The ‘Halo: Campaign Evolved’ Metacritic Review Score Is In - Forbes

What the report says

Forbes contributor Paul Tassi reported that review aggregation scores have begun appearing for Halo: Campaign Evolved, the new release revisiting the original Halo campaign. According to the article, the PlayStation 5 version had drawn the largest number of reviews at the time of publication and was listed at 80 on Metacritic. Forbes said the Xbox Series X version stood at 86, while the PC version was at 77, with the caveat that the figures could change as more reviews arrive.

The article framed the early critical response as broadly positive rather than exceptional, placing the game below the highest-rated entries in the series but near some later Halo releases. Forbes compared the new title’s range with earlier Metacritic scores for games including Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo Infinite and Halo 5.

Forbes also highlighted the significance of Halo appearing on PS5, noting that Master Chief was long associated with Xbox as a flagship character. The release was described as part of Microsoft’s broader push to bring selected games to multiple platforms, even as the company’s future approach to that strategy remains a subject of debate.

The article added that Microsoft has not given firm public details about the next mainline Halo game. Forbes cited uncertainty around the franchise’s direction and recent layoffs as part of the wider context, while noting that Campaign Evolved gives players a remade or refreshed way to return to Halo while they wait for new information.
