There are gonna be some fans out there that are gonna be like "it's not Bungie" I totally get that, it's not. The story is gripping and going in a direction that will appease fans of the franchise. There is lots to do and it's the most open world Halo to date. Overall this is a big step in the right direction and i am happy 343 have learned from their mistakes. 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. 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. 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. This is genuinely one of the most fun halo games ever. Mainly this game is carried by it's amazing and well designed gameplay. However I really did enjoy this games campaign and it's multiplayer however both have flaws and need work. I too was disappointed with 343's two games and was admittedly both nervous but very excited for this game. Halo is probably my favourite game franchise of all time and I love all the bungie games. If you need me, I will be exploring Zeta Halo at a leisurely pace! I think a 8.7/10 is a well deserved rating. This unconventional experience has accomplished the impossible task of reinvigorating a hurting franchise by breathing new life into the gameplay. And you should be happy too if you're a fan of Halo. I am happy knowing that this is without a doubt the best Halo developed by 343 to date. I will look forward to getting some solid answers in the future if we are lucky. The game does not give solid details on the fates of some of our most beloved (and hated) characters from the halo universe. My second camplaint is that I would have loved to see more characters. I will just have to look forward to extra content to come. I understand this is a live game, and that additional content in the future is without question, however, after a 6 year wait, I wanted to milk this game for everything it was worth immediately. While I am pleased with the ending, the game still somehow felt too short. I was happy with the campaign overall, however, it is definitely not without its faults. The grappleshot adds an incredibly fun element to the gameplay that I found came in handy whenever I was in a pinch. I was worried about this game after the let down Halo 5 was, however, I think this game passes as the best Halo since Halo 3. The music, the ambience, the banter between marines, it all feels right. This campaign feels like it takes from the best components of the original trilogy. There is nothing quite like being given the freedom to explore this ring and all it's secrets. The environment is unlike any other Halo game. When you complete a boss battle, the payoff feels earned, and the story elements tied in with their demise are satisfying. Hunters actually hunt you, they are fast, and become insatiably aggressive when one of their partners dies, brutes have proper rankings in line with the difficulty that spice up the experience, elites are smart, they (and all enemies) know when to take cover, and all other enemies have earned their place as true members of the Banished. This is one of the hardest legendary experiences since Halo 2. However, in my opinion, playing on legendary should be very difficult. In fact, some boss fights are so incredibly hard, I was almost at my breaking point. On legendary, this game's bosses are no pushovers. The AI react incredibly well to your combat, especially on legendary. For once in a Halo, I was genuinely concerned with keeping as many marines alive as possible. The marines are a constant reminder of that through their in-game combat dialogue. It does an incredibly good job at making the player feel like they are humanity's last hope. The campaign hits just the right amount of emotional beats without compromising Master Chief's character. After completion of this game on legendary, my entire journey felt so nostalgic, yet it remained so incredibly new that I'm almost at a loss for words.
