    Eu no início me perguntava se um mundo semi aberto seria uma boa ideia, e com o tempo eu percebi que isso foi uma das melhores coisas do jogo. O nível de liberdade que você tem é incrível, tudo isso aliado a uma gameplay incrível e a uma história fantástica que eu não via na franquia a muito tempo.

    TLDR: Good, but not without flaws.

    Hi, and yes I am here because I heard some people are giving 0 and 10 because of their feeling overwhelms them and cannot make logical decisions, I pity them. People giving 0s and 10s are unreasonable, I do not think this game is bad enough to give 0 nor do I think it's a perfect game to give 10. I played the game and it was pretty good, the game    TLDR: Good, but not without flaws.

    I played the game and it was pretty good, the game play is fluent, I personally liked the story. The enemy AI and boss fight is engaging and sweating (I am playing on legendary). But I hardly can say the game is without flaws. first of all, some parts of the game just feels too easy, I am playing legendary, and some parts are like is this it??? There were just too little enemies. The Elites AI was great they move very fast and they engage you when you are hiding, but the brutes and always just stand there waiting to be headshoted. The level and the open world seems a little empty some times, I loved the the views but it's a game, I am not here just to look at scenery alone.

    Anyway, this is a good game and I liked it, though could be better and 343 should make the game better since this is a live service game. I don't make these reviews often, I just can take people who are here giving 0s and 10s based only on their emotions, emotions are good, but review are for people to read and understand your reasoning why you like it or not, and then they can make decisions, not your emotion garbage can.    … Expand

This game is amazing! Get it, Play it, Enjoy it!

    THE REALITY PILL (REVIEW no spoilers)
    GAMEPLAY: 10
    Gunplay feels great and mechanics are tight. The grapple hook and Spartan cores add to the game.

    GRAPHICS: 8
    Graphics are very good but not earth shattering as this is a cross gen game. The game engine scales extremely well between Xbox One, One X and Series Consoles (I have all 3). The art direction in Infinite is closer to the Bungie games. The extra year of polish did the game justice.

    CAMPAIGN: 9 The story is great for returning players. If you are new to Halo I recommend watching a story recap on YouTube. The characters and writing is good. The Pilot’s drive to survive conflicts with Master Chiefs sense of duty. The new AI is naive and Chief takes more of a leading role between the two. The open world allows for variety on how to attack scenarios. The world is not too big and I s full of conflict to keep you engaged and on your toes. It is just the right size where it doesn’t feel overwhelming or cluttered with too many side quests. I only wish that the environment had more variety. The lack of co-op knocked the score down a point but I do believe your first play through should be solo.

    MOTION: 9 On Series X campaign is buttery smooth at 60fps and a huge difference compared to base Xbox One.

    SOUND: 10
    With familiar scores and new music this game sounds incredible. They really put a lot of effort here.

    MULTIPLAYER: 8
    The Fun factor is a 10. There are some issues that 343i has acknowledged are fixing like progression system and modes but gameplay is solid. This is the most fun I have ever had in a multiplayer shooter ever.

    FUN FACTOR: 10
    Heroic is challenging and will test your skills without feeling unfair.

    REPLAYABILITY: 10
    Lots to do and explore and Multiplayer is amazing keeping you coming back for more.

    OVERALL SCORE: 9 MY RANT: Anyone giving this game a low score is just review bombing. METACRITIC should do a better job of preventing extremely low scores (0-3) that are pure fanboy nonsense. Maybe have it where a minimum player score is a 5 so it has less negative impact on the scoring system and we get a better sense of how any game truly scores. Just my thoughts.

    Thanks for reading and making it this far! GAME ON!    … Expand

    The PVP aspect of Halo Infinite hits a perfect blend of balanced guns, over the top physics that tend to impact everything in the world, and that "I've got to play one more match" feeling. The campaign extends on this with a new level of traversal that feels like it should have been in Halo since the very beginning. You cannot go wrong with Halo Infinite.

    I’ve been sceptical of Halo games since 343 took over. I didn’t like the Halo 4 & 5 campaigns and I was worried how the open world would work in a Halo game. I finished the Halo Infinite campaign last night and I was blown away at how fun it was. Really beautiful world to explore with plenty to do, side quests are optional. The story was short but still good and the gameplay is amazing.I’ve been sceptical of Halo games since 343 took over.

    Gameplay and weapon/vehicle sandbox are amazing. The music puts the original trilogy music to shame, it's that good l. Story wise is way better that expected it really ties every thing together while maintaining mystery and wonder, also does a great job with deep lore references. Really looking forward to where they go from here from here.

    En esta ocasión lograron traer un halo perfecto, con lo mejor de dos mundos, lo mejor de Bungie y lo mejor de 343, una fusión más que genial. Hay traído una entrega que se siente tan satisfactoria tanto en gunplay como en historia, que se siente como los halo clásico pero que además añade cosas que lo hacen más ágil dependiendo la habilidad del jugador.

