Anyone expecting a self-contained adventure won't be entirely satisfied. The plot that follows isn't as thick 'n' fast as previous games, but it still doesn't spare the backstory, with many flashbacks and throwbacks from previous Halos. They land on the ringworld and get to scrappin'. A pilot who has spent the last six months alone, and an AI who is basically Cortana formatted to factory settings. He wakes up above a new Halo ring with two new friends. Master Chief's ship is attacked by a faction of alien misfits called the Banished, and he is promptly thrown into space. If your previous Halo visits are patchy, you may have a hard time understanding what's going on. Aside from a few gripes, it has worked splendidly. The developers have taken the eponymous second level of the first Halo, in which the big tin fella had to drive about helping his marooned space crew, and they've used it as a mood board for an entire game. Sweet moments where it's just you, an open country of undulating hillsides, and a truck full of trigger-happy marines. This is the prime indulgence of Halo Infinite, the latest of the venerable sci-fi shootybangs. But the shiny soldier boy of the Halo games has never cared less.
