Halo 5: Guardians
Arthur Gies, writing for "Polygon", wrote that 343 Industries had much to prove with "Halo 5" after "Halo 4"s online population "evaporated", "The Master Chief Collection"s woes, and Microsoft's need for a strong title to sell more Xbox Ones. "343's response to that quagmire," Gies wrote, "[is] to return to the fundamentals of what made the series great in the first place. The studio has brought "Halo"s mechanics kicking and screaming into the modern era, while providing the most bombastic, co-op-driven campaign in "Halo" history." "GameSpot"s Mike Mahardy agreed that 343 had produced some of the best iterations of the game series' facets with "Halo 5". IGN's Brian Albert opined that 343 Industries had created an even bigger game than previous entries, with "the strongest combat "Halo" has ever seen". "Destructoid"s Chris Carter felt that "Halo 5" failed to grab him in the same way as previous games had, "but those of you who are still content with Master Chief and his wacky adventures across the galaxy will likely walk away satisfied." More critically, the reviewers of "GamesTM" felt that "Halo 5" was "sheepish and safe" and represented a series low.
