A decent soulslike that could use some improvements. Dodge roll is so slow and constantly clips into either enemies or the environment. Camera could use some work. Enemies can hit you through solid objects. The parry timing is awful, just let me parry with one button like Sekiro, not this hold and release the button mechanic. I don't like the constantly breaking shells, like weapons in Zelda, just awful. Lighting could be better, very hard to see in the Sands Between. A lot of empty space in the environment. Only having one weapon is super lame and makes me not want to explore as much. The graphics are on par with a PS2 Spongebob Squarepants game, which isn't a total negative but again, it's not super fun to explore. I would give this game a 6.5/10. Fun idea but missed the execution. Go play Elden Ring.

Absolute disrespect from the show runners and Pablo. None of whom were the actual target audience when the games released, further proving that they don't understand what makes Halo. They've turned the series into another drama of the week, but with aliens. People who have never played the game might enjoy it. Then there are the manic and desperate Halo fans who have been chasing that Halo 3 high since 2010 and lying to themselves with each new Halo branded product that comes out, saying "This is good!" But knowing deep inside 343 fumbled the franchise. It's been a slow and miserable way to watch your favorite game series be milked into infinite mediocrity.
