Halo 5: Guardians Review

Microsoft's star franchise takes a leap to the next generation with an essential adventure for all Xbox One owners.

Absence of the traditional Big Tem Battle from the beginning is very noticeable, although at least it has been already confirmed that this mode will end up coming to the game for free later with new maps. Guess we can’t complain about it anymore.

Learn to hit with plummeting multiplayer is something that will take us time, but when mastered will discover how useful and satisfying than it is action.

The new generation of Halo

Halo 5: Guardians is one of those games that remind us again that we are in a new generation of consoles , not only by what we say so enormous scenarios that boasts for its visually upgraded models of the characters or the number of effects and enemies that comes to put on display, but the sum of all these parts and moving up at a rate locked at 60 frames per second!

Thanks 343 Industries for taking their time to develop such a tremendous experience and a smoother gameplay , something not only affects the visual that looks so good, but its the playability and response to controls, helping to make each game faster and frantic as possible . Yet there are few texture issues but overall experience is dynamic. We have to admit if we were promised to get a locked 60 frames rate of frames for everyother game on current gen platforms, we would not hesitate a single second to sign up for that. Well we want the higher frame rate, along with a top level detail and artistic touch.

The campaign is now with such a gigantic scale that will leave us with an open mouth.

The campaign is now with such a gigantic scale that has jaw-dropping moments.

Halo has a powerful soundtrack that immerses us fully in action , combining the score with the beauthy of graphics shows the most epic and dramatic situations of the adventure. Of course, the sound effects are not far behind and are as good as the scores.

Final Thoughts

halo-5-guardians-20156211017_29Halo 5: Guardians is a must buy for all users of Xbox One While there are couple downfalls we mentioned earlier, suc as AI-controlled companions actions during campaign. The elimination of local multiplayer or the absence of classic Big Team Battle mode from the beginning( which will come as a free update later), yet these small issues not taking away from the whole experience because of the great campaign that’s full of unique moments, a good story, well implemented new mechanics which goes perfectly well with the essence of the series.  Multiplayer side of the game also serves as good as the campaign. We are proud to say; – Spartans come forward and join a new battle to fight!

Good

  • Jaw-dropping visuals and locked at 60fps
  • New mechanics and controls feel simply great!
  • Multiplayer is very smooth and the Warzone mode with a group of friends is all we can expect and more from Halo 5

Bad

  • Very minor texture issues
  • Absence of the Big Team Battle mode from the beginning (which confirmed that it will be coming for free in the future with an update)

Amazing

As far as I can remember, I've been surrounded by technology. My father bought us a Commodore 64 so I started playing games as a baby, following my passion with Amiga 500, then PC and so on. I love game related collectibles, and when I'm not collecting I review games, watch movies and TV Shows or you may catch me keeping a low profile at Game Events.
