Genuinely really love a lot of what this game sets out to do, and makes me wish that Microsoft had given Bungie more freedom to make spinoff titles like this that explore more of the Halo universe with different characters and get more ambitious with gameplay. One of the best soundtracks in the franchise that works so wonderfully with building this quiet and tense atmosphere. The audio logs have some of the best writing I have ever seen Bungie do and frankly tell a more interesting story than the actual main plotline does, and I further appreciate it for how it re-contextualizes and even rewards the player at the end with different cutscenes and sections if you go looking for all of them. Fantastic game all around.
