That said, there are many islands which are completely off the beaten
path, containing some of the most beautiful
hidden gems of the Philippines such as Camiguin, Dinagat, Caramoan, Vigan and Batanes to name a
few.
While you are perfectly free to wander off the
path and go exploring the jungles that make up a lot of the islands land, assuming you don't get eaten by the local wildlife there's not actually that much to find
hidden amongst the trees, nor is there much reward for the
few things that you do find as the loot that Risen 2 provides is about as mundane and generic as the missions are.
The levels were as interesting as any other Halo campaign but due to the better graphics and the ability to climb up a ledge rather than having to jump above it's height it made it great to explore for skulls and collectables, within the 9 hour co-op game both myself and Russ found ourselves venturing off and climbing up different parts of the maps to see how high we could get or what was
hidden away, we came across a
few Easter eggs on the way and found some rare or «special» weapons, Halo has always been a FPS which you have to explore to find Easter eggs etc. but Halo 5 just seemed better than the rest for this, the game flowed well between each level bouncing from blue team and team Osiris following the story to show where
paths cross and what each team is doing in between, I feel like all of the trailers kind of pointed the story into a different direction to the way the campaign developed which was surprising and confusing at the same time but none the less it was a great campaign and one of the best Halo games I have played in many years, I was never a fan of Halo 4 I thought it lacked everything a Halo game should be but Halo 5 has surprised me and was well worth the wait.
While venturing off the
path does usually reward you with a
few of Darksider's loot chests, which are definitely more than worth the effort of finding, there's no a whole lot
hiding out there to discover that's not related to a side - quest or the story itself.
