Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was caught in Halo’s glory days when I was a child. Over the years I grew to love every installment produced by Bungie. With each release having an impact in what gaming is now (Halo CE expanding the focus on story telling and Halo 2 introducing multiplayer, etc). In all aspects of its development, from the dedication of the voice actors to the dark industrialized design and angelic score that reaches out to make my soul weep. It was all a harmonious integration of the arts. It was a heavenly triumph, a remarkable run that I was proud to be part of. All until certain decisions were made. After Bungie’s unfortunate departure from the series, 343 managed to keep Halo alive with a string. Halo 4 launched embracing a new era of FPS. A harsh criticism was met from gamers around the globe. Many cited of it having an unknown echo compared to what was instilled from its original predecessors, Hope was stowed away for keepsakes but was slowly gaining avoidance. Regardless of the opinions expressed by the masses of the projects helmed by 343 industries, I do sense the shift of respect with Halo Industries. The hurdling truth to implementing a cycle imitating what was, a forbidden essence that is not meant to be recaptured, is yet a sole reminder of what could come next in a restoring graphical fashion. I highly recommend the experience for the newcomers, the game is still a classic. For the eggheads like myself, it’s a short lived revisit. If repetition is the plan, momentum is the essential kit here. Halo can start to feel like a true triple A game once again. My final take on this remake is that there will always be room for improvement, mistakes are always inevitable but I am confident in Halo Industries that the majority of them will be reduced in future innovations of the Halo Saga. 4.2/5

I really don’t get the negative reviews and I’ve been playing Halo since 2001. Yes, the game has some bugs and can be polished more but other than that, the new graphics are just a flabbergasting delight. The game runs beautifully on my PS5 Pro. I really REALLY hope they remake Halo 2 and 3.

Halo campaign evolved has to be one best halo remake games I have ever played. I get why people give negative reviews because of the bugs, no multiplayer and not getting pre orders because of other stores didn’t give to them, I get it and that is messed up! They mostly blame the stores but not the game. But I got to say this Halo remake is so awesome! The graphics are amazing and remaking story is the best, especially how they re-introduced the flood was crazy! There is 2 player online or offline co-op or 4 player multiplayer you can play the campaign together. but for 4 players requires subscription. So far no bugs yet when playing, but if there is you can report it in the game. Usually games now are 70 dollars but this one is 50 dollars so I say it’s worth it. I really hope they make Halo 2 and 3 Remake we need those remakes!

As a PlayStation player I’ve always wanted to play a Halo game. I was astonished and blown away at how they had brought the world of MasterChief to life with so many modifiers and an amazing campaign a must buy.

The remake graphics are beautiful, incluing strong lighting changes. The new bonus prequel missions are great. Being able to play on ps5 is really nice, especially for folks that don't have a gaming PC up to spec anymore or an Xbox. The lack of Multiplayer isn't a big deal for me, but I can understand other folks complaints about that. Hopefully Halo Studios continues these remakes.

The game is super fun and I really enjoyed this new version. Such a step up from 2011’s remake. Having this physically on ps5 is so cool.

Loved Replaying A Childhood Game With My Son, He Really Enjoyed It Too . Love The Couch Co-Op

Never thought that this would be on PS5 it looks very stunning on a 4k

Just the campaign... the online multiplayer was the best thing for the original!

Graphics are really good, but seems to have delayed input, like sometimes it doesnt respond to your controller inputs. Also the game is short at 10 hours long and has very little replayability. Definitely a 1 n done for me. I would recommend when its on sale.

The game is still great 25 years later, with more weapons in the sandbox, and a Legendary difficulty that feels approachable, it's still great. Those who only played on Sony consoles should definitely give this classic a try.

Game is fun to play. It hits on the nastolgic factor for people who played the original. Some nice updates as well that make the game fun and fresh. Skulls are a good addition too. However there are some nitpicks. Obvious one is that there isn't any multiplayer (besides co-op) Some levels have too much enemy density(for me at least) that it makes the pacing of the game slow down. Cutscenes are pre-rendered so any skins you have on will not be applied. And some of the lines in cutscenes are rerecorded. For the most part they are great not some are not as well delivered compared to the original. I overall like the game. I got it for the PS5. Of you have the master chief collection on xbox then maybe wait for a sale. if you are on ps5, I recommend it. But once you have done all you can do( or want to do in campaign) the replayability isnt very high. Unless you can find a friend and mess around in co-op (like the old days of the original)

Very nice visual update with the inclusion of 3 extra missions for this campaign-only remake. Couch co-op is a tricky endeavor but after a few minutes my son and I were able to play together-its funny online coop was easier to get going (he and I both have MS accounts-a requirement to play the game)

Halo is of course a legendary game, so a direct remake with modern graphics and extra content is just a win win, and looks amazing on my 77"LG C3 OLED TV. The only reason its not a full five stars is because of the absence of online multiplayer. The game is perfect otherwise.

The game is a beautiful remaster of the original, delivering high doses of nostalgia throughout every mission. 'Campaign Evolved' is fitting with all the awesome gameplay improvements — from sprinting, to cosmetics, to new weapon and enemy types. It's a perfect entry point for newcomers to the franchise, or a great nostalgia trip for those returning. I can't recommend this game enough.

As someone who followed the original’s development cycle on the Mac and its acquisition as a flagship title for Xbox, I bought this for the sheer novelty of having a physical copy (actually installed from disc, then downloaded a day one update) on the primary competing platform, PlayStation. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, it’s a significant aesthetic upgrade, but I was disappointed that multiplayer was reduced to a cumbersome kind of cross-platform/cross-account coop, not Gamertag and Gamertag(1). The onboarding process immediately had me questioning my purchase and unwrapping of the product. I felt I should have returned it to buy it a $20 on sale or $10 in a bin with other ill-conceived MS offerings. I played briefly but have yet to pick it up again. Personally, I should have waited or bought it on Steam. I’d recommend waiting on a sale, perhaps buying just before Sony stops printing physical media. I hope MS eventually adds multiplayer, but imagine they’ll add dangle that carrot with Halo 2 Remastered. I can only recommend this for people who haven’t played the original and, even then, I’d wait for a sale or buy it on Steam. Again, I bought this for its novelty on the competing platform, but could have easily waited.

Classic halo game with updated graphics pretty fun online crossplay campaign

Faithful to the OG game, with added skulls and 4 player Co-OP for replayability. The visuals and gameplay additions are great. Some minor performance issues such as frame rate drops in huge firefights but they don't damper the experience too much

Spent 30 minutes trying to set up co-op and still couldn’t get it working. Just a wonderful system freeze every time we tried to add that second player. Finally gave up and just did single player until the next day when we finally got it working. The required internet connection to play a single player campaign was a really poor decision as well. The single player is fine and once you get co-op working, it’s also just fine. With so many great games available though, it’s pretty hard to want to spend my time on something that’s only fine and then irritating as can be to get set up

Not bad just kinda meh. It’s strictly campaign and no multiplayer so that hurts the replay value tremendously. Played through once and was done with it. It’s fun but not worth $50. Wait for sale
