is emotionally vulnerable and existentially curious when the mask comes off — let us hope that this loss of introspection isn’t a permanent fixture.The space opera fantasy returns in ‘Halo Infinite’ with Master Chief, a grappling hook, cheesy dialogue and a gorgeous vast world that’s pulpy and timeless.
