    The story hit the mark for me, mysterious and emotional. It kept me hooked until the end.

    The game-play was so much fun, even though a grappling hook is nothing revolutionary, it was implemented right and it made the game a blast.

    Not a big multiplayer guy, so you may take this with a grain of salt, but I did play for about 10 hours and I did have fun, but I hated a few maps (especially the desert one), and the good ones got boring pretty quick since there were not many in total.    … Expand

    Very solid fps game! I'm not a huge halo guy, but I enjoy this game. Gunplay is fun and so is traversing the different maps. Not the best fps I've ever played but a very solid one. Good job Microsoft.

    It's the best halo game so far, the open world gives a new perspective to this classic series but it's just a regular game overall, it's not bad but is not amazing to, worth play it if you played other halo franchise games.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Everything except the graphics of the Halo infinite game in the campaign section is great. But it suffers from many problems in multiplayer. Like getting boring, very bad battle pass, bad reward system and also poor support from the developer team. If you are someone who cares about the campaign part, Halo Infinite will definitely be a fun experience for you.

Halo infiniti es una gran campaña de mundo abierto donde puedas explorar todo el terreno para poder ver y encontrar los secretos del anillo, siento que la jugabilidad es uno de sus mejores o mejor apartado gracias a su variedad de habilidades y armas que incluye este juego.

    Las misiones es un apartado que me gustó pero a la vez se sienten algo repetitivas en algunas ocasiones y en otras muy extendidas pero aún así te dan una muy buena experiencia

    Una de las pocas cosas que no me gustaron fueron las calaveras que algunas se encuentran por el mapa y está bien pero otras debes encontrarlas en ciertas misiones y si no la encontraste pues tendrás que hacer una nueva campaña y repetir la misión, otra cosas es que hay una calavera en la última misión así que te recomiendo ver un vídeo para conseguirla El mapa se me hizo un apartado exelente pero siento que pudo ser un poco más grande y le falta una variedad de biomas cómo selvas playas al estilo de Halo Ce

    The mechanics of Halo Infinite are nearly perfect, however, the game is plagued with issues that bring the score down a little. The issues include:

    * Server problems.
    * Small player population.
    * Lacklustre shop.

    If you want to play an FPS that feels like the polished and basic games of old then Halo Infinite is perfect. However, you will be dealing with a few issues.

    Overall this is a great game. But the fans are not used to an open world which reduced the quality of the story and narrative. The gun play is still top as always.

    J'ai passé de nombreuses heures à jouer en solo en multi que ce soit dans les modes spéciaux ou à grind la ranked et j'ai vraiment bien aimé mais j'ai le sentiment qu'il manquait quelque chose qui n'a jamais vu le jour sur Halo infinite et qui ne le verra jamais.
    La campagne en monde ouvert est malheureusement décevante avec un plutôt bon début mais on est rapidement confronté au vide du monde ouvert qui nous est offert. Celui-ci se résume à voyager jusqu'à l'emplacement de la quête principale sans réel intérêt à côté. De plus, l'histoire est ok mais du tout incroyable et de ce que j'ai pu regarder, pas à la hauteur des premiers Halo 1, 2 et 3.
    Je suis partagé entre 7 et 8 (on peut pas mettre 7.5 ...) mais mis à part cela, j'ai quand même bon souvenir du jeu et je me rappelle que j'avais passé de bons moments sur celui-ci.    … Expand

    From an absolutely compelling story centered on strategy and longevity, if you can show restrain from running through the campaign you will be rewarded with side missions, and other activities that are each unique and story compelling. As you navigate the newest ring, you'll find that gameplay is overall smooth(I even had it on my turd of a console -A day one Xbox One X- rather than a Series X) and with the fresh new set of abilities for Chief to master. You'll find these new gadgets suited to assist you in synergy with the others constantly throughout the campaign.

    The addition of mini-bosses, and end of level bosses adds a personal touch to each segment of the game as you feel rewarded for persevering through to exhaust the seemingly infinite foe in front of you. Adding further to the each new game will be unique aspect, as you climb further up the difficulty list that end mission boss fight feels that much sweeter after ripping through hordes of mixed and intelligent enemies.

    And for the enemies themselves the new and returning enemies we have come to know have been kicked up q notch with voice acting for each and every type of enemy and ally in the game. Creating scenario specific dialog you may not get without a little creativity, further adding to its campaign replayablitiy.

