    Gameplay is awesome. Art-design is pretty poor, story is not very good. But this game is very fun to play. Almost like DOOM

    Solid story, incredible gameplay and one of the most amazing sandboxes in an FPS game to date. The only cons are biome diversity and the feeling that it needed more content.

I'd akin Halo Infinite a lot to Horizon Zero Dawn where it's a studio learning the ropes as it charters new and unfamiliar designs tenets where the gameplay is stellar but the story and pacing isn't as mind-blowing. It's an excellent direction for the franchise and a great build up to an eventually better sequel. Expand

    Repetitive, grindy, minimal story.

    But goddamn is the gameplay fun. Sound, weapon feel, all so good.

    The open world sections are really fun but the tight epetitive corridor gameplay kinda sucks

    Halo Infinite é na minha opinião, o Halo mais divertido de todos. Seu multiplayer é excelente, só que, extremamente repetitivo e sem conteúdo algum mesmo após anos do lançamento do jogo. o mundo sandbox do jogo é muito divertido e gostoso de jogar. A Jogabilidade é muito boa e é muito melhor que a de halo 4 e 5.

    First of all I am a Halo universe fan but not a fanboy. Well you may love Halo Infinite but need to remember the level od singleplayer and multiplayer is kinda different.
    Single player is focused on an open world with some tunneled missions. It really has an old Halo trilogy feeling. Graphics are great. Shooting is great with well done controls and mouse and keyboard support. Singleplayer is entertaining but have some flaws. Just to mention stupid AI of some enemies and your teammates. Let's say it's 7/10 and still one of the best halo experiences.
    Let's talk now about multiplayer. This one is just fantastic! It's like a mix of unreal tournament and more tactical counter strike. I did not have such a good fan in multi for years. Definitely one of the best on consoles. I only wish to have ranked matches improved to get rid of people leaving the match before it's end. Then it would be simply 10/10. I was playing on both controller and mouse keyboard, both have very good feeling, if you change some settings before.

Halo 5 yes you should play that too as well.......So all in all a great game

    Halo Infinite, la última entrega de la aclamada saga de videojuegos, ha generado grandes expectativas entre los fanáticos.

A través de una mirada crítica, descubriremos cómo Halo Infinite logra cautivar a los jugadores y, al mismo tiempo,Halo Infinite, la última entrega de la aclamada saga de videojuegos, ha generado grandes expectativas entre los fanáticos. En este ensayo, exploraremos en detalle los aspectos positivos y negativos del juego, desde su rendimiento técnico hasta la narrativa y la jugabilidad. A través de una mirada crítica, descubriremos cómo Halo Infinite logra cautivar a los jugadores y, al mismo tiempo, presenta desafíos y deficiencias que afectan su experiencia general.

    El apartado técnico de Halo Infinite presenta un rendimiento sólido, aunque no alcanza los anhelados 120 fotogramas por segundo de forma constante. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que la tasa de 60 fps se mantiene en la mayoría de las situaciones, lo que permite una jugabilidad fluida y satisfactoria.

    Uno de los aspectos más destacados de este juego es su historia. Desde el comienzo, la trama cautiva al jugador, generando intriga y dejándolo ávido de más. La introducción del personaje de Cortana añade una capa de emoción y familiaridad para los fanáticos de la saga. La narrativa logra transmitir el espíritu que todo seguidor de Halo busca, manteniendo un interés constante a medida que se desarrolla la trama.

    El apartado sonoro es otro punto fuerte de Halo Infinite. Los efectos de sonido, como los disparos, las pisadas y las explosiones, están cuidadosamente diseñados, brindando una experiencia auditiva inmersiva que complementa de manera efectiva la acción en pantalla.

    Sin embargo, no podemos obviar la presencia de ciertos bugs que afectan la experiencia de juego. Por ejemplo, el problema de las luces parpadeantes, que se presenta con mayor frecuencia en el modo cooperativo, interrumpe la inmersión y puede resultar molesto. Además, el bug en la misión "The Tower", que impide abrir una puerta y requiere reiniciar el juego, afecta negativamente el flujo de la narrativa y la progresión del jugador.

