I adored Halo growing up. It was a great time sitting with my friend; Infinite just makes me sad. No couch-coop, campaign that ends just as it feels like it's getting some momentum, disregard for the previous entry (to the point of resolving THOSE conflicts off-screen) and, of course, it's a live service.

The microtransaction shop needs to die. The game is fun, don't get me wrong, and you can get a lot of hours of fun with the free multiplayer. But at its core, the part that I always cared about was the story and characters. This ain't it. Play for fun if you want, but don't support the shop. Watch the campaign.

I met some of my best Steam friends through this game and the forums that surrounded it.

Many years have passed since then, and a lot of them have moved on from Portal, Steam, games in general, etc. But the memories are there. Portal is an excellent game with great writing and good puzzles. A bit short, but worth playing even today. Get the sequel.
