Halo 5: Guardians

« A masterpiece, and quite possibly the best Halo game so far. The campaign is top-notch, even as Master Chief shares the spotlight, and the multiplayer is largely a return to everything that has made the franchise so beloved to begin with. »

« It’s a well-crafted Halo experience with enough new bells and whistles to turn around even the most jaded Halo fan, and feels exactly like what you’d want a next-gen Halo game to be. There’s a hefty amount of content to explore here across the campaign and multiplayer modes, with a large map variety at launch and an enjoyable story to uncover. And it all looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous, with fantastic enemy and map designs on top of the excellent technical groundwork behind it all. »

« The entire game is plenty of fun, and despite those light storytelling flaws, this is one of the finest games of 2015. Halo 5: Guardians held the pressure of the Xbox One on its shoulders, as well as the pressure of one of gaming’s most well-known and legendary franchises...The greatest compliment to Halo 5? It handles all that pressure just fine. »

« Top echelon storytelling, new gameplay mechanics, vast and beautiful landscapes, and a superbly designed multiplayer, has soared Halo 5: Guardians to my favorite in the series. »

« A superb campaign, particularly in its level design, coupled with the all-new Warzone mode and the return of arena multiplayer makes Halo 5 the best FPS game of this generation and possibly the best Halo title ever. »

« Developers from 343 Industries have finally caught the right way and with the fifth part they fixed the mistakes which they made in the previous installment. So they provide the players with an absolutely perfect and catchy campaign. [Issue#258] »

« From the groundbreaking graphics to the adrenaline pumping campaign and the online component, this game is a must-own for any shooter fan that is looking to see what the ‘true’ next-gen gaming experience should be like. If you have an Xbox One (with Xbox Live) and love competitive shooters, Halo 5: Guardians is a must-own. »

« Halo 5 is an outstanding game and one of the finest first-person shooters ever made. Its design is versatile, and it’s the best-playing entry in the series so far. »

« After all the criticism, I was expecting a much worse campaign. Instead, I found a solid adventure with all the DNA of Halo, featuring some interesting gameplay additions, and one that, in my opinion, surpasses some of the weaker entries in the series, such as the boring Halo 3: ODST, the forgettable Halo 4, or the overrated Halo 2. My rating: **** »

« Pues me he vuelto a pasar Halo 5 y tengo sentimientos encontrados. Es un espectáculo audiovisual, pero me da la sensación de que se ha perdido cierta esencia de los Halo clásicos. ¿Y dónde están los flood? Pero muy entretenido. Un 8. »

« Deliberately underrated and review-bombed by entitled and delusional Bungie fanboys with an agenda, and a false nostalgia memory. The campaign seems a bit dull because it's the 7th Halo, but if this was the first everyone would say it was great. H5 is miles better than Bungie's H2 for one. The game looks & plays great - not sure of the story, as I never follow them. Infinite's the only clear advance in the series - albeit fairly dull too, due to the dead/barren open world. The land vehicle controls are still the worst in gaming (camera relative is just broken and lazy - hence Bethesda copied them for Starfield's lunar buggy LOL!), and Green Thumb should be default for on-foot. Didn't play much online MP, but it was said to be great, but now empty? Co-op campaign can still be fun. The story is <9hrs just to finish on Normal, which is easy, as you can run past battles, and NPC teammates can revive you (unless you rushed too far and was killed by an Elite with a sword, who'll often kill them too). I can't say I even noticed any boss battles - I think they were the Warden bullet-sponges that reoccur. As with Infinite, the Flood are sadly missing, which would have added some tactical variety. The OST's still good, but seems more incidental, possibly due to familiarity. H5 (2015) is better than most FPSs, but obviously not as good as Half-Life **** GTAV (2013), LOL! 8.8/10 (XSX) »

« Halo 5: Guardians isn't as good as the other entries in the series but it still holds up very well. The combat is fun just like every other halo game and the story is good switching between Locke and Master Chief. A must play in a series filled with amazing games. »

« Halo 5: Guardians – 8.7/10 - A mechanically excellent shooter that pushes the series forward with fast, fluid movement and refined gunplay. Abilities like thrusters and clamber add verticality and speed, making combat more dynamic. However, the campaign struggles with an unfocused story and underwhelming use of its characters. Multiplayer is a standout, offering competitive depth and variety. It’s a great-playing entry, even if its narrative falls short. »

« I like it and fun. It is to short but good. Good music......................... »

« Yeah I don't care about a new wannabe Master Chief. This campaign was flat from the very beginning and I can't say I have ever seen a chapter in Halo fall off this hard or this bad. You can't have Halo without Master Chief - period. »

« I think that the game is good and is a shooter very good realised, the graphics are very very nice, a revolution for the videogames industries, the unic think is that the game hasn't a protagonist, but in this game, halo was have a revolution, the people than don't know the games than if have a good revolution, normally are people than they are easily influenced by things that playstation says or another companys than are jealous, but this is a really good game »