    En cuanto al diseño de niveles, los campamentos "FOB" se destacan por su ubicación estratégica, permitiendo un viaje rápido eficiente por el vasto mundo abierto del juego. Además, los tiempos de carga de pantalla son breves, lo cual es sumamente satisfactorio y evita interrupciones innecesarias en la experiencia de juego.

    Los vehículos, aunque un elemento esencial en el universo de Halo, se sienten desafortunadamente inútiles debido al terreno montañoso y poco amigable del juego. Esto provoca que se vuelquen con facilidad o se atoren en obstáculos, lo cual frustra al jugador y limita el disfrute de estas mecánicas clásicas.

    La implementación de habilidades en el juego es satisfactoria en general. Sin embargo, el proceso de cambio entre cada una puede resultar tedioso, especialmente cuando se utiliza el D-Pad como un laberinto de selección. Sería más conveniente y fluido tener la opción de mantener presionado RB y, luego, utilizar el D-Pad para seleccionar directamente la habilidad deseada.

    Además, se han identificado varios bugs que afectan la progresión del jugador, como el bug en la misión de destruir los antiaéreos, donde es necesario reiniciar el juego para completarla correctamente. Estos problemas interrumpen el flujo de la experiencia y generan frustración innecesaria.

    La música ambiental del juego merece un reconocimiento especial. La banda sonora logra capturar a la perfección la esencia y el ambiente del mundo de Halo, brindando una experiencia auditiva envolvente que añade profundidad emocional a la jugabilidad.

    El diseño del menú de habilidades y mejoras está bien implementado, proporcionando una presentación armoniosa y fácil de comprender. No resulta abrumador, pero tampoco se siente escaso, lo cual es un equilibrio importante en juegos de esta magnitud.

    En general, Halo Infinite ofrece una experiencia de juego satisfactoria, con una historia envolvente y un rendimiento técnico sólido. El modo campaña cumple con las expectativas de los fans de la saga, y el mundo abierto, a pesar de carecer de variedad de biomas, no desmerece la experiencia en general. Sin embargo, se siente repetitivo en su diseño, lo que afecta la sensación de exploración y diversidad.

    El modo multijugador, por otro lado, cumple con las expectativas de un juego de Halo, ofreciendo diferentes modos de juego y la posibilidad de jugar con amigos. Además, su rendimiento técnico es excelente.

    En conclusión, Halo Infinite logra cautivar a los jugadores con su narrativa envolvente y su apartado sonoro impecable. Aunque presenta ciertos desafíos técnicos y decisiones de diseño cuestionables, la experiencia general es satisfactoria para los seguidores de la saga. Halo Infinite nos sumerge una vez más en el universo de los anillos y nos brinda un emotivo cierre con el tema de Cortana, dejando a los verdaderos fanáticos de Halo satisfechos.

From changes to the linear levels that Bungie created 20 years ago and into an open world, this year is one of the biggest years Halo has had. That being said, the game isn't without its flaws. Coming from a long-time Halo fan, I was a bit disappointed that there was no variety in biomes, like the snow world in Halo: CE, or the urban areas in Halo 2. We are mainly left to explore the open world and the insides of buildings, which while is disappointing from a world perspective, is justified by just how big and interactive its open world is.

    Gameplay-wise, this is easily one of the best halos in terms of fluidity with its combat. It feels like 343 took the best parts of Halo CE: to 3's gun mechanics and created this type of gameplay that harks back to the Bungie days of combat. On foot or on a vehicle, you are bound to have a fun time. The grapple shot is one of the best additions that fit perfectly into Halo's combat without feeling like it is out of place. The way you can approach enemies with different weapons and from different angles in a variety of ways makes halo absolutely superb when it comes to that.

