I’m loving this game. love the open-world and the side quests, it reminds me a lot to Zelda BOTW (and I love that game), if anything, I have only 1 minor complaint with both games, and that is lack of thematical dungeons/missions.
If I remember correctly, some of the previous games have clear themes for most of the campaign (covenant theme, forest theme, flood theme, snow theme, forerunner theme). In this game I think there’s barely 2 distinguishable themes.
Recently, I read that 2/3 of content have to be cut due to many reasons, I don’t think any Halo game has ever had a paid DLC, but I think this game has potential to keep going a long time, just put a few themes to some of that content, release it as DLC and I’ll gladly buy it!
