I’ve been revisiting the @Halo Infinite campaign lately, and it’s been a beautiful reminder of why we give things a second chance. Halo has always held a massive place in my heart, it will forever be my second home. I was even fortunate enough to be invited out to E3 in L.A. by @Microsoft @XBOX and 343 Industries for the launch of Halo 4, which is a memory I'll always treasure and tell my kids, and heck - anyone who will listen all about. But when Infinite first launched, my life was in a really tough spot. I was dealing with the terrifying start of my sight loss, which has now rendered me registered blind. At the time, I actually stepped away from gaming completely, heartbroken and believing my poor vision meant I'd never be able to play my favourite games again. Because of that, I completely rushed through Infinite's story back then, just ticking a box to say I'd done it. My head and heart were somewhere else entirely. Lately, I decided it was only fair to step back onto Zeta Halo and give it another real shot. I am so incredibly grateful I did. This game isn't your traditional Halo campaign, but it has something truly special. The story is clever, beautifully paced, and it recaptures that brilliant, soaring feeling of hope and wonder that made me fall in love with this universe. With thanks to @XboxUK accessibility features, proving to myself that I can still be here, playing and enjoying the game I love, means more than words can ever say. I’m not quite at the end credits yet, but I am absorbing and absolutely loving every single minute spent with it this time around. There's nothing quite like suiting up, overcoming the odds, and remembering that I'm always a Spartan. It’s completely reignited my passion, and I am so ready and excited for the next Halo installment coming this July! 💚🎮

It was a cracking game too! 💙🏀

What a second half that was! 🫡💙🏀

On the road....
