It’s another one full of memorable set pieces even right down to a strange affection we still feel for a Flood-infested library that’s simultaneously a bit tedious and yet surprisingly tense too. Feeling as fresh as it did back then with only a few minor gripes, it’s a very close second to Halo 3. The game that started it all, Halo: Combat Evolved has aged remarkably well for a 20-year-old game. You’ll feel like a part of an over-the-top space opera even if you weren’t paying much attention to the story beforehand. Designed to ‘finish the fight’, it doesn’t, of course but there’s still that sense of victory and finality to it. Even shooting at the likes of a humble Jackal or Grunt still feels pretty good and satisfying. Everything about it is well-balanced so you get to enjoy the return of the Assault Rifle and the sense that every firefight actually feels reasonably potent and meaty.
