Pre-orders for Halo: Campaign Evolved are now live at GAME, and gamers have just days left to secure the title for as little as £31.23. A stacked deal with TopCashback is running until Sunday, August 2, offering significant savings on both PS5 and Xbox versions.
The standard pre-order price for Halo: Campaign Evolved at GAME is £49.99, but the retailer has already cut it to £44.99. Shoppers can make an even bigger dent in that figure by using TopCashback, which rewards new members with a £15 sign-up bonus when they spend £15 or more. On top of that, the cashback site is offering an enhanced 10% cashback on selected orders until the deadline, meaning extra money off for anyone who stacks the two offers.
How much will you pay for Halo: Campaign Evolved?

What to expect from Halo: Campaign Evolved
Halo: Campaign Evolved is described as a 'faithful yet modernised' remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign. Players can relive the original story, rebuilt with high-definition visuals, an expanded arsenal of weapons, vehicles, enemies, and gameplay-altering Skulls. The remake also adds new missions, modes, and modern features like cross-play.
For PS5 players, the game is PS5 Pro Enhanced and uses DualSense Haptics and Adaptive Triggers, so it takes full advantage of the console's capabilities.

What the reviewers say
Mirror gaming editor Nathan Bliss reviewed Halo: Campaign Evolved last week and awarded it a perfect 5/5 rating. He said: 'Overall, then, Halo: Campaign Evolved is a superb, gorgeous remake of one of the best video games of all time. Despite its comprehensive, modern visual makeover, it's managed to retain the magical feel and formula that made the original game so iconic, while adding new missions, modes and modern features like cross-play.'
Bliss also highlighted the game's appeal to newcomers: 'If you've never played Halo before, as a PlayStation player, for example, Halo: Campaign Evolved is a superb way to experience Master Chief's iconic adventure for the first time, with the PS5 version also being PS5 Pro Enhanced, featuring DualSense Haptics and Adaptive Triggers, so you're not missing out on any PS5-specific features.'
He did voice some reservations: 'I've got my doubts about the replayability of the game over the longer term, and it's not a particularly long campaign, but if you get a fuzzy feeling whenever you hear the Halo theme music, and the string orchestra kicks in, Halo: Campaign Evolved is well worth your time. In a world full of complex, convoluted shooters, Halo: Campaign Evolved is a breath of fresh air, combining nostalgia and a pure, basic gameplay experience that's just really fun.'
