The ‘Halo: Campaign Evolved’ Metacritic Review Score Is In
Review scores for Halo: Campaign Evolved settle at 80 on PlayStation 5 and 86 on Xbox Series X, with Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy in focus.
- Halo Studios released Halo: Campaign Evolved via early paid access, utilizing Unreal Engine to upgrade the 25-year-old original while retaining the classic gameplay feel of the 2001 title.
- The release aligns with Microsoft's broader multiplatform strategy, bringing the title to PlayStation—a move once considered unthinkable—allowing Master Chief to roam on PS5 during this transitional era.
- VGC gave the game a 10/10, stating the upgrade "elevates the original with sublime visuals, smart tweaks, and broad respect for the gameplay feel," while it holds an 86 Metacritic score on Xbox Series and 80 on PS5.
- Players unlock a Remixed mode by finding three skulls hidden in levels, though newcomers should stick to Normal difficulty since Enemies hit hard and can quickly deplete Master Chief's shields during combat.
- Microsoft has offered no official details regarding the future of the mainline Halo series, leaving the franchise in a strange era with unclear development plans for Master Chief and the broader franchise.
