HALO INFINITE is not just a good HALO game, it's one of the best new shooter campaigns

The Master Chief is back in a game that feels like both a classic HALO game and a modern shooter.

December 9, 2021 6:30 AM

HALO INFINITE is a game that has had a rollercoaster ride, first anticipated, then derided then delayed and now lauded, it's one of the best HALO games ever and perhaps one of the very best first person shooter campaigns. 

With a semi open world structure, 343 Industries pulls from your memories of what HALO was like to play and reframes it in a modern context.

Guest reviewer Chris Button (Gameshub, Byteside, Mobile Arcade Club) joins Mainstream again to jump back into the shoes of the Master Chief. You can read Chris' review on Byteside in full here

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:
  • Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
  • Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
  • Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in
Cons:
  • Maybe the world actually might be too big?
  • It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
