Halo: The Master Chief Collection

It's just so awful. There are 6 different games collected in one version, but all of them are equally bland in gameplay and story. Throughout all the games you fight in similar areas against only two different enemy types. Sometimes there are cinematics, but without them you wouldn't even know if there was a story. You also have to control one of the most boring stereotypical main characters you've ever seen. On the other hand, the games do nothing to inform the player about Halo's lore, nor do they make any effort to capture their attention. Whether you play the games in order of release date or in chronological order, you have no idea what's going on. I have a hard time understanding how the Halo franchise has remained popular for so many years. These games have dated gameplay that is way behind the times, even for the year they were first released. If you are not interested in the online aspect, there is no reason to buy this version. Aside from the boring single-player gameplay, it takes up 120 GB of space on PC. Not only is it not worth buying, it's not even worth the space it takes up. The Halo series should be relegated to the dusty shelves of history like the Xbox 360, the platform on which they were developed. If you're looking for a real space themed adventure, try the Mass Effect trilogy, and if you're really curious about the Halo series, watch the TV series and animations instead of playing the games.
