Halo Infinite

Halo is probably my favourite game franchise of all time and I love all the bungie games. I too was disappointed with 343's two games and was admittedly both nervous but very excited for this game. However I really did enjoy this games campaign and it's multiplayer however both have flaws and need work. Mainly this game is carried by it's amazing and well designed gameplay. This is genuinely one of the most fun halo games ever. The story and characters have their moments but some of the writing was a bit weird and definitely towards the end the story made a few questionable decisions. The open world aspect is fine but once you've had your fun in it for an hour you've basically done everything cause a lot of it is the same and repetitive. However like I said the game is extremely fun and the story genuinely has some great heartwarming moments, apparently there is DLC which I am now very much looking forward to. Overall this is a big step in the right direction and i am happy 343 have learned from their mistakes.

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.

Halo Infinite. Need I say more? This game is a high graphics, bulleted hell, god-tier soundtrack injected abomination that everyone, despite if you're a Halo fan or not, can easily enjoy. Xbox has certainly out-done themselves this time and Playstation can do nothing to outdo it. As much as the campaign itself is a bit lackluster when put into perspective, the soundtrack, mere existence of Chief, and graphics make up for it. HEAVILY recommend for all people who loved the previous Halo (except for 5) games.

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.

Amazing game that brings the halo experience back to life and puts Xbox back at the top just an all around fun experience with stunning visuals and great story telling this game is a must.
