Reviews for Halo Infinite are largely divided. While gameplay mechanics, such as the grappling hook, and free-to-play multiplayer are praised, technical issues, monetization practices, and a repetitive open-world design in the campaign have drawn criticism. Long-time fans note a departure from what made Halo's older games special, though some find value in user-generated content via Forge.
