I really enjoyed this iteration of Halo, but I also feel like it didn't necessarily bring anything new to the table. The grappling hook is a ton of fun, but I don't see the point of any of the other power ups. The open world was a cool touch, but did Halo really need to be open world?

In a way it reminded me of what it felt like playing the OG Halos on the original Xbox for the first time back in the day as a kid, but the OG Halos don't even come close to comparing to Halo 3 ODST in my mind. For a free game through Game Pass, I can't complain too heavily though. Worth the time invested for the play-through at the very least.
