The verdict
Halo Infinite has excellent gunplay and free multiplayer, but it's dragged down by Xbox sign-in failures on PC, heavy monetization and abandoned support. Skip it if you want a hassle-free launch or a big campaign.
Great for
Fans who want satisfying arena gunplay, grapple hook movement and free multiplayer with friends
Main risk
Xbox/Microsoft sign-in loops may stop the game from launching at all
