SeekerHalo 5: Guardians
In its 14 years, Halo has never felt so good to play. An updated arsenal and great new mobility mechanics give both campaign and multiplayer and modern touch without sacrificing Halo’s classic feel. It fails to introduce its new Spartan characters in a meaningful way, and the story does make some odd logical leaps, but it’s still fast, beautiful, and fun – especially with four-player co-op. Guardians’ multiplayer harkens back to the Halo 2 glory days with tons of balanced maps and fun modes, and the tactical new Warzone mode absolutely steals the show.

First, the good news. Halo 5’s servers have been up and running for a week now, and there’s no sign of any of the issues that afflicted The Master Chief Collection at and for a good while after launch. Matchmaking seems smooth and we’ve rarely had to wait for more than few minutes for a game to start. Loading times aren’t horrific, and the action runs smoothly once you’re in a match. Maybe 343 Industries has had to learn the hard way, but at least it learnt. Halo 5 has launched in a solid working state.
