    Halo has always been my favourite franchise but this modern gaming stuff has to stop. I am sure all good reviews are from early gameplay and the hype of campaign.

    Game is incomplete and broken. Not multiple playlist and game variations, no coop, no forge, no good theatre, no level select on campaign. The ranked is broken and punishes you in a way that takes the fun out of it. The game is    Halo has always been my favourite franchise but this modern gaming stuff has to stop.

    The game is boring with such lacking content. Btb is awful in comparison to halo 3. The story is bad since halo 5. Might be the best master chief but the campaign lacks epic moments most of the cool **** happens in audio logs. They desecrated one of the main character for no reason and no true explanation. I am sorry but 343 has to go. 3/3 strikes.    … Expand

    Story in not the strongest part of the Halo series, as usual. But the game itself feels comfortable and enjoyable. It's peasant to ride, shoot and explore here.

    I think the biggest issue for me was that the game’s writers had an unfortunate tendency to introduce these really dramatic, emotional crescendos before the player had a chance to really like the protagonists. It seemed too early to have Master Chief playing the role of sympathetic father, or to have another main character crying about his identity—those scenes could have been shorter and kept closer to the end of the game, when the writers had more emotional capital to cash in with the audience.

    It was a normal AAA FPS game, and I had fun, but it wasn’t spectacular.    … Expand

    Not a return to form. Terrible multiplayer maps, barely functioning netcode makes multiplayer very unfun. Not to mention a bland single player with a broken checkpoint system which makes for a slog to play through. Average visuals for 2022 as well. Oh for the days of Bungie.

    This game is polished, performant, visually pleasing, and a heck of a lot of fun.

    It really sucks that user reviews are so unnecessarily toxic. There aren't very many games that are deserving of a 0, like...a 0 would be like asking 60 dollars and getting only a logo for the game and nothing else. Halo: infinite is fun as **** both campaign and MP are awesome.

    This game is absolutely beautiful. There will be moments where I'm climbing up a mountain with the grapple hook and when I get onto the top beautiful music kicks in. The gameplay is absolutely outstanding and overall this game is a huge improvement over the absolute disaster halo 5 and 4 were. To sum this game up:
    10 out of 10 the killer app for Xbox.

    Halo Infinite evolved the gameplay and storytelling in a semi-open world aspect with great success. It encapsulated the lore well enough to deliver an interesting story but failed in an overlooked way. The game, inspite of being open world feels off in sense of different environments.

    (Note: This is all story mode, I do not do PvP.) It's not a bad game. However, it isn't really all that great either. I've played all the other Halo games and this is the first where the story was too weak to hold my interest. Gameplay in general feels inferior to Halo 5.

Gameplay in general feels inferior to Halo 5. Various game mechanics are simply given to you and their use is not explained. This made the first boss fight (the elite that could cloak himself) after I reached the open world part far more difficult than it should have been. Halo 5 got the weapons perfect, but Infinite feels like a few steps backward in their handling, ADS behavior and general balance. The very first squad I tried to rescue wasn't anywhere near where it was indicated on the map and it was a real pain to get to where they actually were. The grappling mechanic was clunky to say the least, and only seemed to work when it wanted to. Co-op not being included at release was a major oversight, and I may try it again when I can tag team it with a friend or two. Overall, like I said, it's not a bad game, but it doesn't really feel right and is having a hard time keeping my interest. It just is what it is, and what it is is below what I expect from Halo.… Expand

    This story combines perfectly “the banished” arc with master chief's. Most missions didn’t feel repetitive and challenged you to use the new abilities master chief got. The overall graphic design made me fall as if I was 7 again playing Halo 3, made me nostalgic. Great game and great way to come back after Halo 5.

    The gameplay is fluid and fantastic. The story is really good and better then the last three games .Most of the issues like monetization have been fixed and everything else i dont really care for. Just missing a few things that's all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo infinite is 343's attempt at winning the trust of the Halo community back. Overall they have kind of succeeded. To start with positives I think the graphics and presentation are solid. environments on max settings look flawless and while the enemies on closeup could use some work, it doesn't take away. The gameplay is roughly the same as previous Halo games but with the added grapple hook. For once, however, the grapple hook is actually a good new feature mainly because it can be used in a variety of ways. You can just grapple around the map, or grapple on an enemy, or grapple and explosive and throw it at an enemy, It works really well. However what works less well is the newest feature, the open world. Halo has done what thousands of games have done before which is have general story content in one area with dozens of side missions and collectibles scattered around a baron wasteland, and it really doesn't work the best in this case. The open-world Halo concept is good but the execution is abysmal. The easiest way to fix it is to have different weathers occasionally or to change the environments from grassy mountains. Maybe have different biomes to show the player they have made progress. The last thing to talk about is the story, which is my biggest issue. 343 had written themselves into a corner with Halo 5 and most of this game's story is trying to retcon that, and while the retconning works, it gives this game a less grand feeling. The protagonists have solid camaraderie and I am happy to finally see a well-written supporting character. I think Esparza should have been in the game more because he's the one character that players can latch on to, but I can't say the same for the villains. The game I would say has 4 villains, which is really unnecessary. Escharum is very underutilized and doesn't feel like a legitimate threat because he never makes any big plays. If he was replaced with Atriox, a character who was shown in previous games and the opening of this game, then the story would have worked better. Blademaster was underused and the harbinger is 343's brand of an evil alien race that master chief has to defeat. If you had 2 villains and nothing more the game would be significantly better. Overall, a good step in the right direction for 343 but an overall meh to a decent 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]
