    Easily the best Halo game ever made, from a mechanics point of view. That's true even if you choose to avoid the open world elements completely. Using the grappleshot to grab onto and hijack an enemy vehicle feels absolutely great, as does grabbing an explosve cannister and throwing it into a group of enemies. Every single gun feels great as well, even if some are inevitably more usefulEasily the best Halo game ever made, from a mechanics point of view.

Using the grappleshot to grab onto and hijack an enemy vehicle feels absolutely great, as does grabbing an explosve cannister and throwing it into a group of enemies. Every single gun feels great as well, even if some are inevitably more useful than others. The movement is great too, everything about playing this game just feels excellent. I personally enjoy all the outposts and bases, the combat is so much fun that the encounters never seem boring. The campaign missions themselves are as fun and epic as ever, and I think that the boss encounters are an excellent addition. If you've ever enjoyed a Halo game before at all, you owe it to yourself to play this one.… Expand

    Muchos dicen que halo murió en reach pero me parece que es hora de decir que revivió Desde que entre al zeta halo me hizo recordar días como halo 2 o 1 ,tiene tanta nostalgia y de verdad es tan liberar el mundo semi abierto que tiene

    It's a very good game, I don't consider this as a short game, you could pass a lot of time with the several objectives across the huge map.

    Campaign and multilayer gameplay brilliant. Multilayer customisation and progression is terrible but the developers have shown a willingness to change this. Story is also good.

    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 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.

    After the lackluster Halo 4 and the travesty that was Halo 5 this game returns to it's roots of Halo 3 greatness as it plays phenomenal and pushes the current gen hardware to put out incredible visuals as well. The MP is fun even with what it lacks.

    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.

    Campaign is amazing.

    Best Gameplay in the series, the semi-open world is a lot of fun. Rescuing marines and fighting back the banish while upgrading the Master Chiefs armor abilities is really enjoyable. It’s the best Master Chief has ever felt to play with, actually feel like a very powerful super soldier. The bosses are really cool, some are very very hard. The entire plot and story    Campaign is amazing.

The entire plot and story fits well with the gameplay and the things you are doing. The setting is beautiful, day/night cycle is really cool. The actual linear missions are breathtaking with really cool designs and mystery to them. Any Halo fan will really enjoy what they are seeing and exploring. The story can be divisive but I like it a lot, wraps up Cortana and Halo 5 while setting up a new story arc and future for Master Chief. Excited for the future Campaigns that will be coming. Multiplayer is best the series has ever had. 10/10 gameplay wise. Needs better customization and progression though. But as Free to Play game it’s understandable why they are doing it like this but I hope the backlash is heard and changes are made

    Overall A 9.5/10 belongs right there with the original Halos. Campaign though is my new favorite tied with Halo 2 but with future Campaigns coming I would say it could be my favorite game ever to play through. I enjoyed it that much.    … Expand

    Xbox truly singlehandedly saved gaming in 2021, i'm not even joking. Imagine this November-December without Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. All other shooters failed miserably. Forza Horizon 5 has amazing graphics and it's one of the best arcade-racing games of all time. Xbox Forever!

    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.    … 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]
