What is Halo Infinite? I mean it, think about it, what is Halo Infinite? OK, fine, let's step through it together. Is it a traditional, mainline game in the Halo franchise? Sure, yes, in most of the ways you'd quantify that, the complete Halo Infinite package checks many of the boxes you'd expect to see in a Halo game. Campaign co-op, really, is the biggest outlier there, but let's not get hung up on that particular part just yet. Is it one product? Or is it two? The multiplayer is a free-to-pla

Was virtual reality waiting for Rez? Or was Rez waiting for virtual reality? Either way, getting the two together was worth the wait.

Modern Warfare makes meaningful tech upgrades to the Call of Duty franchise, making it look and sound better than ever while still maintaining its crisp, exciting gameplay.

Gears 5 plays around with the formula a bit, but it's still at its best when it's just being a solid-ass Gears of War game.

Control feels like Remedy firing on all cylinders, resulting in a smart and sensational action-adventure.

Just go play Crackdown 1 again.

Forza Horizon 4's connected world and seasonal weather help make what's otherwise a very familiar-feeling experience feel fresh one more time.

Far Cry 5's story is a real let-down, but the action still makes for a solid co-op experience.

There are some elements around the edges that haven't aged all that well, but Burnout Paradise is still a fantastic racing game.

Metal Gear Survive is both a bad survival game and a bad Metal Gear game.

This rollercoaster ride of a turn-based strategy game starts out almost impossibly strong, but by the end I mostly wished it'd been over three hours earlier.

Call of Duty's return to World War II looks great, but feels flat and uninspired from start to finish.

The long list of options available in Injustice 2 means that players of all skill levels should be able to find something exciting to do.

If you're the sort of person who just wants to mindlessly shoot through co-op games with a chatty group of friends, Wildlands is fine for that. Anyone else should probably look elsewhere.

Guerrilla's got something really special here.

This Legacy Edition package contains the most Call of Duty Activision's ever compiled, but the quality of each individual piece is so all over the map that it's still hard to recommend.

Titanfall 2 goes for feel above all else, and it feels fantastic.

Gears of War 4 is a good reminder of why Gears of War was so cool in the first place.

Adam Jensen's return is largely successful, even if the conspiracy surrounding him could've been a little more engaging.

Quantum Break is an ambitious experience, but neither the video game nor the live-action sides of this time travel story come together in a satisfactory way.
