| Angelus said: Halo Infinite for me. It's not a perfect game by any means. There's features missing that really should have been there at launch, obviously the f2p monetization atm is uncomfortably aggressive, and there's some areas of the game that could have used a bit more polish and refinement. Edit: Do wanna give a shout-out to some honorable mentions. Forza was obviously excellent, as it always is, and Mexico was a MUCH better setting than the UK imo. Gonna be a game I play for a long time no doubt. Pyschonauts 2, while lacking a bit in the gameplay department for me, was wonderfully written game, and the level design was so beautifully woven into said writing, that it really elevated the whole game. It Takes Two, imo, is a totally deserved GotY winner. I adore great co-op games, and It Takes Two was an absolute joy to play the whole way through, constantly surprising with new mechanics, and always making me and my friend laugh. Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge surprise. Like Pyschonauts, gameplay left a bit to be desired, but the narrative hit all the right notes, and the cast was literally perfect. It is the definitive GotG experience, better than either of the Marvel movies. |
I have that exact same feeling playing the Campaign. Something special about it. 343 have found Halos identity again. Instead of following the trends of other FPS games. Infinite goes its own way. Just like Doom 2016 going back to its roots, Halo Infinite goes back to Halo CE.
Goes to show a game doesn't need to be perfect or gain perfect scores to be incredible.
The wow factor i get when exploring the Halo ring feels similar to when i played Zelda BOTW, and that game blew me away.
