My experience with Cursed Halo

Cursed Halo is very much an interactive love letter to aggressive stupidity and the concept of “no reason.” It takes small things that we take for granted in Halo, the functionality of classic vehicles, the utility and roles of weapons and their respective behaviors, the behavior of the covenant and general flow of combat.. The rules of the game.. And turns it back on the player. Let's take a look!
