Twenty years since Halo: Combat Evolved<\/a>, Master Chief is still \u201cfinishing the fight\u201d. Made infamous by Halo 2\u2019s premature cliffhanger ending, the line is uttered with zero irony at Halo Infinite\u2019s conclusion: it\u2019s become the catchphrase for a series that is travelling in circles, always defaulting to something like the original fable of a craggy supersoldier fighting alien zealots for control of universe-ending Forerunner relics.<\/p>\n

Infinite takes place on yet another gorgeous ringworld, where Master Chief teams up with a nervy pilot and a chirpy new AI buddy to battle a renegade group called the Banished.

The extra space amplifies Halo\u2019s existing brilliance as a martial playground, defined less by reflexes and accuracy than giddy improvisation, but it\u2019s not quite enough to make this backward-glancing game unmissable.<\/p>\n