    While it's not perfect it does retain the same feel as other Halo Campaigns have had even though it is a open world game. Can't wait for co-op to see what kind of shenanigans me and my family/friends can get into.

    I've been neck deep in the multiplayer for about a month and it's incredibly fun. Back to the fun of the 360 generation, when games just felt different. The story is compelling so far, and the characters are among the best the series has had. The campaign feels like a natural extension of the classic titles, and not forced into a trendy open-world gametype that could easily be mismatched.I've been neck deep in the multiplayer for about a month and it's incredibly fun.

Don't believe the Sony fanboy narratives. It has some small details that look a little funky, but the overall image and characters all look great. Problems: •The progression in it's current state is marginally better than when it started. But it is actively being worked on and will eventually be satisfactory. •Playlists are currently a little lack-luster, but this will also be remedied in time.
    •Co-op will be missing for a few months. This will be sorely missed until it's available. •Forge is not here yet. Some communities exist off this so it's no small thing. Overall with lacking content I'd give this a 8-9, but long-term this is a 10. There's no way I'm coming back to update this review, so I'm leaving it at the long-term score.    … Expand

    Let's make a few things clear. My name is exactly what kind of "Halo fan" I am. I like Halo CE and Halo 2. Wasn't big on Halo 3, honestly only cared for Halo Reach's mediocre story, hated Halo 4's story, especially hated the multiplayer. Hated Halo 5's story, if the multiplayer wasn't named Halo, it would have actually been 'good'.
    But that's where Halo Infinite stands.
    Halo Infinite    Let's make a few things clear. My name is exactly what kind of "Halo fan" I am. I like Halo CE and Halo 2. Wasn't big on Halo 3, honestly only cared for Halo Reach's mediocre story, hated Halo 4's story, especially hated the multiplayer. Hated Halo 5's story, if the multiplayer wasn't named Halo, it would have actually been 'good'.
    But that's where Halo Infinite stands.

    Halo Infinite is a return to Halo CE and Halo 2, with ideas from Halo 3, Reach, 4 and 5 all mixed in.
    Before reviewing Halo Infinite, let's take a look at what exactly I disliked about Halo 3:
    Halo 3 had floaty, slower and boated movement, making strafing less viable and making every weapon feel like it was worthless. It's sandbox revolved around weakening every weapon so that the primary weapon (the Battle Rifle) would shine, but in doing so, also made the Battle Rifle far less accurate since it included RNG per each of the 3 bullets. MLG compensated by increasing to 110% damage, but I'll promptly state that this damage had been done. By 2009, Halo 3 was dead. "Casual" Halo was all what was alive...and Halo isn't a "casual" game....no Competitive FPS game really is.

    Halo Infinite, at it's core, is a return to form of CE and 2, where the focus is around balance, weapon sandbox, and the power ups, now returned into equipment items, play a far more balanced, and dare I argue, skillful role within this sandbox. Long gone are the days where you're one-shot so you drop a bubble shield, pop a hardlight shield, jetpack away or spartan-charge and-shot your enemy. Now you, the player, have to actually make a proper decision or you'll be punished if the other player is better. A "return to form" of Halo CE's unintentional Multiplayer and Halo 2's formulated multiplayer experience.

    For the campaign, this ones tricky since I haven't completed it yet. "Why are you reviewing and giving it a 10 if you haven't completed it". I've put in 18 hours of just exploration, slaying AI enemies, and random occurrence that I would have done literally within Zelda Breath of The Wild.
    Let's just think about that for a moment. A Halo game, a title which the campaign has INFAMOUSLY been a copy-paste from CE for the last 20 years, feels closer to Zelda Breath of The Wild WHILST STILL being Halo. It's not an RPG, it's an action FPS title, yet it gives me the sense of adventure, whilst having missions, goals, and you even progress through the story without even realizing there is a story element to the exploration.

    So let's just take a moment and think. Halo Infinite is a spiritual reboot, and by all means, this is taking this archaic outdated formula, and making it enjoyable to actually play for a 35 year old adult. That is why this receives a 10 out of 10. That is why everyone who gave it below a 7 isn't actually playing this game, they're simply obsessed over a cheap $500 plastic box, and are angry that their "opponents" plastic box received a video game that was good. As an adult PC Gamer who owns both a PS5 and Xbox Series S & X, this is literally why "fanboys" are idiots.

