There will likely never be a Halo game that knock’s Bungie’s original trilogy out of the top 3, but Halo Infinite comes damn close.

It’s a mechanically rich adventure, with the grappling hook adding a level of movement that the series has never seen before.īut unlike other 343 games, Infinite still feels aggressively Halo - in spite of its massive changes.
