    Easily the best Halo game ever made, from a mechanics point of view. That's true even if you choose to avoid the open world elements completely. Using the grappleshot to grab onto and hijack an enemy vehicle feels absolutely great, as does grabbing an explosve cannister and throwing it into a group of enemies. Every single gun feels great as well, even if some are inevitably more usefulEasily the best Halo game ever made, from a mechanics point of view.

Every single gun feels great as well, even if some are inevitably more useful than others. The movement is great too, everything about playing this game just feels excellent. I personally enjoy all the outposts and bases, the combat is so much fun that the encounters never seem boring. The campaign missions themselves are as fun and epic as ever, and I think that the boss encounters are an excellent addition. If you've ever enjoyed a Halo game before at all, you owe it to yourself to play this one.… Expand

    It's a very good game, I don't consider this as a short game, you could pass a lot of time with the several objectives across the huge map.

    This is the sequel to Halo 3 we've been waiting for. Soundtrack, art direction and gameplay are ABSOLUTELY stellar, best in class. This is probably the best gameplay ever for a FPS alongside DOOM Eternal. 343 Industries did it. Against all odds. GOTY 2021.

    After the lackluster Halo 4 and the travesty that was Halo 5 this game returns to it's roots of Halo 3 greatness as it plays phenomenal and pushes the current gen hardware to put out incredible visuals as well. The MP is fun even with what it lacks.

    Campaign is amazing.

    Best Gameplay in the series, the semi-open world is a lot of fun. Rescuing marines and fighting back the banish while upgrading the Master Chiefs armor abilities is really enjoyable. It’s the best Master Chief has ever felt to play with, actually feel like a very powerful super soldier. The bosses are really cool, some are very very hard. The entire plot and story    Campaign is amazing.

The entire plot and story fits well with the gameplay and the things you are doing. The setting is beautiful, day/night cycle is really cool. The actual linear missions are breathtaking with really cool designs and mystery to them. Any Halo fan will really enjoy what they are seeing and exploring. The story can be divisive but I like it a lot, wraps up Cortana and Halo 5 while setting up a new story arc and future for Master Chief. Excited for the future Campaigns that will be coming. Multiplayer is best the series has ever had. 10/10 gameplay wise. Needs better customization and progression though. But as Free to Play game it’s understandable why they are doing it like this but I hope the backlash is heard and changes are made

    Overall A 9.5/10 belongs right there with the original Halos. Campaign though is my new favorite tied with Halo 2 but with future Campaigns coming I would say it could be my favorite game ever to play through. I enjoyed it that much.    … Expand

    Storywise it's all over the place, a lot of veterans will notice slight retcons with some of the dialogue or things that don't make since. I think Halsey at one point talks about John being ready for something greater (except the spartans were made to kill rebel humans; the covenant, halos etc werent known at this point). It just feels forced. I can nuance the terrible plot lines better, iStorywise it's all over the place, a lot of veterans will notice slight retcons with some of the dialogue or things that don't make since. I think Halsey at one point talks about John being ready for something greater (except the spartans were made to kill rebel humans; the covenant, halos etc werent known at this point). It just feels forced. I can nuance the terrible plot lines better, i mean for scavengers the banished managed to build a laser that could break through unbreakable forerunner installations. See what i mean? or chief wakes up in space and the banished have won, but there's a signal close by which for some reason the banished have ignored until the chief makes his way there. It's just cringeworthy rubbish, bungie were never Shakespeare but at least they could write something coherent. 343 have yet to do that with any of their games.

    Open world is a nice change though, except it's small (compared to a 10 year old game Skyrim or 4 year old breath of the wild). and pretty empty. Sure there's things to do like destroy propaganda towers (no not like farcry) which are small and take a few hits. I mean you can save marines, who can send out a distress signal but otherwise have no radio communication until chief is right next to them. (it's a shambles of a barely coherent storyline).

    As for the indoor areas, they've kept with the repeating corridors and the same installation look as the original halo. I can't fathom why they would do this, as each installation (halo) weren't supposed to be identical but their creative ingenuity hasn't moved very far since they took the reigns from Bungie. Better the devil you know i guess.

    We have destiny style bullet sponge bosses, which we all asked for... in the open world and campaign too. Yay. Don't expect like the first halo with intense beautifully written battle sequences with wraiths and grunts which feel like a real battleground. This is a hotchpotch mess which is supposed to feel organic but comes across as flat.

    Graphics are nice, not remarkable but nice. A small increase from the previous halo game and the grapple hook makes fast travel and vehicles next to useless unless for a specific purpose or area. (you can reach the tallest mountain [there's an achievement] within less than 20 seconds grappling up).

    There are lore things scattered around both covenant (sorry "banished") and human to pick up which are interesting but like fallout 76 it's a cheap way to avoid more story telling and cutscenes. The open world just feels like content without content. It's like a cheat. Gone are the linear giant levels which involve warthogs, scorpion tanks and intense battles through a 40 minute slog fest of wonder. Replaced by something, which again, feels off. It's fun, but lacks the intensity that the first few halos filled us with.

