This is 5 times more than Halo The Master Chief Collection with hundreds of hours of playtime value & far better graphics and story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 129 sampled reviews raised it
The only moment I felt the game is getting dope was the 10-20 minutes after you've upgraded both your weapons and enemies variety gets pretty decent (And I'm not paying $18 for a quarter an hour of gameplay value for sure).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 129 sampled reviews raised it
As for gameplay I'm happy to say that it's designed minimally but in an effective way.
