Halo Infinite (Xbox Series X via Game Pass)

So long in the making and so highly anticipated, finally we have Halo Infinite.  They released the multiplayer portion of this game early, I didn't want them to.  At the time I was knee deep into Call of Duty: Vanguard and Forza Horizon 5.  I started playing it because of the hype and have put maybe an hour or two back into Vanguard.  The gameplay feels fresh, it looks great, and has some satisfying hooks.  I have a bunch of friends playing as well and even get the kids in the mix.  It's Halo multiplayer at it's finest and hopefully some new maps keeps the game fresh in the months to come.

The campaign is really good.  I really enjoyed my time with it an wish there was more, however the lack of environments and the repetitive gameplay loop (even though I loved it) has me thinking this game could have been much more.  You're free to explore, but there's little incentive.  Given how long Breath of the Wild has been out, I find it hard to believe they didn't pick up some cues from that game and tuck a few more little secrets throughout the vast environments.  

Regardless, if you're a fan of Halo or a fan of games, this is definitely worth checking out.  Recommend.
