Honestly, better than expected, but a little repetitive and not quite the level of storytelling that the other mainline Halo games have. But, characters are interesting, combat is engaging, and the world is as rich as ever.
It's wild that this is (was) a PSP exclusive. It's such a integral part of Big Boss' story and added in some SUPER fun mechanics that were perfected in MGSV.
Some might hate on the long cutscenes, but this game deserved it. It felt like a worthy end to a series hero, but the gameplay itself lacked a bit, especially compared to the other top-tier installments in the series.
This is a glorified demo for MGSV, but damn. It's still good. I don't normally replay games, but this one is short enough and fun enough that I played through it a few times as I waited for MGSV