    Which leads to the second crowd 'review bombing' the negative reviews. They aren't "Bungie fanboys" doing it, they're people who pretend to be "Halo fans" who don't even like Halo, and want to see it die. Most view the only Halo game they played, Halo 3, as the 'best' Halo...because they were a toddler playing it while their parents & older siblings were playing Call of Duty. So let's just be very clear here. If you're underneath 30 and pretend you "only like Bungie Halo games", there's only one reason why you do.
    For quick context; Halo CE was vastly different than Halo 2, which was vastly different than Halo 3, which was vastly different from Halo 3 ODST, and also leagues different than Halo Reach. Each of these games are a level of variance in difference to where Halo 3 verses Halo 5 was.
    And Halo Infinite returns itself back to it's original roots, whilst adapting the best changes of each of those Halo titles, and keeping the core premise of "What is Halo".
    Which we all know is the unique, fun, and crazy physics engine, sandbox, and the unlimited ways you can approach encounters...both in campaign and multiplayer.

    And finally, this game has a low skill floor, but not absurdly low. But the ceiling in this title is high, and clearly it can be even higher, provided they introduce new weapons that are even harder to use as the game goes on.

    Halo Infinite Multiplayer is a 10/10.
    Halo Infinite Campaign is a 10/10.
    Halo Infinite was voted as the User Choice Game of The Year award for a reason. Get over it.    … Expand

    A return to form. The opening hours feels just like classic Halo, and once Zeta Halo opens up it feels just like how Halo CE felt. The music and sound are beyond fantastic, a mix between familiar tracks with new ones go great together. Hearing the Banished communicate between themselves and when in combat is hilarious.

    Halo Infinite is the most fun I've had in a FPS since Doom eternal. The combat loop is addictive and the traversal is fun and fluid. The next chapter in the story can't come soon enough. I gave it a 9 for the campaign alone. When you factor in the multi player it's probably a 10.

Xbox has finally emerged from the catacombs to provide gamers with top tier experiences. Anyone that is a true fan of good shooters should try this game. If you have game pass it’s free! Almost no reason not to try it. The free to play multiplayer is a blast. While the micro transactions suck, you don’t have to buy them to have fun stacking up multi kills.

In a sea of terrible games and the gaming industry itself crumbling Master chief stands tall again to fill the gaming community with HOPE much like John 117 in CE destroying that ring giving humanity hope once again (Halo ring being the industry as a whole). I can say with the upmost confidence I have grown up apart of halo from the first game i ever played on Christmas the year 2002 sitting in awe of the world Bungie had created, Fast forward 20 years later there i am a fully grown man with a tear in his eye sitting in awe of the world 343i has created. From the heart ache that once was halo 4/5 halo infinite feels like a true successor or even more than halo 3. This halo truly stands amongst the great halo games and i have no doubt in my mind with Joe staten at the helm this halo will be the greatest ever created. The engrossing story has you gripped from start to finish feeling like a true reclaimer once again as you fight the banished back the greatest foe master chief has ever faced and boy does it feel like utter hopelessness for the first time ever master chief feels like hes fighting an unstoppable foe that could be turned on its head at any moment. The multiplayer is a true return to form, 343i has reverted back to the golden triangle and just like halo 3 has carefully implemented equipment back onto the roster, It truly feels as if halo reach should have been the way halo infinite multiplayer is, Although the progression system has much to be desired and the store isnt as player friendly as youd expect from a halo game but the core elements of what makes a halo multiplayer fun is all there and then some, for me if its only the progression and store that needs serious work but the gameplay is as true to halo bungie as youre ever gonna get in 2021 where games are broken and the store is the only functional aspect then we're off to a game of the year contender, even if this halo was released back in the (golden age of xbox) it would still be an instant classic.

    My final thoughts: 343i has made the greatest novel expression of a halo game i have ever got the honour to play, the multiplayer is a true return to form just like the story. Although progression and store front needs to be addressed asap. Overall what makes halo great is a gripping story that has all the heart and passion you want poured into it coupled with an instant classic multiplayer just like halo 1 through 3 then you have what is called a GREAT HALO GAME and that folks is what we have. 10/10 best halo to date.    … Expand

In that time, the Halo series has become one of video games’ most iconic legacies, while Master Chief has become the symbol of Xbox — and console-based first-person shooters — as a whole. It’s a legacy that developer 343 Industries has struggled to carry since taking over from Bungie, releasing two new games that felt like something of a decline from the series’ previous brilliance. Halo Infinite is intended to be a course correction, described by 343 as a “spiritual reboot” of the franchise, that not only reexamines what makes something feel like Halo, but also finds ways to push those qualities further.


    The new direction has paid off. For the first time in years, it feels like 343 knows where Halo is going.

    Halo Infinite somehow feels entirely like Halo and entirely not, transplanting the franchise’s traditional linear narrative and mission structure into a semi-open world. It preserves the intensity of the series’ combat while also finding the magic in the act of exploration. Halo Infinite is carrying a heavy legacy on its shoulders, and it’s doing so with confidence.    … 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]
