Halo Infinite
Moderate overall intensityWhat's in it
Sci-fi gunfire, melee and vehicle combat against alien and human enemies, with splashes of red and coloured alien blood but no dismemberment or gore.
A war of conquest with heavy casualties, personal loss, and a survivor's trauma runs through the story, largely referenced and glimpsed rather than dwelt on.
The cosmetics store rotates its stock on a limited-time basis, and a premium battle pass is sold alongside the free track.
Real money buys cosmetic armour coatings, colours and weapon skins through an in-game store and paid battle passes.
Occasional mild profanity such as 'damn' and 'hell' in the campaign dialogue.

What it is
Halo Infinite is a science-fiction first-person shooter in which the player controls a super-soldier fighting a mercenary alien-and-human army across a damaged ringworld. Combat is the core activity: the player uses firearms, explosives, grappling gear, and vehicles against enemy troops, who bleed and fall but are not mutilated. The campaign carries war themes of loss, casualties, and one character's lingering trauma, and its dialogue includes occasional mild profanity. A separate free multiplayer mode pits teams of players against each other online with voice and text chat, a map-and-mode creation tool, and an in-game store selling cosmetic-only armor and weapon appearances through rotating bundles and battle passes.
How it's framed
The game frames its violence as heroic military struggle against an invading force, with the player cast as a defender rather than an aggressor. Its monetization is presented as optional visual customization, structured around a rotating store and timed passes that surface appearance items for purchase without affecting combat outcomes.
