2012.43: HALO 4

I honestly had no idea what was going on and from what I gathered it was as simple as, bad thing want to destroy world omg you are the only hope! It really isn't gripping stuff if you are not into the universe.

The gameplay is the same old Halo. That's not bad by any means of course but it also means there isn't anything here that takes you by surprise. It was 343's first step though and maybe they'll be a bit more experimental in the next game. I did like their thank you message at the end, it's always nice to see some humility.

The only thing they did add, the new enemy types, were in all honesty just boring. Bullet sponges and after their first appearance, they are all the same. I kept expecting to see new types of those orange things and was a bit worn out after a while to see them appear battlefield after battlefield.

So it's got the solid Halo feel but I found it less enjoyable and less inspired than Reach.

7/10.
