Overall it's good, but underwhelming compared to the first iteration.

It's exceptionally good, the most geniune fun I've had with a video game for a long time.
I normally find Asian songs weird but all the songs and levels in the game are catchy and amazing.
The DLC is rather expensive but most people claim it is worth it.

In my opinion, this is the best game in the series, and definitely one of the greatest games I've ever had the pleasure to play.
The story is just absolutely amazing, multiplayer is fun and the mechanics are good. I love everything about it. Highly recommend the game for the campaign alone, it's a must have experience.

It sucks, don't play this ****.

They will forcefully give you a badge of political scale that has burned down countless businesses and killed many innocent people.

They will listen to some random idiot on Twitter that got offended by something and immediately change it, but their game is bugged beyond hell.

Servers are absolutely horrible. EA knows everyone will keep playing so they use the bare minimum of servers for the players, where regardless of your internet connection you will experience packet loss that will send you flying back a yard.

I always knew about the Halo series but since I never had any consoles or the game during its prime I never got to play it in its days. With the collection, I'd say it's a good game.
I have fun with it, with even just one game there are a lot of hours to spend if you really want to complete them, and the multiplayer seasonal items are easy to obtain without any microtransactions so you can customize your Spartan in whatever form you want.
At the moment there aren't a large amount of players sadly, so I'm hoping this review will help bring more people in. Queue times are pretty long, so your play time will likely consist of waiting in the menu. There is no player report function at the time of writing this review, which sadly means griefers are common. You will sometimes run into people killing their teammates rather than play the game.
If multiplayer isn't your thing, campaigns are really good. I especially loved Reach and ODST. Give the series a chance if you haven't.

The fact that this is a paid DLC of something that should be in the base game, and that even though this is PAID, it's a buggy mess.
1-) If you get out of the atv at a weird angle, your vision is tilted.
2-) The vehicle itself is just atrocious. If someone even brushes against your atv, you're sent flying and you die. The vehicle literally does not behave like a vehicle. It's will shake like crazy and possibly explode if you touch it wrong.
3-) If you go into water that is just a bit too deep, it'll explode.
4-) If your atv explodes or at random times when you get out, you cannot use your weapons. They don't appear in your hands. You're forced to fast travel or restart.
I could go on and on, but these are the most prominent issues with this. Being forced to find and get out on flat ground is just ridicilous.

This being a paid DLC is very anti-consumer and predatory. This game has everything you need behind DLC paywalls. I hate myself for supporting this behavior by buying this.

Turned into a buggy, horrible mess. Devs pump out DLC yet you won't see any proper fixes.

The worst part is how horribly unoptimized it is. Every update is essentially 50 GBs. That's a AAA game worth of data and space. They quite obviously do not bother to optimize the file sizes at all. A big F bomb to everyone involved.

Mostly fun, but can get dull fast.
Matchmaking is a mess, you'll get rank 1 enemies while you/your team is 15-20, and such.
Most stuff is hidden behind DLC paywall and while most of the base characters are strong, it gets boring with such limited options.
There are also plenty of balance issues. There are plenty of meta slaves and will generally be toxic at you for not playing certain characters and/or perks. You will also just be generally screwed with the unbalanced stuff. Moral of it is, unless you're a 200 IQ player, don't play to win or get rank 1, especially if you play survivor alone.
There are also issues with the players. Random people WILL give up when they instantly get hooked when they play stupid and leave you underhanded and the killer will just 99% win. This happens rather often, I'd say about 3-4 out of 10 games playing with random survivors. These numbers also vary depending on your rank, but still.

I still recommend it though. In its core, it is genuinely good. I also personally love the design, with the game icon being crossed by the killer, very smart design.

I liked it.
Graphics and gameplay wise, it was great; very well optimized too. On a mid spec machine I was able to play with high graphics without frame issues. The planes, the sky and the clouds are beautiful, the game is almost worth solely for this part.
I didn't play any of the previous games so I doubt I can make a solid comment on the story, but it was ok.
I'd recommend buying it on sale.
