    Awesome game, but the people review bombing because they can’t stand any other game than Fortnite or COD winning a game award that no one cares about are cringe. Maybe go touch some grass.

    Halo Infinite, a pesar de los recortes que sufrió, es un juego en el cuál puedes pasar horas sin tocar la trama principal, es un mundo que en un mapa se ve pequeño pero el estar allí, explorarlo, ver, descubrir, puedes perderte por horas.

    La historia principal es maravillosa ya que se vuelve a tocar un punto olvidado de Halo y es la humanidad del Jefe Maestro, se explora su parte humana a la vez que nos enfrentamos contra los desterrados y aunque estos no son muy difíciles individuales en comparación de otras entregas de Halo, un mal paso y estás acabado, el sonido, el movimiento todo me pareció un deleite y un regreso a las raíces del juego e incluyendo cosas nuevas, es un juego que deberías definitivamente probar.    … Expand

    This game is mind-blowing-ly good. I love all the halo games (except 5) and this game does not disappoint. In fact, this is my favourite halo game!

    Mon verdict sur cet Infinite (fini en 20h30 en héroïque)...

    Globalement j'ai beaucoup apprécié le jeu, j’ai cru un moment ne pas avoir le récit entre Guardian et celui-ci, mais ce fut résumé (très succinctement malheureusement) durant la campagne

    Ce qui est perfectible :
    - la différenciation des éléments (caisse / stockage) fait et non fait (gris clair vs gris c’est pas top) sur la map
    - pas assez d’ennemie répartie sur la map (a mon goût)
    - pas de rejouabilité (pour le moment) des missions
    - indication des nouveaux élément débloqué dans le multi inexistant
    - les soldats qui sont relativement abrutis dans les camps de base
    - les combats en mode "libre" moins stressant que ceux durant les missions (de part la taille de la map et la facilité à sniper à outrance)
    - Les graphisme parfois vraiment pas top
    - un peu trop d'armes au sol et globalement partout, c'est rare d'être totalement à court de munition

    Mais j’ai adoré :
    - Cortana v2 et son caractère naïf et innocent
    - Les répliques des grognards (et globalement tous les ennemies)
    - l’IA qui cherche à te contourner pour te mettre en pression durant les combats
    - l’Histoire (forcement)
    - les boss fight plutôt costaud et intense (vu qu’ils sont tous 3 fois plus rapide que nous et surtout bien plus costaud)
    - ce sentiment de satisfaction à chaque fois qu’on fini une épreuve un peu beaucoup tendu
    - ... les chasseurs…. (qui te file ce sentiment de : "ho putain pas eux") :)
    - des secrets..... vraiment bien caché
    - des clins d'oeil excellent :)
    - Les capacités de move apporté par le grappin et les propulseurs
    - la variétés des armes et leur capacité à mettre à mal les ennemies en étant plus ou moins efficace suivant qui se trouve en face (et ne pas oublier qu'on ne porte que 2 armes) le switch est donc primordial avec les armes trouvé à terre tout en continuant d'esquiver les nombreuses attaques

    Je n'ai rencontré qu'un seul bug de son durant toute la campagne lors d'une fin de mission à transition (mais enchainement sur le lore où la sauvegarde à été effectué, donc j'ai juste eu a reboot le jeu).

    Sans conteste le jeu à faire en cette fin d'années    … Expand

    El juego está genial, mecánicas y combate mucho más fluido que anteriores entregas, el mundo abierto es hermoso y lo que más me gustó aparte de la mecánica del Arpón, es el sistema de puestos de avanzada para poder equipar las armas que más gustes o te den ventaja para cada misión, armas que debes ir consiguiendo en misiones secundarias

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The campaign was great, definitely felt like I missed some of the linear set pieces from previous games, great assaults with other marines/Spartans. But an ok alternative was rounding up marines at an FOB, decking them out in gear and driving over to a objective in a Razorback, their combat AI is pretty good I enjoyed immersing myself in the atmosphere.

    I thought the story was at times slightly confusing, like the inclusion of the harbringer who wasn’t that well explained, but maybe in another game she will. The other villains were easier to understand, the banished are a great faction and the boss fights were fun, I felt very vulnerable as I swung, dodged and drop wall shielded myself from attacks.