    Story-wise, I felt it was lacking a little bit. Following up the cluster of a mess that was Halo 5's story, 343 has definitely made some improvements by making the story more about Master Chief and his connection to Cortana, but it struggles at some points throughout the campaign. There are two new characters of main note here, where are the Echo-216 Pilot and Master Chief's new AI companion, nicknamed "The Weapon," which is voiced by the same character that plays both Cortana as well as Dr. Catherine Halsey. While the story is better than Halo 5's story, it didn't feel strong enough and it tends to fall short for both new players and veterans alike.

    There are great things that 343 has done here, and while it is not perfect, it is one of the best adventures we have had with Master Chief in years. It is most definitely a campaign that, while it may end up being forgettable, is a fun ride all the way through.

    I never really rate games but this is the game I’ve been wanting for years, can say I’m not too disappointed.

    Story is fun and enjoyable imo and I’ve always enjoyed open world games, I won’t get too much into it but if you ever want to try it, get Gamepass since it’ll be cheaper and depending on how many play throughs you’re planning to do. DLC stories would be interesting, for example

DLC stories would be interesting, for example playing as Blue Team or finding the flood, maybe even have a Buck side story!)

    MP is alot of fun with new gimmicks while keeping the old style of Halo, while I enjoyed H4/5 MP, this is a nice change of pace, without armor abilities and jet packs. It’s free with some customization available by only paying, hopefully in the future they add more helmets and armor pieces by challenges. (Would be pretty damn cool to see them make challenges for some armor pieces by only playing Halo MCC or 5, like Vidmaster)

    This game is missing a lot however, primarily the playlist, this should’ve been day one. While I enjoy the gameplay a whole lot, gets annoying playing Oddball for the 5th time while you need to play slayer for challenges. They said they’re working on the XP system and hopefully soon it’ll be similar to MCC. This game has so much potential and if it wants to keep it that way for the next 10 years, it’ll have to be as consistent as possible. Also, Sony fans, stop review bombing Halo just because, you have your own games which is just as great, stick to them and do something with your time. Not every game is going to be TLOU 2 or Spider-Man.

It rewards exploration on a level higher than any halo before. Not to mention how good the environments look and how fun it is to explore them. The grapple hook and the mountains call back to the urge of a skyrim player to climb as high as possible, and chances are, the player is rewarded for it, by an audio log or weapon or enemy encounter. The multiplayer doesn't feel as polished as halo 5 but 343 has shown that they will go back and improve according to feedback. The only problem I see becoming permanent is microtransactions, but those are unavoidable in a free to play game, and at least they are purely cosmetic, and there are ones you can unlock by playing the game. Also disappointed by a lack of forge and coop as well as how players can buy their way through the battle pass, but these things either can or will be remedied in the future. Expand

    Ahora hablare de la campaña: es buena, pero no es tán épica como la de otros Halo. Creo que le falta algo, me parece que no te introducen bien al juego y no puedes ver consecuencia reales de que pasará si fallas.

    Ahora hay cosas que de verdad no me gustaron:
    * No tener multijugador en la campaña
    * No poder re-jugar las misiones
    * Falta de biomas en el Halo: Los mapas no son muy variados: bosques, instalaciones furerunner y naves espaciales. Antes teníamos pantanos, nieve, playa y desiertos.

Espero sigan con esta historia y no den otro salto canónico.
    En cuanto el multi jugador he de decir que tiene mucho que desear, entiendo que sea “free to play” pero las micro transacciones son excesivas, es molesto que las armaduras solo se desbloqueen con el pase o teniendo que invertir dinero, en cuanto a lo técnico las armas parecen de juguete, te obliga a dar tiros a la cabeza pues si tiras al cuerpo parecen esponjas y tardas demasiado en eliminar al jugador, el radar es el peor de todos los Halo queriendo copiar a otras franquicias como Call of Duty donde los enemigos solo aparecen si disparan o corren, falta de modos de juegos y mapas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tbh this game is getting a bad rap right now from fake reviewers (aka salty Sony Ponies) and their bombing on this site. Like, seriously there are real things to criticise with this game but barley anyone gives out an honest and fair review, sad really.

