Customer Ratings & Reviews

Game was awesome, a lot longer than I expected, and a cool new story. Loved the open world aspect of the whole game. Once I got the wasp I was flying around the whole map, just exploring.

I should preface this by saying that I am a die hard Halo fanboy and thus that may make my review slightly biased. I didn't however like H4 whatsoever and I only liked the multiplayer in H5: Guardians. This is a true diamond in the rough. The campaign is pretty wonderful and mostly a return to what Halo was like during the Bungie years, it was also highly emotional and that sometimes takes away from the feeling of the gameplay. I won't go into details of the story due to spoilers but rest assured, you are in for a wild (albeit predictable) ride. The multiplayer (which is a separate download) is probably the most fun I have had in Halo since Halo 3. It is a mix of old Halo gameplay styles and newer Halo gameplay styles that go wonderfully with each other. That said there are cons to the multiplayer as well, including microtransactions haunting everything, aimbots and cheaters galore, and the still occasionally glitchy games (though the glitches are usually fun). All in all, I would recommend picking up Infinite. It is a great title for fans new and returning.

I bought this for the campaign, and it was one of the best Halo campaigns to date. I've been playing since 2001 and I was really impressed with the breadth and depth of this one. I think anyone who likes a good story and solid gameplay will have a fantastic time with this one.

This is the best of the Halo games so far. The clarity, the weaponry, this is what we play for. The music is back! The campaign feels short, but the open world is spectacular. Come for the campaign, stay for the open world.

Great single player game and fun multiplayer on occasion. Felt, looked and sounded like a greta Halo game

Great job on this game by 343. Online multiplayer is sick. They do need to offer more maps and gametypes soon. Campaign is unlike any halo before. True single player, which means no co-op. Open world like Far Cry but it's Halo. 10/10

Good too see the old art style return to halo. The gameplay (with the new grappling hook) had me playing non stop thru the story and the open world section. Side quests which include saving marines to improve your valor, upgrade the chiefs abilities, the high value targets (bosses that will essentially unlock weapons for you whenever you want to change your load out) were refreshing new aspects to halo, yet get a little repetitive after doing so many. The graphics look like a 360 game at times but honestly with how fun this games gameplay is it’s in the back burner. The story was just okay, I wish I could’ve seen some beloved characters return in this game and make an impact, crossed fingers for future campaign dlc. Regardless I feel this a big step in the right direction for my personal favorite video game franchise!

Okay, so I just spent the weekend glued to my Xbox playing Halo Infinite, and I gotta spill the tea – Master Chief is back, and it's like the best homecoming ever! First things first, the graphics. Bro, they nailed it. The landscapes are jaw-dropping, and the weapons look so freaking real. I swear, the first time I saw Chief's armor glinting in the sunlight, I almost shed a tear – it's that beautiful. Gameplay? Halo Infinite is a blast. The classic Halo feel is there, but they added some new toys that are straight-up fire. The grappling hook is a game-changer. I zipped around like Spider-Man on Red Bull, snatching weapons, and sticking it to those Covenant punks. It's like they gave Chief an upgrade, and I'm here for it. Multiplayer? Pure chaos in the best way possible. It's like a mosh pit of energy swords, rockets, and Warthogs. The maps are sick, and the new game modes keep things spicy. They went back to their roots with that old-school Halo vibe, and it's nostalgic AF. Story-wise, it's kinda like, "What's happening?" at first. But as you dive in, it gets juicy. Cortana's ghost is still haunting us, and Chief is on a mission. The new characters add flavor, and the Banished? Let's just say they're the bullies you love to hate. One tiny hiccup – the campaign felt a bit short, like that class that ends before you finish your snacks. But hey, it's Halo – quality over quantity. Oh, and the music? Goosebumps, dude. That iconic Halo theme hits you right in the feels. I may or may not have used it as my ringtone. Don't judge. In a nutshell, Halo Infinite is a comeback for the ages. It's got the nostalgia, the upgrades, and that Master Chief magic. If you're a Halo fan, this is your golden ticket. Go grab it and relive the glory days – you won't regret it!

