Feels like it's close to being great, but all the Dark Souls trappings make it a lesser thing. Incredibly obscure side quest requirements (and potential lockouts) don't really mesh with the Castlevania style exploration when there are very few warp points and no movement abilities. Plus the last couple of bosses are a huge difficulty spike and then drop off a cliff.
But it looks, sounds and feels great!

Ach, man. What a disappointment in the end.
The combat is almost good, but every fight is the same loop and I'm either taking 0 damage or dying in one hit.
The world and all the wee side stories are so cool and the story is so interesting but just comes to a "this is it for now, buy the DLC" ending.
The game is really bloated by bad sidequests, which I recommend skipping, and a weird need to be a metroidvania... and that DREADFUL map.
I really wanted to love this.

Singleplayer:
Excellent Halo, but a really weirdly executed story.
I'm not sure if the sort-of reverse story telling really worked, since apparently a bunch of shit happened off screen before the game.
The open world stuff doesn't really work, so here's hoping they sack it off, or improve it.
Multiplayer:
Cracking Halo.
Weird battlepass, with silly challenges.
I dunno how much longevity it has, but I'm having a great time right now.

An absolutely incredible combat system that is undercut by all the story stuff at every turn.
The tone wildly veers and the jokes are often the most embarrassing shit.
Just make him an angry man who must rip & tear.
Combat:
The ballet between flamethrower, grenade, shoot, glory kill, chainsaw is just incredible and anyone who complains about the low ammo count is bad at the game.
The last boss is dreadful.