    A very satisfying and addicting Halo game that has captured so much of the essence of the series through changing its formula    … Expand

However, where the campaign and Multiplayer play amazing, it felt disappointing hearing the cut out content for both, missing armor for multiplayer, and lack of biomes in campaign, not to mention there are no armor unlocks for multiplayer found through the campaign, only paints. And you can only get armor and such through the battlepass or the shop. I enjoy the core aspects of the game but the customization definitely needs an improvement, along with custom games and more playlists. Future updates will add in Forge, and I would hope more content for campaign and more armor and such in multiplayer.… Expand

Mixing both classic elements of what makes Halo... Halo! And evolving itself with new mechanics within the game play.

    The story beats, music, atmosphere all of it comes together perfectly in my opinion. And this is just the campaign side of things. The multiplayer has had its missteps. But I attribute all of that to the dismal microtransaction system. Throwing that fact aside. The rest of multiplayer is amazing and has me excited for the future of Halo Infinite.

    Though some may not agree. This game is an absolute 10 for me. Just from campaign alone. I will be playing through this one a multitude of times and I am SO INCREDIBLY excited for the future DLC coming to Halo Infinite. Further expanding on the phenomenal foundation 343 has built for this game. 343 Industries, if one or more of you happen to read this. I hope you all maintain the recipe you have here. Because currently, the flavor of this game is superb.

    If you haven't played this one yet, definitely give it a shot. And play the previous entries as well. You wont regret it.    … Expand

    It's incredible that the game launched as polished and fun as it is with the trouble it went through in it's development, which speaks to the talent on the team.

The future is bright if 343 continues to develop Infinite over it's lifetime.

    I think the worst thing that can happen that nobody is talking about is 343 letting more talent get lost in another round of revolving door contracts, especially the people responsible for the well received aspects of the game. Forget the store, monetization, battle pass issues. All of these things can be addressed with feedback and talented developers to make the changes needed. Seems like losing the knowledge and experience working with a proprietary engine to expiring contracts would really hurt 343's ability to continue to improve on Infinite's launch.    … Expand

    I did not expect that Halo Infinite would be a hit after all that he has been through, but it turns out it's solid. That doesn't necessarily mean it's good or bad, but in a period where the latest FPS' are full of bugs, weak, and not cured; Halo feels nostalgically good, bringing back players to the golden age of what FPS was like.

    Halo Infinite doesn't make the same mistakes that Halo 5 did. It takes an old formula and tweaks it just that much to make it look new and fresh, without sacrificing the nostalgic feeling and the player fan base who wanted a more classic approach; and it does that for every single thing in the game other than the graphics, which looks good, but still have some pop-up issues and the texture resolution is pretty low, a compromise needed to run the game on old-gen console.
    Even the music has been taken from Halo 3 and changed just slightly to make it feel fresh and new, the reality is that it's a failed attempt to create an incredible soundtrack like Bungie did. 343 once again proved that it cannot create good music, as the newer song added in the game feels either too loud and annoying, or mild and forgettable.
    The campaign tries to bring a more direct and easy-to-understand story, explaining what happened to Cortana and narrating the new bonds that create between Master Chief, the Weapon, and the Pilot. It succeeds, but in doing that, it creates some holes and blackouts in the trama, that must be solved in the next Halo. It seems like 343 wants to keep doing that so that the Halo franchise will never die. To me, it's just the easy way to never end a story that has been going on for far too long, while maintaining the flagship title in the Microsoft console.
    One thing that is new and nice is the side quests and collectibles that fit perfectly in the open world. There is always something to do in the Halo and the feeling of warfare is there, whether it's a rescuing mission, or a blitz to a Banished facility, the feeling of bringing 5 marines with your Razorback or blowing up stuff with a Scorpion is genuinely fun.
    I would have liked to see those on all the Halo, but for some reason, half of the map it's reserved for the last main quest. Half a map of an already small world it's definitely too much to let through without complaining.
    I said that halo is solid, and it is. The feedback of the weapon in Halo infinite it's spectacular. Every weapon has a distinct and clear sound, while also having its own very specific vibration on the character at the screen, but mostly on the controller. The only FPS surpassing this level of feedback it's given by COD Cold War on the DualSense controller, but obviously, Halo can't beat it, without the haptic feedback of its hardware.
    Talking about guns, every one of them feels in place. There are no weapons that feel out of pace; every one of them has its strong and weak points, maybe the only exception it's the Commando, which should replace the DRM, but it just feels like a weaker version of an assault rifle.
    The melee now has a lounge, which can (or not) be appreciated, but it works as a projectile, rather than an AoE damage, which means that in some closed combat situations you might miss a melee by a millimeter because you didn't aim at point-blank (which makes no sense at all).
    Even with a lot of defects, Halo Infinite it's way too fun to not like, and considering that its multiplayer is free, it's way too fun not to play.

    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]
