I'm 26 and I finally played Halo for the first time.
For a game where you spend the entire time going through samey looking environments and clearing room after room of similar enemies, it's pretty fantastic.
Halo's level design is so simple but that's also what makes the gameplay shine so much. Once I'd get into a groove, clearing room after room full of enemies is thrilling. The shotgun especially feels amazing to use.
Also need to give a major shout out to the OST. Genuinely some of the best most epic stuff I've ever heard in a video game. It elevated each and every encounter. I can see why this is considered such a classic. i will say that the story didn't do much for me. I think I understood the general idea but it often felt like things were just happening and I didn't really understand why.
