Of opening the map screen and seeing the image before them drowned in countless icons designating activities the player can participate in. One of the biggest complaints I hear many people voice about open-world games is the feeling of being overwhelmed by side content. And while there is plenty to see and do on the surface of the ring, 343 Studios has wisely decided not to go overboard when it comes to side content here. It opens up into a sweeping open-world as Master Chief returns to the surface of the nearby Halo. So, let’s talk about what this entry adds to the storied franchise.Īfter an initial introduction that features Master Chief battling his way through interior areas filled with long corridors that periodically expand into larger battle arenas, Halo: Infinite delivers its single biggest change to the franchise. But, despite this partial abandonment of the previous storyline, Halo still matters. Seeing Chief have to lead humanity against his closest friend promised an emotional battle that I was looking forward to. While some questions concerning Cortana and her war against humanity are addressed here, the disassociation between the two stories is easily my biggest complaint about Halo‘s campaign. Due to the less than stellar reception that the previous two games received, the developers decided to put a bit of distance between this game and those that came before it. You didn’t forget the last act of the previous entry, nor did you miss a side entry in the series that bridges the gap between the previous game and this one. If you played Halo 5 and the above setup for Halo: Infinite leaves you a bit confused, it’s ok. Instead, he soon finds himself being dragged back to the nearby Halo ring as Master Chief insists they return to finish their fight with The Banished. When a lone pelican spacecraft running low on power and time discovers Spartan -117, The Master Chief, floating in a field of space debris, the lone surviving pilot believes he may have found the one man who can get him out of the dangerous star system he is trapped in. Halo: Infinite is an open-world, first-person shooter(FPS)/action game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios.
