8) Halo 5: Guardiansĭespite what you're about to read - 'Halo 5: Guardians' isn't actually a bad game. It also introduced the Banished, who are the main villains in Halo Infinite, so we have that to thank it for too. Like we said at the top of this article, there aren't any bad games in this franchise and this certainly isn't a bad game, it's just there are far more enjoyable Halo games out there. Splitting up parts of your army allows players to get into even more alien battles, the main story of the game is surprisingly good and some of the cinematics and cutscenes are just a joy to watch. In the game's defence, it is a real-time strategy game that is comfortable to play on a controller, and it did evolve some features (for the better) from the first game. With that in mind, 'Halo Wars 2' picks up from where the first one left off: a decent game which was fun to play for a bit and offered a different way of playing Halo games. We got a Halo real-time strategy game whether we liked it or not and it was fine, did we need a follow up? Not particularly. While these games are enjoyable for a bit, they're both fairly forgettable entries into the Halo franchise.

The story largely revolves around Covenant factions seeking an artefact and Humans trying to stop that. Halo Spartan Strike takes place firstly during the events of 'Halo 2' and then secondly after the events of Halo 4. A splinter group of the Covenant ignores the ceasefire and players play as super soldiers who repel the attacks. Halo: Spartan Assault takes place between the events of 'Halo 3' and 'Halo 4' and sees a ceasefire between human and alien Elites. Both games are enjoyable twin-stick shooters, but nothing to shout about.

The reason we've bunched them together is because they're very similar games and they had just about the same impact on the series as each other, minimal. To say any Halo game is the worst might come across a little harsh as there aren't any bad ones, but 'Halo: Spartan Assault' and 'Halo: Spartan Strike' take the last place slot in our eyes.
