Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite is the best halo we got since Halo 3 for a good amount of reasons. First is it's awesome campaign. The campaign from this game was not only a massive improvement from the last two Halo games (especially Halo 5) but it returned to what made the first 3 games so iconic, saving lives and kicking some ass. The Banished were great villains in the story and the emotional weight was high especially between Master Chief and Cortana 2.0. But not only is the campaign great but the multiplayer is also great. The mechanics & physics feel smoother and the maps are great for kicking major ass. Forge is also fun.

My review mostly centers around the campaign.

In terms of the campaign, it's a super fun, worthwhile game. It's challenging enough to where you have to be strategic. There's also lots of new abilities such as the grapple, dodge, etc. That spice it up and make it feel like a more modern game while still giving you the classic halo experience. I also very much like that at the end of each mission there is a boss fight which is challenging and very satisfying to complete.

In terms of the story, it's not very good. In this sense, it's more your classic video game story with cheesy dialogue, bad guys trash talking, etc.

Even though the story isn't very good, they got the most important thing right, which is making a fun, satisfying gaming experience. I highly recommend it.

This one fixed everything that Halo 5 did wrong...and did everything wrong that Halo 5 got right.

Halo 5 had a weak campaign but the multiplayer was nearly perfect. Infinite flips that on its head and gives us a fantastic campaign but pretty weak multiplayer with wonky aiming. Overall a great game but the multiplayer could use work for sure.

Also seriously lacking in content. They are just now beginning to drop content that should have shipped with the game (writing this a year later).

Just finished playing and what a game with such an incredible story and premise with stunning visuals on xbox with incredible graphics this game doesn't disappoint with an amazing soundtrack you really can't go wrong defintely recommend for any halo fans it's feels fresh it feels like same old halo with a new lock of paint definteky recommend even if your new to halo its great.

This is definitely vindication for 343. There is lots to do and it's the most open world Halo to date.

The story is gripping and going in a direction that will appease fans of the franchise. There are gonna be some fans out there that are gonna be like "it's not Bungie" I totally get that, it's not. This is however a shining example of how to build on a legacy of a franchise. They've taken what Bungie started all those years ago and made it their own. Kept what made it a class of its own. Let's not forget, some of those creators work for 343.

I can't say I've seen any broken mechanics and I don't feel any enemy is a bullet sponge. There is some challenge and it's not gonna be a cake walk. I think it's all for the better. I have to also applaud them for the craftiest AI in a game. One that kept me on my toes a bit and on more than one occasion flanked me, kept me busy and then descended on me with force and fury.

Give 343 a chance, give yourself a chance to enjoy it. Play it with fresh eyes like you'd never played a Halo game before. I could sit here and criticise the game but it should be applauded on its own merits. Job well done. I'm excited to see where the next story takes place.
