4. Halo Infinite

Zack: Halo Infinite is both a return to the classic style and look of Halo, while also evolving the franchise in some really smart ways. I wish the open world was a bit more populated with missions or activities, but everything else in the campaign works. (Okay, the story gets a bit lore-heavy towards the end, but as a sicko who loves Halo lore, I’m fine with that!) And then there’s Infinite’s multiplayer, which is excellent and reminds me of the joy I felt playing Halo 3 online back in the day. Fix up the battle pass, bring back firefight, and add an Action Sack playlist and I’ll play this game until the sun burns out.
Ari: Look. I’ve already written approximately 4,000 words about why Halo Infinite rules. Short version: big playground + small, intimate story = awesome Halo. And the multiplayer is irresistible.
