The third part of my Halo 4 story review! Years in the making, this series meticulously analyzes the Halo 4 narrative using data, comedy, and critical thinking as weapons to wage war against the most disappointing game in the Halo franchise.

You might be wondering why I am reviewing a story that is ten years old. Well, the quality of Halo games' stories range from awful to spectacular, but this game – more than any others – remains deeply controversial. Many players hate it, but many others still glorify it – and a disturbing number of people parrot the idea that Halo 4 is the apex of storytelling. This idea could hardly be further from the truth.

So, I’m reviewing Halo 4 because I want the Halo community to strengthen. I want future Halo games to be great. And in order for things to be great, you have to be willing to call them out when they’re not!
