Don't listen to legacy Halo fans

The game is beautiful and that goes a long way. The gameplay is very satisfying and similar to Halo Infinite. It's important to keep in mind that Halo was built on it's social experiences, so if you don't have friends to play with, you might find yourself running out of fun once you've completed the game twice. Remix mode adds a healthy amount of replay ability though. There are valid criticism to be made. -the A.I. can be underwhelming at times, but is passable -it's valid to have certain gripes with the voice acting, I personally am not satisfied with Sgt. Johnsons new VA. But again it is passable. -the game obviously would benefit greatly from a PvP multi-player experience. But Halo Studios has undergone a whirlwind of changes and I'm sure we can expect PvP moving forward from here. -The prequel missions are underwhelming. They certainly are not bad, but they do feel a little filler. I'm not gonna touch on people's claims of wokeness from a particular character, I find that ridiculous and blown out of proportion. Overall if you just want to be able to play Halo again with a fresh coat of paint and updated gameplay mechanics, definitely pick it up. Halo unfortunately is plagued by a fanbase of 30 year olds who just want Bungie back and want to go back to 2007. But if you can allow yourself to just sit down and enjoy a video game, this a great Halo experience. 👍

Microsoft Slop

What could have been a really fun visual upgrade to a timeless classic turned into the same old Microsoft slop. While the game does look much better than the original, the race swapping, and adding an insufferable character in the bonus missions drags it down. Not to mention how the game literally won’t allow you to play it unless you sign into a Microsoft account. I’d understand if it was just for the online coop but if I want to play offline single player I shouldn’t need an online login. But hey Microsoft needs to data scrape lol. I hate to say it cuz Ubisoft usually puts out their own slop but black flag resynced is a lot better remake than this in terms of execution and minimizing the slop. It’s still fun to play the main campaign in this as opposed to the bonus missions, and the soundtrack still goes so hard, and I’m glad I get to play it on PlayStation after the glory days on 360, but this should be $30 not $50.

No multiplayer = no value

$50 for campaign mode is absolute absurdity. I regret not doing more research and understanding I would be massively overpaying for a game with such limited functionality, but I assumed that any video game in 2026 would have the basic decency to have an online multiplayer mode where all the fun is. Be very warned that replayability is extremely low. $10 would be the appropriate sticker price here for this quick injection of nostalgia

Shoot Alien Face

If you ever want a game to just chill with your buds after a long day, this is it. The many different modifiers make replayability a real treat, especially in co-op where everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Needless to say, this game has been some of the most fun I've had with co-op in a long time. The game is fairly short, maybe 8-10hr campaign if you take your sweet time. A few negatives I have are that there is a few frame drops and graphic hitches on areas with a lot going on, mostly big group fights during outside areas towards the back half of the game. Setting up a MIcrosoft account can be a pain if you don't already have one. If this is your first Halo game, you may not like the general feel as it still kind of plays like the classic game from the early 2000s with a modern revamp from some of the more recent Halo titles that bring it to a sort of middle ground. Overall I am enjoying my time and recommend it. If you don't want to jump in now, wait for a sale.

In memory of my brother.

I absolutely love Halo, all the games. And all versions. My brother got me hooked when we were kids. I was 6 when the original first came out. And ever since I was hooked. I love the new missions in this. I think this game is enhanced more to look more realistic than the original. My brother passed away from suicide in 2023 and I play Halo in memory of him. To keep his legacy going.

Halo: Boredom evolved

The campaign was great, truly. However, the fun part of Halo was not coop, it's was the PvP. Without that, this game was worth 20 tops. Short lived, beat 50 percent of the game with a 10 year old in 2 hours. I think they should refund everyone up to 30 dollars in purchase, or drop a PvP dlc for free. But don't buy it if you're wanting something that will last, cause this ain't it

No Online Multiplayer??

You would think an $80 premium Halo version on PS5 would come with an online multiplayer. All that hype only to be left with a 10 hour Halo campaign? WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!! For twenty bucks more I could have just bought GTA6 instead. Why even bother putting this on PS5 if you can’t even play online multiplayer. This just feels like a lazy cash grab from corporations that don’t put the players best interest in mind. Shame on Sony and Halo for this lazy overpriced release that couldn’t even include an online multiplayer. At least Gears of war reloaded included the online multiplayer for much cheaper than this piece of garbage release. DO BETTER and stop taking advantage of your consumers!!

Half baked Game.

I found while playing this game that the jump from gameplay to cut seems, and vice versa is extremely jarring. On top of that, most of the audio is either out of sync or completely missing. And the writing for the prequel missions is really bad. They make it seems like these experiments are gonna be a big bad threat, but then there never used. And instead, you get a subplot line that it introduces a character that is extremely annoying and insufferable to be around. The the animation for characters in the game are extremely lazy in their movements. This game also removes several cuts scenes from the original version of the game. Sprint completely breaks this game as the levels were not designed for a sprint. Enemy AI is pretty bland and boring. There isn't a lot of different, when it comes down to how you fight enemies, it feels like a far more watered down version of the original Halo CE combat loop. Several points as I was playing, you'll get introduced to a stronger elite. But you just take them down just as easily as they normally elite. In the prequel campaign, the brutes are just brick walls. You shoot the brutes and they just stand there taking hits. You feel like you're just shooting them constantly with out them reacting nor dying. There isn't any feedback to anyone who's being shot and taking damage by you in the first place. And the flood, these enemies are complete downgrade, compared to the original Halo CE. The best way I can sum this up is it's someone who is cosplaying as Halo CE but you can clearly tell that they're trying way too hard to be Halo CE and they're missing the mark. And and the fact that this game feels more like it was made for nostalgia, and not for actual Halo fans.