I found the story within the game to be much more engaging and concise than 4 or 5, without jumping around to so many different planets: it all happens one place in this game. However, key events that occurred between 5 and Infinite are never fully explained, and only revealing through audio logs, so the game starts off with a very confusing opening. The story is thus hobbled by knowledge that is only obtainable through novels and other tie-ins, and knowledge of the events of Halo 5 is critically important. I suspect the game would make much less sense to someone who has not completed Halo 5. The combat mechanics are much improved over 5, and feel more like the mechanics of 2, 3, Reach, and 4. When I aim and shoot a weapon it feels natural and none of the extra zooming-in for non-zoomable weapons like there was in Halo 5. The enemy chatter is fantastic and truly one of the best features of the game. There are both propaganda towers broadcasting enemy dialogue as well as the aliens themselves who talk amongst their group, including comments directed both at the Master Chief and at each other, with Grunts often the subject of ridicule by the other aliens. While there has been chatter in all previous games, it is much more fleshed out and responsive to what the Master Chief does in Halo Infinite. For example, if you kill a Brute with a headshot, other Brutes will comment on a brother's loss, Jackals may cry out that the enemy was too tall to avoid being shot in the head, and Grunts may simply freak out as being the next to be killed. All of the chatter adds up to being the most enjoyable experience the game offers. Graphics in first person mode are also highly detailed, even on Xbox One. On Series S/X they probably look even better. But graphics for the pause screen tac-map are blocky and rather imprecise without the ability to zoom in on any features. But the new physics engine is a joke. Sometimes you can shoot and enemy and he'll fly over 50 meters into the air for no reason. Even the Master Chief can be blown high and far from an enemy attack. The ragdoll physics ruins what is otherwise a "believable" game. The game shows other signs of very poor playtesting. Captions often to not line up with the dialogue audio. Captions are frequently a second or two out of sync but in one case I had it over two minutes out of sync. The audio message had ended well before the captions were displayed. The main menu is also problematic, as to continue the campaign you must wait for all online content to be loaded, otherwise the continue screen shows you the image of the saved location, but no continue prompt is given, requiring backing out to main screen to finish loading content. Fora game that has been out for six months before I played it, that's bad. Some of the boss fights are also terribly difficult due to the frequency of one-hit-kills they employ. The third boss in the game required about 100 attempts for me to master on Normal difficulty, and I've beaten each previous Halo game on Difficult. When the third boss (of about eight) is the hardest enemy in the entire series, constantly wiping you out in a single hit, something is wrong. I suspect damage done to the enemy scales with difficulty level, but damage they do to Master Chief appears to be pegged to Legendary. The lack of a compass on Master Chief's HUD is also a poor design choice. He had a compass in earlier games, even though it wasn't terribly needed due to the more linear approach of each level. As an open-world game for most of the first half, the lack of a compass creates disorientation, only solved by a multi-second pause to bring up the tac-map and determine your heading from the icon. Ultimately, the story is really good, the graphics are great, and the chatter is excellent, but problems in execution and playtesting sort of ruin it. I feel like there have been better Halo games than this. I get the impression that 343 Industries is still trying to find the winning formula Bungie produced. Closer than Halo 5 in many aspects (like combat) but so much further away in others (playtesting and physics) For context, I have completed all six mainline Halo games, as well as Halo: Reach. I played on Xbox One hardware. I do not find the multiplayer modes of first-person shooters very enjoyable, so I am focused almost entirely on the single-player campaign in Halo games.

Halo Infinite is a wonderful addition to the Halo franchise, with a robust cross-platform multiplayer that boasts several different gameplay modes to engage in with your friends and enemies. The armor is cute, the single-player mode is pretty great. If you like collectibles, open world games, and FPS titles you'll probably enjoy it.

The campaign is really enjoyable and challenging. I played it on heroic first, I will tackle legendary next. I started playing it in the Xbox one which was ok. After purchasing the Series X, what a freaking difference in gameplay. The graphics and FPS is so amazing and runs smooth. Great campaigns and challenging levels made this fun!!

Despite changing things up with an explorable open worl, this game still has linear campaign missions and it really feels like a return to greatness. I haven't felt such love for a halo game since Reach. It's a shame people are too obsessed with hating 343 to actually try this game, cause they nailed it for once.

I purchased the game for $16 while it was on sale so I’m probably going to be a lot more lenient in this review.. This combined with the fact that I was fiendish for more halo content left me pretty happy with the purchase. It has more than enough stuff to do in the open world campaign if you try to be a completionist. My biggest gripe I would say is the lack of variety in the environment since it’s all set on zeta halo besides the one mission on the banished ship. The story is also not the best in the series but you could already tell by looking at the developers.

So, I have not beaten the game yet, however after playing a few hours of the campaign, the fluidity of playing as Master Chief again feels very good! It reminds me of playing Halo back in the Halo 3 and the Halo One days as far as the look and feel in control of the gameplay. Obviously, the controls do feel more modern and respond better than they did from the original game, but if you have not played Halo in a while I recommend diving into this if you are interested I do not follow the lore and I'm not really paying for the storing, necessarily, so if you are looking for that type of feedback double check reviews on if the story delivers. I have dipped window into multiplayer before the current update as of writing this review and the online gameplay is good! Peace, Cam

Another excellent game in the Halo series. The campaign was very immersive and the graphics were really good. I have not played the multiplayer so I can’t speak on that, but if anything like prior games then it’s A1!

This game was fun, fast-paced and well made. There have been some quality of life updates that make this feel like the most fluid Halo game in years, while also bringing back a sense of what made the original trilogy of Halo so great. Ive played through the entire story mode three times and have put quite a few hours into online play with friends and other gamers alike. I'd highly recommend this title, especially to fans of the series who haven't felt like Halo has been the same since Halo 4.

Game of the Year 2021-2022! So much fun, reminiscent of the original Halo 1, 2 and 3. Actually a little easy to play, I started playing on Heroic difficulty (where I would normally start off on Normal), had no problem defeating enemies and made it through tough boss levels with repeated tries. Been playing for days and only 12% through the game so it seems like a massive campaign! Haven't tried multiplayer so can't review, but this is one beautiful looking and sounding game with perfect gameplay.

Its Halo! Perfect game for the whole family. Seriously though Halo has some of the most beautiful graphics and you just can't help but to smile when playing. Story line is fun an exciting. Play the game and enjoy it. Would recommend others.

Outstanding Halo game and I've played them all. Top notch visuals and shooting mechanics. My TV has HDMI 2.1 the game ran 90-120 fps and looked amazing. The main campaign was solid as well. Much better than the previous Halo game.

It's Halo, campaign only. So while it's not worth the full price, it is worth the discount. The story is compelling and after playing the multiplayer, I am already familiar with the weapons and gadgets. Master Chief is the boss and Cortana is the queen. So go blast the new faction of the enemy and save the day with a few witty sayings. The last couple of installments have went stale so this freshens things up a bit.
