Just finished Halo campaign and not shitting on it because its a good game. But seriously, the story and characters are so cringe. And when they take their storyline so seriously and scenes so drawn out.. its just urgh. I ended up zipping through the end and trying to skip the story parts and exositions because of how unnecessary it was. And then there's the weird fixation and some weird expositions about ai and Chief being corny and emotional is just, lame.
Adding to that so much recycled content and the same thing over and I can't take reviews that call it a masterpiece seriously. Rant over, had fun with it but could have been so much better. Going to just call 1-3 and Reach Cannon and forget 343i's story :P As with the Terminator series after the original 2.
The fun parts are the weapons and alien weaponry. And the grapple hook, which is kinda broken on how OP it is and especially when upgraded. I ended up meleeing most mobs lol.
BUt yeah 7 out of ten for fun gameplay. Story is straight up trash as are the bad protagonist/s. Don't recommend to buy outright and if you have GamePass its worth a play. For a Halo fan you could probably appreciate the story more.