    So far i'm really enjoying myself in both the linear missions and open world areas, calling this map "Ubisoft-like" would be really dishonest. FOBs, Outposts, collectibles are all much more dynamic and interesting to play through thanks to Infinite's Ai and sandbox. Every encounter is different due to enemy placement and objectives, it's all really engaging. Best part is that you can fight through them however you want, you can break through the base with a tank or pepper enemies from the sky with the Wasp. Or you can sneak in behind and catch the enemy by surprise. It's all up to you. The gameplay is solid, very responsive and fluid, weapons that are garbage in multiplayer are amazing in campaign (Pulse carbine and Ravager). Equipment is amazing, grapple hook steals the show as always, cant say much more that hasn't already been said. There are many fun weapon variants to toy around with in the open world. Buuuuuuut, the lack of unique biomes was a huge punch in the gut for me. Don't get me wrong the game is beautiful (defo isn't the best looking next-gen game as its cross-gen but it still looks great imo) but i would've loved a snow area or a swamp biome to break up the same-y woodland aesthetic.

    Bosses? Decent. Halo has never had a good history when it comes to boss fights but Infinite seems to get it right for the first time in series history. They aren’t bullet sponges, you can destroy them with the right strategy and weaponry and i wouldn't have it any other way. They all act completely different from one another and offer unique challenges (Chak-Lok and his invisibility, Tremonius and his jet pack ect).

    Story? So far i'm enjoying it, not nearly as perfect as Halo 2 but its serviceable, i love The Weapon and The Pilot as characters right now. Chief is a complete badass, his one liners are perfect, harkening back to Halo 2s awesome Master Chief moments. However, i'm really disappointed in the fact that (spoiler) Atriox died....OFF SCREEN!!!!!! Like damn man you give us that awesome cutscene between him and Chief in the beginning but you don't give us more????? Uggh i was so mad when i heard the brutes talking about his death. Cutscenes are high quality and voice acting is perfect, Jen Taylor you are a treasure!!! Esharum so far is a decent antagonist, i love his friendly rivalry with the Chief. He has a mutual respect for him and lives for combat, like he is pumped to finally have a purpose again. Esharum has been been War Chiefton of The Banished but ever since he won against the UNSC he's just been so bored and feels empty because of it. I like that concept for a villain, especially for a brute.

    Bugs? Very few. Only crashed once. Fairly stable.

    A la campaña le pongo un 8.5, siento que le falto mas contenido, el juego practicamente me lo acabe en un dia, comenze a las 1 pm dia 08 y lo termine el dia 09 a las 6 am.
    En cuestion del multiplayer lo califico con un 8.0, no por su jugabilidad ni por su pase, esos 2 puntos se lo resto por la comunidad, ya que se salen mucho de las clasificatorias y no hay penalidad, y eso frustra mucho. espero la sig temporada para volver a calificar. :3

    Didnt played the campaign (im in a third world country and 60 is a lot, my country doesnt have GamPass support) but most Halo fans and HaloTubers are pretty amazed, so this is a MP review
    Halo Infinite has a lot of problems but overall is a pretty god game, sadly 343 didnt had enough time/coordination to polish it (seems like went troguh development hell), is pretty addictive but

    Halo Infinite has a lot of problems but overall is a pretty god game, sadly 343 didnt had enough time/coordination to polish it (seems like went troguh development hell), is pretty addictive but personally i get bored because i was playing at 30 FPS and 120 ping thats my fault but even that is pretty funny, most weapons feels balanced, with some tweaks they could be pretty good IMO.
    and about the review bombing is prerty curious that
    -some reviewers gave 10/10 to TLOU II (worse than CoD BO4) or to a PS exclusive and 0 to Xbox games/exclusives
    -some people are complaining about the microtransactions (they're bad, but not bad as CoD)
    -some claims that Halo 1 looks better... bruh...
    Final conclussion: Infinite is the best Halo game that 343 made, and with some fixes they could eventually surpass Halo 3, is not that bad as some peoples claim, but lets be honest, it isnt perfect and it isnt a masterpiece
    -Steam "user score" is basically 80/100

    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]
