    Great story, and the best gameplay and sandbox in the series but it it underutilized. The game lacks large scale sandbox battles such as scarab fights. Could use some quality of life fixes as well

    The gunplay feels fantastic and the pace of the fights is timed to perfection. The open world felt really expansive and I got to create a lot of my own moments. The story was an unexpected standout. Caps things off perfectly while setting the stage for the future. Loved it It’s not perfect by any means but it’s certainly for me. Hats off to 343

    Gameplay is some of the best in the series:
    Movement is smooth and shooting feels great. Bosses are well done and fairly challenging (save for a few). The games narrative falls a little short.

The Pilot also becomes fairly important to the overall story. What was in there it does well, the only real criticism I have is positive if anything: I wish there was more.
    When the credits rolled I felt like there should've been so much more happening. Hopefully the DLCs will address this craving. Overall, a FANTASTIC game.    … Expand

    Halo Infinite es la mejor experiencia del jefe maestro.

    Desde la banda sonora, hasta el gameplay, todo se siente más halo que nunca.

    La historia es tremenda, el mundo abierto se siente muy bien, aunque le metería más biomas y animales, los enemigos y la IA son bastante buenos y la elección del Arma y El piloto como compañía son excelentes.

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

    Se me hace un muy buen juego, tiene un gran potencial para añadir contenido nuevo en futuras expansiones.
    El multijugador siento que le faltan varios modos de juego y contenido, además que el sistema de monetización y progreso es malo, espero que lo mejoren pronto

    This game is honestly extremely fun to play. I played through the whole campaign and it blew me away. The multiplayer feels like halo 3/reach whilst keeping it modern. Also I’m laughing at all these 0/10 reviews

Let me start with the SINGLE-PLAYER campaign…. This is absolutely the most fun I have had playing a halo campaign since Reach. The intro was incredibly cinematic with music hitting at just the right moments to give you all the feels. If you’re a long time halo fan I feel like you will immediately smile hearing the score and watching the scenes play out. I am going to 100% this game for sure, I will say the open world does seem a little sparse when it comes to wild life but rescuing marines and plowing through enemy defenses is so fun. If you have a moment sneak up on enemies and listen to their dialogue please do, it is hilarious. There is a little bit of a disconnect between open world and story, if you choose to you can completely explore the ring and ignore campaign objectives so it takes you out of that cinematic experience if that’s how you choose to play. Overall I’m completely satisfied with the campaign that I am playing through my game-pass subscription (no need for 60.00 entry here) I just wish this had co-op at launch because I foresee a lot of hilarious shenanigans with friends on this halo ring come may of next year. MULTIPLAYER: this game runs smooth AF, playing on a series x and this is the best that gunplay has felt again since reach. Currently lvl 54 on multiplayer and loving the battle pass but I can see why progression is currently an issue. luckily 343 has implemented some fixes and has more on the way. People upset at micro transactions need to understand it’s F2P and all games do this, if you don’t want to pay money for cosmetics then don’t it’s that simple. But the glaring issue i see with this game and why I didn’t rate it a 10 is because the amount of playlist customization the MCC has (which is a game by 343) you think they would have implemented those search abilities for infinite… why can’t we select our own game types 343?! I love this game and am very excited to see where this story and multiplayer leads, love you halo and my halo fam.… Expand

    If this game was made by Naughty Dog, story would be horrible, Weapon would kill Master Chief in first hour or so and this big bad guy would win. Thankfully it's made by 343 and story and characters are great, beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack and fun gameplay!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра в плане сюжета не такая глобальная в сравнении с другими частями halo, но для меня, эта игра как просто отдых от вечных американских горок и которая посвещаня только самому Мастеру Чифу как персонажу, а не как двигателем глобальных войн.

    Сюжетная игра сосредаточено на самом Мастере Чифе, который как Марио идёт спасать свою Картану, ты можешь проникнуть не только этим лором, но и то что оставили солдаты после войны.
    Изучая это всё, ты начинаешь понимать, что лор даже в такой маленькой для франшизы части тоже может быть на уровне, даже от части переплюнув прошлые работы 343i

    Левл дизайн... Те журналюги говорили что типа 2 часа проходили одинаковые коридоры в начале, НА ЛЕГКОЙ СЛОЖНОСТИ КАРЛ! Так вот, я их прошел за 20 минут, собрав все голосовые послания, и впринцепи не почувствовал скуки.
    Сам левл дизайн тебе помогает сделать разнообразную игру, если ты сам понимаешь как в эту игру играть.

    Геймплей самый лучший в серии лично для меня, стал быстрее, намнооооооооооого.

    И да, сони бои, попробуйте, просто попробуйте сами в неё поиграть на пк, и составьте нормальную критику. Будьте людьми скажем так) А так, всем удачи) и желаю приятной игры!    … Expand

    Halo Infinite proves why 343 was perfect company to take over Halo! They wrote beautiful story for Halo 4 and while Halo 5 was bad (Every company makes mistakes), they also wrote beautiful story for Halo Infinite! But now gameplay is also fun, going open world was great idea, hopefully they expand on that idea with next Halo games or DLC's.

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.    … 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]
