Halo 4

Our analysis

An emotionally ambitious, character-driven story about Chief and Cortana that reaches real depth and emotion, but radically overhauls Halo's formula in jarring ways. The campaign is hamstrung by poorly designed enemies, useless weapons with scarce ammo, linear vehicle sections and confusing, exposition-heavy plotting locked behind terminals. With only eight missions, the gameplay is the weakest link, neither fun on higher difficulties nor challenging on lower ones.
