The RPG Greetings, traveller, and welcome back to The Register Plays Games, our monthly gaming column.
In terms of quality at the point of release, Halo Infinite has stepped out as the clear winner.
I haven't played a Halo game with any sincerity since the third entry from 2007 so I've missed a lot.
Following Halo 3, Bungie split from Redmond to become an independent company while Microsoft retained the rights to Halo.
Since Halo 4, development has been handled by 343 Industries, a part of Xbox Game Studios formed specifically for this purpose.
Fans weren't best pleased at being ditched by Bungie and the gradual modernisation of Halo under 343, but it hasn't harmed the series' stature as a gaming powerhouse, selling 81 million copies as of early 2021 and spawning countless novels, comics, animations, short films, and feature-lengths.
