Halo: The Master Chief Collection
I’ve played all the various Halos since ~2002, and have 3000+ hours on MCC. Despite all that, I can’t recommend it. Here’s why:
The Good
-
The ports of the games are reasonably solid. The games look great in 4k. Several longstanding H1 graphics bugs have been fixed. MCC is now the best-looking versions of any of the legacy Halos.
-
There is online co-op for all games - something that H1 & H2C historically lacked. However, H2 co-op can be very buggy. The others work well.
-
The achievements are varied, mostly fun, with some good challenging achievements also.

Worth A Buy. HOWEVER…
This is one of the best value purchases you would ever find. MCC is a steal even with no discount.
For 40$ you get 5 masterpieces… and Halo 4.
…MCC is packed with content. So if you’re wondering if it’s worth a buy, the answer is a resounding yes.
That said, as per 343i’s MO, this release has many hiccups that hold it back from being definitively great.
These issues are inconsequential to some, but I’ll list some of them and why I think they matter.
I was dreaming of the entire Halo franchise coming to PC ever since I played CE. Till finally MCC’s PC port was announced in 2019.

Wigmund. The Return of the Hidden Knights
A remarkable achievement for the RPG aficionados
“Wigmund” is an RPG that’s got me hooked and loving every second with some outstanding qualities. The gameplay is realistic, in the sense that the hero’s sword actually works as an extension of the player’s mouse. It doesn’t seem easy at first, although the learning curve is not harsh. But once you get ahead and start mastering the combat system, the reward is worth it.
In other words, in “Wigmund” you really have to learn how to fight with a sword. This original gameplay, that is specific to “Wigmund”, has several advantages. First of all, it is a unique experience in today’s gaming market. Second, it increases adrenaline and intensifies the sensation of fighting. So you feel part of those fights, it’s not just the feeling that your character does what you tell him, with one click. Third, you have the satisfaction of mastering a unique game and fighting system, not just building a character.

GERMAN for English scroll down !
Tolles Spiel, ich habe es auch mit meinen Jungs (12 und 16) gespielt … ist sehr anstrengend aber das gefällt mir. Ohne Schweiß kein Preis. Nicht wie diese HACK-AND-SLASH-SPIELE die jeder schnell kapiert und nachahmt da gehts nur um wer schneller klicken kann.
DAS hier ist was ganz anderes. Es ist Skill-Based - auf Deutsch - Fähigkeiten-basiert. Kein Schwertmeister wedelt mit seinem Schwert, um alles um sich herum platt zu machen.
PROs :
+++ die Grafik und Design ist atemberaubend, einfach fabelhaft
