Critic Reviews for Halo: Campaign Evolved
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a novel trip around a familiar ring, but its biggest changes point to an unremarkable future for Halo.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is more successful at being a reinvention of an FPS classic than it is a reproduction - and that needn't be a bad thing.
Halo: Campaign Evolved speaks to the series' timelessness and adds a decent set of new missions, but it's a mostly a lean retread that's more of a test run for its future with Unreal Engine.
While there’s a handful of shortcomings, Master Chief's opening chapter has never looked or felt this good, and with any luck, marks the beginning of a new journey where ambitious narratives and evolutionary gameplay mechanics won't be left behind.
These issues aside, however, Halo: Campaign Evolved is awesome. And that’s not surprising, simply because Halo: Combat Evolved is a fantastic game.
Campaign Evolved feels like a half-step, but one in the right direction. The number of quality-of-life improvements can’t be understated as most of them only help elevate the experience.
Halo: Campaign Evolved brings back one of the coolest FPS experiences of all time, and it looks better than ever. Unfortunately, some PS5-specific headaches and bad performance issues are currently holding it back in major ways.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is surface-level impressive. The visuals are gorgeous, even if they muddy readability and necessitate a cluttered HUD, and the mission changes are actually interesting. Halo Studios has made bold moves here, some of them pay off, others don’t.