    Nothing really new with gameplay, sure chief now has magical upgradable spartan armour and upgrades but bar the grappling hook nothing stands out. There are side missions where you destroy fuel dumps, or repair bays but offer no real incentive to complete. It's not cyberpunk 2077.

    There are now more weapons than you can shake a stick at, and the covenant (sorry banished) now carry and use these weapons as well. Again, the tag line is scavengers except when the plot makes them out to be something more.

    The action and nostalgia factor of playing as the chief (who seems to hold more secrets this time around [like magic]) is the only reason it still gets a 7. It's a welcome return, but certainly not the second coming.

    Also someone has to talk about Health and Safety with the banished. Scavengers or not. There are more explosive crates than life forms in this game.    … Expand

    Was expecting more than a go wide and enter an blue (or gray), copy paste installation game, the physics is more downgraded as halo 5, no different scenarios like halo 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (winter, desert, stormy), bad use of ray-tracing, this game won't push a next-gen basis, and optimizations? The need of dx12 features cause its 30fs locked on one s, just hype

    If you're expecting familiar characters, you're out of luck. Chief is the ONLY returning character, except for very brief flashbacks of cortana, and one flashback that contained Halsey. Some parts of the game look nice. The environment is visually unimpressive and monotonous. The open world content is all bland and uninteresting. The campaign plot is.... weak at best.

Who has never heard of this cult series whose first opus was released on November 15, 2001 on the first Xbox of Microsoft? Its hero, the Spartan John-117 is actually cited among the greatest video game characters aka Master Chief. So when Halo Infinite was announced at the E3 2018, it's fair to say that the fans couldn't stand still! After a first failed gameplay presentation on July 23, 2020 at the Xbox Games Showcase (mostly because of the quality of graphics) 343 Industries announced the postponement of the game for 2021. Since then, the studio has been joined by others such as the Canadians from SkyBox Labs, the Californians from Sperasoft, and the Texas studio Certain Affinity, which is involved in the multiplayer part of the title. But let's stop talking about it, because it's time for the verdict on Halo Infinite! One thing is certain: Halo Infinite is off to a great start! The long introduction of the game (that is to say before you find yourself on the surface of the ring) is indeed quite intense and is full of action and epic scenes. Our first steps with the Major make our mouths water and also allow us to set the story, which takes place six months after the events of Halo 5. Right from the start, Master Chief is beaten (yes, you read that right!) to a pulp by a particularly strong Brute leader aboard the UNSC Infinity. The Major is blown into space and drifts for a while, until a Pelican piloted by a lost Infinity crew member picks up his signal and saves him. With only his courage, and the help of a new AI, 117 will go to the nearby Halo Zeta to defeat the Pariahs, a rebel faction already seen in Halo Wars. A mission that seems to hide another one since Cortana (the old AI that accompanied the Major during all his past adventures) seems to speak about her in different ways and seems to hold a rather important role in the story. And then what is this new threat that seems to surpass that of the parasite? Coming closer to the first opus and to the original vision of Bungie's Halo, this new episode is thought as a "new first Halo" according to the words of creative director Joseph Staten. And the least we can say is that this is really felt in game. The impression of being faced with a revisited Halo: Combat Evolved is strong, and the fans of the first hour will undoubtedly be over the moon! However, Halo Infinite does not forget that we are in 2021, because it brings with it a fluid gameplay and a new useful equipment: the grapple launcher. If during the first presentation we had doubts about the relevance of such an object in a Halo, we must admit that these doubts are swept away. Even better, the Spartan can hang on with this grappling hook almost anywhere, giving the adventure an exhilarating and welcome feeling of freedom in the series. Enjoying a handling at the limit of perfection, the player takes very easily in hand our hero and manages to quickly chain the moments of bravery, by catapulting himself for example in height to play the sniper or by catching explosive coils that he can send on enemies. A grappling hook can also be used to grab opponents to come and put a good shot between their teeth! The artificial intelligence is also very well worked out, with clever enemies who don't hesitate to go around you or to shoot an explosive coil near you! In short, we won't beat around the bush, the gameplay of Halo Infinite is a success and largely surpasses that of all the other episodes. With its map divided into three large areas, this Halo is an open-world game. In the field, the Major will have main and secondary mission objectives. However, don't expect a wide variety of secondary objectives. As in most open-world games, they are indeed quite classic and consist in capturing bases, saving allies, destroying towers or killing priority targets. However, the studio manages to make everything more dynamic and to integrate a new system that rewards the player for completing objectives: bravery points. The more points you have, the more powerful vehicles you can use in the bases, the better equipped marines you can count on and the more powerful weapons you can use. Wait, what are you still doing here? This game is the game we've all been waiting for check it out on gamepass or buy it if you are like me and have to catch 'em all like Pokemon! The only way you're going to be disappointed with this is if you never liked halo or are trying to find a reason to not enjoy yourself. Brilliant, biggest campaign to date by far!… Expand

The multiplayer feels like the most fun I've had on a Halo multiplayer in decades. The core gameplay is absolutely fantastic. Obviously, the shop can be fixed and a few more game modes need to be added, but 343 has already stated they are working on both of these. The game is already very good, give it another month or two and this game should very well be a titan of the Halo franchise. This is exactly what Halo needed after Halo 5.

