Halo 5: Guardians Reviews
Halo 5 Guardians is a refreshing addition to the Halo game series that will remind fans of why they first fell in love with the game.
Halo 5 Guardians is a fantastic game brimming with content, though some parts feel better than others. The story fails to live up to the franchise's standards, due to an underdeveloped narrative, samey level design and an unnecessary focus on Locke.
Halo 5: Guardians erfüllt so gut wie alle Erwartungen an das Xbox One Debüt des Master Chiefs. Bis auf kleinere schwächen bei den Gegner Animationen und der Partner KI bzw. dem fehlenden Splitscreen Co-Op, gibt es eigentlich nichts am neuesten Halo Ableger zu bemängeln. Ihr bekommt eine großartige Kampagne, zusammen mit dem wohl umfangreichsten Multiplayer Aufgebot was die Halo Reihe bis jetzt erlebt hat serviert. Wenn ihr euch zusammen mit 3 Freunden durch die Kampagne ballert, steht einem perfekten Halo Erlebnis eigentlich nichts mehr im Weg.

Halo 5: Guardians isn’t without its flaws, but its still an amazing game. The faults of the campaign are made up for ten fold with the great multiplayer and new gameplay improvements.
Spartan laser to the head, the game is okay except for Warzone, which bumps the game to greater heights. If someone felt like playing Invasive HUD 5 after several years of not playing a Halo title, they would not miss much on passing this entry. The game mechanics work and are there, but unmemorable. If Halo 5 were sold in parts, Warzone would be a four-star hotel and the rest of the game would be an alarm clock that could use a smash.
Worth every single penny. A must buy.
It discards series tropes with confidence and stands tall as a testament to what can happen when a series embraces the new without detracting from the best of the old.
If you're growing tired of the franchise and were really hoping Microsoft and 343 would hold true to their promise to evolve the formula a bit, be wary that the newest stuff is where the game gets a bit shaky. However, if you've loved the Halo blueprint up to now and are looking for an updated current-gen version, there's more than enough here to offer a solid recommendation. It's not the best Halo game I've ever played, but it is good, delivering most of the Halo essentials without compromise.
343 Industries' Halo 5: Guardians has established itself not as "the next" Halo game, or "another sequel," but instead opts to redefine a new beginning for the franchise — one with more commitment to its players
The Halo series has always been one of the biggest franchises since its release and still continues to do the same with Halo 5. From its story to its multiplayer it does everything with greatness and with constant updates for multiplayer all added free of charge to its community that continues to grow everyday. With Halo Wars 2 and Halo 6 on their way, there is no stopping this series in the near future.
With a campaign that forces you in to the boots of 343I's poster boy rather than allowing you to play as the enigmatic Master Chief, it's hard to really enjoy what guardian's has to offer. With tragic AI and a very underwhelming campaign it's a hard pill to swallow for those who relish in the magnificence of the original trilogy.
Halo 5 made the multiplayer experience feel larger and more cinematic, unfortunately it just needs bringing up with it’s narrative.
Halo 5: Guardians is very beautiful. While some of the new additions to the series never grinned, 343 was the first step towards separating the series from Bungie. However, he had to give up his script and some gameplay mechanics when he wanted to turn into a new generation FPS. So what does that change? It reveals that those who love Halo will miss some things very, very much. Still, Halo 5: Guardians manages to be one of the best productions of the year and deserves to be the guest of honor to every Xbox One owner's library.

Halo 5: Guardians is a must-buy for fans, and will probably make a lot of new fans, too.
Overall, Halo 5: Guardians is a good addition to the franchise and has the best gameplay in the series, and that is a bold thing to say for a franchise that’s been running for 14 straight years. However, the technical sacrifices and image quality losses are a little too much this time around. Halo 5: Guardians is not game of the year material. However, it’s a great game on its own. The multiplayer is addicting, and the future story can go many interesting directions that will make the fate of Halo exciting.
Halo 5: Guardians tells an epic story, across a vast, epic world and across these environments, players will face epic battles. From a divulging Campaign mode, to epic Multiplayer matches across Arena and Warzone, Halo 5: Guardians is truly the Halo game we've all been waiting for. While it isn't perfect, the experience is incredible.
in Many ways Halo 5: Guardians is a Much better successor than the Previous installation of 343i in Halo Universe, unfortunately, 343i Couldn't fix its old issue that depends too much on Other Halo Universe Story which Makes the story hard to understand for newcomers or the gamers who only try the main series but Playing Halo is never been so Good and The Guardians Truly Shines in Multiplayer.

Everything looks and plays spectacularly in Halo 5: Guardians, and it was so close to having the complete package for a first-person shooter. Unfortunately, the hype oversold and underdelivered when it came to story, and the non-shooting missions should have been scrapped until the team figured out a more creative way to entice player exploration in the middle of a shooter. All that said though, Halo 5: Guardians is an absolute blast to play, which, when all is said and done, is the most important facet of any video game.
I have played a lot of Destiny with friends and with randomly assigned partners, but it's sort of like being on a car ride together. Halo 5, on the other hand, is full of tense moments of planning and frustration and awe. The same multiplayer mode played in the same environment will never feel the same twice. Which begs the question: If a Halo Moment occurs and a friend isn't there to tell about it, did it happen?
Halo 5: Guardians deserves credit for taking chances and trying some new things. It would be safest and easiest to simply modify what has worked in the past and gloss it up and send it out, but modes like Warzone in multiplayer and the shift to a party structure in the campaign are chances that mostly work out well.
