Halo Infinite Single-Player Campaign Review

Halo Infinite Single-Player Campaign reviewed by Ryan McCaffrey on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One and PC.

Halo has meant a lot to me over the past 20 years. From first landing on the ring in Halo 1 to the surprise Arbiter arc in Halo 2 to being heartbroken by Halo 5’s abysmal storytelling, it’s one of the few series in gaming where every new mainline entry really matters to me. After six years, it was fair to wonder: did Halo still belong in the “Best Shooter” conversation? And would I still care about it? I am both relieved and delighted that Halo Infinite emphatically answers both questions with a resounding yes. Turning us loose to explore a massive open ring with almost complete freedom to approach combat with a wide range of iconic guns, vehicles, and toys has absolutely brought Halo’s single-player campaign back into contention as one of the finest out there (to say nothing of the amazing multiplayer suite), and even though it drops the ball a bit with the story and lack of environmental variety, Infinite picks it back up again with style.

343: the game isn’t ready, we’re going to take another year and work close with the community.

DICE: “we’re ahead of schedule”

[kwright]

Almost everyone was against this game last year, happy to see this game turned out so well

Finished the campaign, and as a long time fan who grew up with the series… it pulled at the heart strings. I’m already replaying it as we speak

[Notaracistunless..]

One of the coolest parts of the campaign, is how as you start capturing more fobs around the map and gaining valor, more of your marines show up to each fob, eventually there is more UNSC personnel than banished! It really makes you feel like your rebuilding the UNSC

Genuinely impressed with this review. It was actually filled with meaningful information that helps me understand the game better.

[TechOrigami]

This time around, the shooting mechanics are solid. The story is the cherry on top. Been having so much fun with the Multiplayer!

[jacktheripper]

funniest thing this year, a game we all thought would fail actually surpassed the ones we thought would win

[anthonymckenna]

It’s honestly exciting seeing how positive the reviews are for this, has me feeling really optimistic and can’t wait to get hands on.

[tk]

Wow, IGN. Having a long-time fan review the newest game in the series leads to an actual well-put concise review. Imagine that!

[isaacnewton]

Can’t wait to get outta sweaty multiplayer and just chill in campaign

“There won’t be a singly player campaign if we don’t stop the banished!”

Jen Taylor was amazing. Voicing three characters but the acting for the Weapon was exceptional

[kyleb]

Not too disappointed about the variety of environments. Important thing is it looks as though the game has a solid foundation for future content, so releasing dlc/expansions in the future that include different environments should be easily doable. Bring on Wednesday!!!!

[emmettmulhern]

The fact that they made the multiplayer free and relied purely on the campaign to make this games sales proves how confident they were in the single player. A definite must buy.

[piercepayumo]

"For too many years, Humanity was on the backfoot. Reacting the threats rather than preventing them. Rest of the galaxy was bigger than us, stronger than us. We were mice hiding in the shadows, hoping the giants would not see us. No more. Humanity is no longer on the defense. We are the giants now."

"Unfortunately, Humanity is once again pushed back and is now on the brink. This time, not by but by Titans."

[michaelovalle]

I'm so hyped to play this! Glad Halo Infinite got delayed.

[LonghornsLegend]

I'm a campaign guy and this looks absolutely incredible

[setsunaes]

Awesome, it's incredible what this game became after the reveal and the delay.
