenges is really annoying and deters me from playing game modes I actually wanna play. The customization is really good but I don't know why it needs to be split between different armor types like let me mix and match whatever I want. Although having different loadouts for customization would be cool and its kinda like that now but they should expand on that idea at some point. Now my only other real other complaint for the multiplayer is the lack of maps they really got to add more maps because their already getting kinda old. Not that their bad but it just feels like I'm playing the same ones all the time. Luckily the gunplay just like the campaign is a lot of fun and much better experience then 4 or 5 on the multiplayer side of things. The multiplayer is really fun I just wish the progression system was actually rewarding and that their was an actual level to everyone's profile.    … Expand

    Campaign is pretty awesome. I rated 9 of 10 due to multiplayer which should get more content updates. The controversies about microtransactions is overblown in my opinion. Those cosmetic items are optional and a lot can be farmed for free or via battlepass. Multiplayer is free to play.

More content on the way. The enemy AI is very advanced and rewarding (if there is a challenge, they organize, garrison, arm themselves, flank you, hunt you down). Some achievements went off the scale. With ingenuity you can do very WTF things. The Weapon as an assistant is equal parts funny, naive, and absurd. The handling of textures is incredible. The draw distance is huge and they took their time to adjust to the changes in light and the different heights and levels within the ring (they don't use the cheap trick of fog or clouds). Great fun exploring the map, swinging, climbing the Towers,

    The bad:
    It annoys me that the bootleg doll aesthetic returns, discarding the “realistic” aesthetic of the Tank with legs concept. The new weapons are fine (nothing more). They didn't coddle much of the missions. More content on the way (when?). I miss some “punch” to the music. I feel like a Soft Reboot although some Prometheans are out there lost. They had said that the multiplayer could be separated from the game and they are there together on the record. Few biomes to explore.

    Lo Meh!:
    Personally, I'm tired of open worlds, I can't stand them, and it bothers me that Halo jumps on that trend just to fit in, not because I'm comfortable with it. Keeping with how much I hate open worlds it bothers me that Master Chief is the one using the grappling hook, couldn't another new character be using the grappling hook and saving the Chief? (A la Donkey Kong: Diddy's Kong Quest) because there are so many characters that use a hook that looks more like a skin of Nate Spencer (Bionic Commando) or Rico Rodriguez (Just Cause) with the Chief's suit swinging from the Zeta Halo. They forgot about Halo 5 Guardians, Perseverance Witness and the Guardians, Cadet Kelly and the blue team…    … Expand

    Halo's gun play is fantastic. the open world isn't the best, the world is a bit too empty in my opinion. The graphics are awesome, it looks very sharp on the series x and it runs buttery smooth at 60fps. The sound of the game should also be mentioned, it is awesome. The weapon sounds and the soundtrack of the game is awesome

Both the single-player and multiplayer feel like the classic Halo formula but evolved into the next level, and the story quality is at it's finest giving me my both my favorite story and social experience since 3. This truly felt like a fresh start for the series by wrapping up all loose ends and laying the groundwork for the next phase of this universe, and if this is only the beginning of what they're capable of I can't wait to see where they go next. Also Chief's new AI made this whole game worth playing just because of how great she was.… Expand

    It’s is awesome start for new story. I give it 9 because I felt like in Halo 1 or 2. It’s not masterpiece. Yes it has some issues with open world (I don’t like it much). But thx 343 this open-world is small. Thanks a lot for this!!!

    Masterpiece gameplay. Thx a lot for shooting 10/10. Every battle feels like puzzle in legendary. Thx for adding some abilities.

    Played on Xbox Series X - As someone who has been a fan of Halo for a long time, I can safely say that Halo Infinite is the best Halo has been in over a decade.

The gameplay in Infinite is an excellent mixture of the modern, fluent gameplay of many current FPS's, and the classic open ended, fast paced, and detailed combat of old school FPS's. The campaign in Halo Infinite is pretty good and is certainly the most entertaining and intriguing story 343 Industries has told since taking over the Halo franchise in 2011. The gameplay, enemy variety, story, and characters in the campaign are all very good as a whole. There are problems in the campaign when it comes to level diversity, or the lack of it. Another problem I have experienced has to do with how useful most of the equipment you get throughout the campaign actually is; as I really only used the Grappleshot throughout the story, and on occasion the Threat Sensor. I also very much wish that Halo Infinites campaign had co-op at launch, but I know that it will be added to the game later down the line. Halo Infinite does feel a lot like a combination of Doom Eternal, Far Cry, and the classic Halo games. You would think that this combination would be a bit of a mess, but it works pretty well and Is very fun.

    When it comes to multiplayer, Halo Infinite is bordering on excellency. What is in Halo Infinites multiplayer is spectacular, it is what is not in it that is upsetting. As of this review there is a lack of modes in matchmaking, as well as some big problems when it comes to not being able to choose specific multiplayer modes/playlists; with players having to rely on luck much of the time if they want to get the right game mode for a challenge. Speaking of challenges, they need work. Doing challenges is the only way to level up in infinite, as the only ranking system in the game is the Battle Pass. Because everyone is going out of their way to do challenges to level up, it brakes up a matches flow and can result in some unpleasant moments in a match. This, combined with the lack of earnable customization and the heavy monetization of other customizations, is incredibly disappointing, if not infuriating.

    Over all, Halo Infinite has some big flaws, but these flaws are easily fixable. And even with these flaws the game is worth buying, it really is just that good. Heck, the multiplayer is free to play. If you are able to try the games multiplayer out, then there is no reason not to.    … Expand

    I’ll keep this simple as graphics were good, gameplay was great, and the story was really good.

    I spent more time finding things in the open world than many would of done, and it was a nice touch. Running into actual fights versus loading a level only made for a rather good experience. Graphics wise for the campaign running at 60fps on the XSX with a VRR OLED was amazingly good.

    Graphics wise for the campaign running at 60fps on the XSX with a VRR OLED was amazingly good. Detail in Master Chief’s armor was detailed dramatically compared to the original showing of the game. Some cutscene issues with what appears to be uneven frame rate being shown had a slight impact, but I know that will be fixed.

    This game did an excellent job at patching the horrible story from Halo 5 in terms of its beloved main characters but I will say I wish it turned out differently. That being said I can’t give this game a 10 if I wanted to because the story was good but it wasn’t a full revision of the Halo 5 catastrophe.

    It appears 343 has finally did it; they made a campaign and a multiplayer both really good for the same title. Congrats and I hope they fix the issues on the multiplayer we all want to be done.    … Expand

    I don't understand the huge downvotes. I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer, but the campaign is great. Definitely better than Halo 4 and 5. Enemies are actually fun to fight, and the mission to rid the Halo Ring of Banished is very addictive. There are some things missing, some of which will take a while for 343 to incorporate, but this game is genuinely enjoyable regardless.

    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]