    It's a solid '9' but upping to 10, to dilute some of the silly reviews. Judging the game purely on its own merits its a lot of fun in Campaign, but the multiplayer brings back the old Skool Quake3 feel that has been so sadly lacking in the years between. If you want a fun game you'll be hard pressed to find better.

    I had a great time playing the multiplayer but needs updates the gameplay is king it has solid foundation to start from. The campaign is the best since Halo 3 I thought I was going to lose my favourite franchise after halo 5 really had no interest in 343 halo my friend talked me back into it.

    Un juego bastante bueno, puede ser algo corto si se enfoca en la campaña pero con las misiones secundarias y mundo semi abierto es 10/10

    This game is truly amazing, I’m in love with the direction 343 is taking Halo!! The score should be way higher. I’m giving it a 10 to even the odds of some of the trolls on here who can’t seem to enjoy anything good in life.

The Multiplayer was also a blast, like the campaign, gameplay is fantastic but the microtransactions and low amount of content leave a lot to be desired. Its not at it's full potential but i simply can't overlook how phenomenal the core gameplay is. 343 have made the comeback many were hoping for, it was never gonna be perfect, but yes I'm very pleased… Expand

    Honestly I don’t understand what all these negative reviews are about, other than the semi slow start, it’s a great improvement in recent halo games. The enemy combat AI is great, and the sandbox is great! For the rest of the story I guess I’ll just have to play more but so far so good!

    of the best deliveries that have given halo. the campaign mode is innovative and refreshing since it is not only kill all the enemies. Kill the head of the mission and what follows. but now you practically have to regain total control of the UNSC in the new halo alone with the marines that you rescue and with the new AI that is granted to you at the beginning of the game. The new bosses that you have to kill are even stronger (and hateful haha) than those of the other deliveries. the multiplayer mode is much more worked than other deliveries although in my taste I would have preferred that the large-scale battle mode had a cinematic similar to that of Halo 5 but currently it is very good. 10/10 and if the game had come out a month earlier I am more than sure that it would have been able to win the GOTY

    This game is a masterstroke. The open world bits remind me of BOTW, the atmosphere is thick, the world building is awesome.
    It blows anything 343 has done out of the water, and here's a hot take, it blows Halo 3 and Reach out of the water too.

    You know I am surprised that this game has been so highly rated so far. For me it just falls flat. Don't get me wrong Infinite has some great ideas such as the boss fights and the open world, but the game as a whole does not stand up to the past games. Let me explain.

Don't get me wrong Infinite has some great ideas such as the boss fights and the open world, but the game as a whole does not stand up to the past games. Let me explain. And yes there might be mild spoilers, but I will try to keep them to a minimum.

    First off the open world is very repetitive. I'm not talking about the environment or the graphics, but the missions you can complete in the open world. First of there are 3 basic missions you can do: saving squads, Boss battles, and capturing FOBs. There are about 47 of these missions give or take. I might have missed a few, but the thing is at the end of the day all these missions are the same. Kill all the enemies in the area. Well that's ok and its fun to wipe out enemies. There are a few variations in the boss battles and some have different kinds of enemies, but they really are just the same. Doing the missions over, and over, and over, and over, and over again gets boring and a little grindy. Some games try to over come the grindiness by making the boss battles harder. Which although it might be the same mission you still get satisfaction, because at least it was hard. Well in this game these missions get easier. The primary reason for this is because as you progress these side missions you get different vehicles and weapons. So you get to a point were you can spawn a tank, wasp, sniper rifle, or a rocket launcher whenever you want. As you can imagine this makes the game pretty easy.

    Secondly there are about 7-8 what I would call mid tier missions. These are missions where instead of clearing out a whole base of enemies you destroy fuel silos or ammo machines. However these too are also fairly similar to each other and none are particularly difficult, and again get easier because of the whole weapons and vehicle aspect.

    Lastly, I believe there are about 13 Main Missions. These are by far the best part of the game, or at least they are what I enjoyed the most. However, they took me the least amount of time to finish. I completed the entire game in about 24hrs of casual game play. This is for all the missions not just the main mission. I was not trying to go anywhere fast, and most of my time was spent completing all the side missions. I was kinda surprised that the game was fished so quickly, and in the end I was left wanting more, because I felt like the story was not even that developed yet. Also, without giving too much away they really rely on emotions of players who have played halo in the past. What I mean is I believe the campaign will be much less enjoyable for people who have never played Halo as they will not be as emotionally invested. I definitely expected more from the campaign of this game.

    In the end I personally believe that this is the worst Halo game of all time. The open world is nice and graphics are good, but the missions are repetitive. The whole game takes about 24hrs to complete everything if you are taking your time and enjoying the sights. For an open world Halo game it defiantly falls flat. There are many other mission possibilities, but they chose to be lazy. I hope that this is not the trend for Halo. Although I know this will fall on deaf ears, and I hope you will disagree because then at least you had fun right?    … 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]
