Playing a new Halo on PC was great, especially with the grappling hook as a new addition. The open world was an understandable change for the franchise, but did not improve anything for me, I mostly stuck to just the main quests, and these suffered under the time spent on the open world. The quests themselves aren't bad, but they are very few and end way too early, barely getting the story going. It also continues a story started in books and the spinoff Halo Wars 2, which doesn't work for such a large entry.
