Halo: Campaign Evolved Lands at 81% as Truxton Extreme Arrives 38 Years Later

3 articles · Updated · Games Asylum · Jul 27

Summary

  • Halo: Campaign Evolved opened the week with an 81% Metacritic, but early reviews said the remake loses a key part of the original by shipping without multiplayer.
  • Critics also pointed to technical issues and said its three new missions fall short of the 2001 game's standard, even as they praised the UE5 visuals.
  • Mistfall Hunter joins the slate as an online extraction ARPG with solo or four-player co-op, six characters and no pay-to-win elements.
  • Truxton Extreme also stands out as a sequel arriving 38 years after the original, adding overcharge weapons, multiple modes and a three-arc comic-book story.
  • The broader release lineup spans fantasy RPGs, survival shooters and smaller indies, including Voidtrain on PS5, Forever Skies on Xbox and Dispatch on Xbox Series.
