In Halo Infinite youвЂ™re playing as Master Chief all the time and while youвЂ™re technically not fighting the Covenant the alien species are the same as the original games, with only one rarely seen, and not especially interesting, addition. Of course, that is largely the point maybe not in terms of the low-tech visuals but while this is not a soft reboot in terms of story it is when it comes to the back-to-basics gameplay. As such, you only get to return to the open world again after youвЂ™ve beaten the story (at which point everything has become trivially easy and youвЂ™re ticking off icons from the map in a manner that makes the worst Ubisoft games seem organic and unpredictable). What theyвЂ™re getting at is that after the two intro levels the game becomes fully open world until about the halfway point in the plot and then goes back to being just straight, linear levels right up until the very end. Although developer 343 Industries has been careful not to describe the campaign as open world, we think most people assumed that was just meant in the same manner as SonyвЂ™s insistence that God Of War wasnвЂ™t fully open world either.

Halo Infinite wonвЂ™t be winning any storytelling awards, but the strange inaccessibility of the plot is nothing compared to the peculiar structure of the campaign itself. The laconic Master Chief has always been something of a blank slate but this time round his AI companion is literally that, which means the only individual with any proper characterisation is an annoying pilot who is clearly meant to be sympathetic and, unlike the other two leads, very human, but he just comes across as an annoying whiner. Given Halo 5 was six years ago the lack of context, or even something as simple as a вЂPreviously on HaloвЂ™ summary, is absolutely bizarre. ThereвЂ™s no clue as to who or what Master Chief is, who heвЂ™s fighting and what they want, who Cortana was and what she did, what a Halo is orвЂ¦ anything really.
