Professional reviews from gaming critics
It looks like third time’s a charm for 343 Industries, who’s spent the past decade trying to live up to making a Halo worthy of its original creators Bungie.
343i had failed to live up to the high bar set by Bungie — until now. It was worth the wait to see Master Chief return in such an impressive manner and I am once again excited for the future of this franchise. The multiplayer and campaign combine to make a stellar experience.
With an adventurous campaign, complete with a sandbox that’ll still be there when your friends can join the fight, and a multiplayer suite that feels like a note-perfect revival of the Halo of old, Halo Infinite feels like the complete blockbuster sci-fi shooter we’ve been waiting for from 343 Industries. It hasn’t happened overnight for the team, but the mantle passed to them, at last, feels earned.
While there are some improvements that can be made, Halo: Infinite is a return to form for the storied FPS franchise.
Halo Infinite marks a clear moment in 343 Studios’ handling of the series. They finally have a grasp on what makes Master Chief tick, and they bring all of that knowledge to bear in often-spectacular fashion. While some issues nag, it’s clear that Halo Infinite is a brilliant new entry in the series, and one that makes this particular sci-fi FPS relevant once again.
“Halo Infinite isn't going to reinvent the shooter genre, but it's a fun solo and multiplayer experience that can only get better with time.”
It's hard to deny the missteps and missing launch-day features, but it's harder to deny how thoroughly engaging Halo Infinite feels.Reviewer's Note: This review accommodates the updates 343 Industries has made to the game's multiplayer since launch. It [...]
Halo Infinite is a fresh new take on the franchise, and manages to bring everything together into a game that is innovative, familiar, and a lot of fun to play.
Despite an unfulfilling progression grind and lack of regular content updates, Halo Infinite hosts a welcome assortment of fun multiplayer modes.
While fans of Halo were feeling let down by Halo 5 and the gameplay reveal of Halo Infinite being uh... underwhelming to say the least, you'd have been right to feel hesitant about the Halo franchise. What we saw back in 2020 was disappointing, to say the least. However, Microsoft…
The success of Halo Infinite was never guaranteed. Because after the extremely lukewarm reception to Halo 5: Guardians by both fans and critics alike, the Halo franchise desperately required a game that would help propel it back into the limelight as one of the greatest FPS series of all time. And for a while, it almost seemed like that might be too ambitious of a goal for the series, and that Halo might never really recapture the spark that had once come to define it.
Halo Infinite is going to mean something different to a lot of people. It’s also the first of the series to release on a subscription service, let alone having the entirety of its multiplayer available free to play. The long-awaited return of the Master Chief is also structured in an open world, giv
