This is the MOST unappreciated game this gen. From multiplayer to campaign, I stand by the claim that Halo Infinite is actually fantastic. It looks great, it runs great with a host of visual options, the campaign is vast and the multiplayer is a RIOT. Deserves more respect.

Elder Scrolls 6 is officially an Xbox exclusive. I absolutely LOVE that it’s gonna be on Game Pass and I’m saving 70 slices of cheddar. But I feel really bummed for some of PlayStation friends who won’t be able to play it. Am I the only one that feels divided internally? 😅
