*Played as part of the Master Chief Collection

A bombastic conclusion to the original trilogy that feels truly satisfying. The story is a little worse than the second, and we lose those gorgeous pre-rendered cutscenes, but the game makes up for it with explosive aplomb and non-stop action. It's a fun ride to be on, and I'm glad I took the journey.
Now to dive into the remainder of the MCC and Infinite and see if the continuation of the franchise was really worth it after this ending.
