♥♥♥♥ you Sony, Go sell your own personal data and leave everyone else's alone.

Hit Reg in this game is like pre pre pre alpha stage levels of crap. Definitely nowhere near what you would expect from an early access game. Even when on US servers and having like 30 ping I still have numerous shots not register or get killed so far around corners that it almost feels like i got shot through entire walls and buildings. Until the Hit Reg is fixed (as well as some of the horrid balance issues) this game definitely deserves negative reviews.

This review is purely focused on the Multiplayer side as I have not played the campaign nor intend to buy it for an absurd price of $60 when there is no co op in it. The core gameplay of Halo Infinite is incredibly fun and definitely brings back some of the older halo vibes that were missing in Halo 4 and 5. The guns are fun to use and they kept the wonky halo physics that brought a lot of entertainment in previous installments.

However, this game should have been delayed at least another 6 months to a year. This was absolutely not ready by any stretch of the imagination for a full release. Yes yes, people say its "beta" or its "early access." Well, the second a game starts selling you stuff from an in game store (that is 100 percent functional and bug free) like a $20 emblem and keychain, then it loses all right to call itself a mere beta or early access game. What was released was exactly what was intended for its full release.

The multiplayer is broken and buggy beyond belief, as well as lacking content. You can't even enter one of the core gamemodes Big Team Battle (BTB) without the servers crashing, or loading you into a game where each side has half their team missing from their own games crashing. Core mechanics of the game are also broken with no acknowledgement from 343 about those issues. For example, melee is one of the most important parts of combat in this game yet it is absurdly inconsistent and often doesn't even work. There are times where you will melee lunge the distance of a Sword dash, other times you won't evne lunge at all despite being in perfect range. Melees often don't even register, especially when you try to hit someone in the back and it does nothing to them. There are also many instances where you get meleeed from the front and yet it counts as a back melee and instant kills you even when you have full health and shields.

Another broken core mechanic of the game is the sound queues. If something isn't vieweable in your screen you literally can't hear it. There are so many times where I am fighting and then someone sprints right up behind me but i hear absolutely no sound of footsteps. Many times you are getting shot at, but the game doesn't even have any sound indicators of you getting shot at like all the other previous halos had. So you could literally not even notice you are being shot at until your shields are completely gone due to the lack of any proper sound cues.

These are just a couple of the massive issues with the multiplayer that should have never been an issue. However, 343 rushed this game out before it was ready. To add insult to injury they have an absurdly overpriced in game store that is trying to sell you old nostalgic keychains and emblems for 1/3 of a price of a full Triple A game. That is beyond stupid.

The game also seriously lacks content. There are only a few game modes. They even tried to withhold core game modes like Fiesta to make them event only modes. When they got caught trying to do that their only pathetic excuse was "ui limitations" despite people being able to launch this game in offline mode and see that all the modes were already in the game but were just being saved for future events or updates. Additionally, lack of customization for your spartan which has been a core part of halo since Halo Reach. They changed customization where there is a base frame called Armor Cores and attachments and even freaking COLOR palletes can't be used on other cores. And when 343 was asked why they came up with another lame excuse despite the community knowing crosscore customization is already possible because their in game BOTS have it.

There is so much potential for this game, but 343 are clearly squandering it and ignoring community feedback. They are incredibly out of touch and treat their community as if they are braindead and 5 years old. I would wait like 6 months or so and see if 343 pulls their heads out of their butts and actually fix this game.

Hands down one of, if not the best visual novel I have ever read. It has a well thought out story with a nice message of trying to be the best version of yourself no matter what. I was also incredibly impressed how even the side characters played such an important role in the story and were not simply phased out like most other visual novels do with their minor/side characters. A truly enjoyable experience that is worth every second.

So far from what I have played the game is pretty good.

Pros:
Pretty nice graphics

Combat is pretty engaging and fun, with a lot of options for those who play for the story over the fighting.

Voice Acting is superbly done

Music is Amazing

Characters seem quite a bit more fleshed out, especially due to the amount of one on one interactions in the skits

Performance is good even with a low tier set up

Cons:
Dodging in combat feels a bit clunky and sometimes unresponsive

Only major issue with the current graphics is how unresponsive and emotionless the faces appear

Story seems to start of a bit slow, but I expect it to pick up. Will update later the further along I get in the story.

Tries to shove its DLC content into your face. There are frequent reminders in game about DLC content and stuff. It gets really annoying at times, If I wanted the DLC I would have just seen and bought it on the steam page. There is no need to shove that ♥♥♥♥ down my throat while i am trying to enjoy the game. Also locking Artes behind DLC is pretty crappy too.

While I have only played a couple of hours, from my experience this game has so much potential and is fun. However thee is a lot of stuff that needs to be either addressed or added.

1. In game chat. I do not know why this isnt even a thing to begin with. Or at least chat among squads.
2. The balance is a bit wack as you can easily tell which characters have a huge advantage due to damage and mobility.
3. The game itself is a bit choppy and could use some optimization.
4. Maybe like a practice match with ai or something should be implimented since the tutorial really does not tell you much nor does it really let you explore and understand the map itself.
5. Some different modes. I think a TDM, 6v6, or some other types of modes would be nice to shake things up.

Overall, it has so much potential and its clear that the devs who worked on this did it with a lot of dedication. I just hope they listen to what the community wants and adds some of the sorely needed features or changes.

It used to be a good game, but now its just a pay 2 win mess. Guns and gear you can buy with real money are significantly more powerful than any of the weapons and gear you can get by grinding in game. Don't waste your time with this as you will just get decimated by someone who happened to throw in more money than you into the game.

It is a pretty short game but all things considered its a very good one. Graphics and controls are quite good. The combat is super fun and makes combos with swords and guns is very fun and quite fluid. Hopefully the one developer of this game is able to make some more of this game since he did a incredible job of it.

WTF didn't get the pet. If they can't deliver the items they promise then I ought to get a refund.

Dying game especially since the developers abandoned the game. Well to be real they never really did ♥♥♥♥ for the past two years so its not saying much. While it still has a small dedicated playerbase, it is incredibly toxic and racist. Probably that way because they know there is no report system in Dirty Bomb.