    The finest Halo i have personally seen since I overused my poor Halo Reach copy so many years ago. With faith restored in 343 to make a great and compelling game I look forward to years of advancement on Halo Infinite and its inevitable and expected sequel. Strap in Spartans this one will live on for a while.    … Expand

    The story, new characters, multiplayer maps and gameplay are all amazing, but the open world is just one grassy area and that's it. Besides that, this is the best Halo since Reach and would be even more amazing if 343 was actually not terrible enough to update the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The masterchief returns with a bang

    Halo infinite sees a somewhat return to form with halo,it's art style more classic than what we've seen from previous titles and set in an open world section of zeta halo

    Campaign wise it's an epic campaign with glorious set pieces and characters you'll love,and characters you'll want to remove from the board

    It follows the masterchief,a cortana clone (the weapon) and a lone pilot,as you fight the banished across a range of open world and enclosed spaces,the banished are a foe to be reckoned with led by the brute chieftain Escharum,you'll fight those with a reputation for killing Spartans and dispatch then as needed

    Weapon wise you have a range of classic and newer weapons,only problem is the lack of viable ground vehicles when traversing the ring

    It's multiplayer is a mixed bag,right now we're 4 seasons in and it's finally where it should have been at launch,up until now it has been rough

    It's forge I leagues ahead anything we've seen in previous halo games,with the ability to create some incredible maps that are that we would see from Devs themselves,many are also available in matchmaking right now to play including a range of classic halo maps,remade perfectly

    Games definitely worth playing and it's free for its MP and the campaign is available via Xbox Gamepass    … Expand

    Probably the best Halo campaign 343 has done but, IMO, still doesn’t quite reach the bar set by the Bungie original trilogy. Close, though.

Close, though. Story was decent but I probably would have been lost if I hadn’t just redone full playthroughs of Halo 1 through 5 of the month before release. Even then, I don’t feel like they did a great job setting up the Banished or why the Elites are willingly working for Brute leadership. And I really disliked Echo-216 despite his plot twists, which made a major portion of the campaign story feel less impactful overall. The plot twist for the Weapon was predictable from five miles away, especially if you collected the audio logs along the way. The biggest problem with the story is it doesn't really go anywhere. It exists to 'fix' the silly decisions they made with Cortana in Halo 4 and Halo 5 and, by the end, essentially serves as a soft reboot for the Master Chief.

    Difficulty is all over the place. Rank-and-file enemies are easy, even on Legendary. But bosses have a difficulty spike on Heroic and Legendary that is almost in the realm of Dark Souls. Punishing unless you learn their patterns, and with a host of cheap abilities that can easily kill you if you make one mistake. The final three bosses are extremely punishing.

    I'm really torn on how I feel about the open world of the game. It's very Ubisoft-y, which is to say it's loaded with collectibles and sidequests that are only tangentially linked to the main story. The Banished High Value Targets, for example. Like other similar open world games, it becomes rote about half way in. That said, I found it less boring than actual Ubisoft open worlds, likely due to the speed of map traversal and the quick access to vehicles. On the same topic, I was a bit disappointed in the armor unlocks found throughout the world. They are mostly color schemes and a handful of weapon charms. But like the story, the open world really goes nowhere. Liberating outposts and taking over Banished outposts have no meaningful effect on the world or the game. Once you leave, enemies just respawn. The game feels like it's trying to straddle two worlds: It starts with two linear missions before dumping you out into the open world, then spends the entire third act as a linear narrative that doesn't allow you to return to the open world at all. The open world is a very shallow sandbox that feels like an afterthought.

    The campaign is riddles with bugs - from achievements that don't properly unlock, to dumb enemy AI in vehicles, frequent audio cutouts, and several instances of graphical stutter, sometimes with graphical freezes lasting a full 5+ seconds -- and this was on Series X and happened in both Performance and Quality modes.

    This game should be called what it is: Retail Early Access. Taken as a whole, including both campaign and multiplayer (because Halo has never in its history been campaign only), this game is missing a lot of features that are/were considered staples of the Halo franchise. By 343's own statements, many of these things won't be around for months. By this time next year, we'll have something resembling a complete game with campaign coop, forge, more maps, more modes, dedicated playlists, bug and server stability fixes, mission/level replay, etc. -- all things that are lacking at launch. Releasing an incomplete product and patching in major things later is becoming far too common practice from 343. They did it with Halo: MCC, Halo 5, and now Halo Infinite.

    Alas, the Halo bias is strong. If ANY OTHER game launched with this many missing features across campaign and MP, myriad bugs, missing graphical features on PC and next gen, and widespread complaints about multiplayer monetization, it wouldn't be getting 8's, 9's and 10's. In its current state I give it a solid 7 with the possibility to become a 9 over the next several months. But I can only review what we have in front of us now, and it's missing too many things, has too many bugs, to score it any higher.    … 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]
