Oh, yeah. Reach is worth finishing.
There’s some great stuff.
Spoilers for Reach
+ I personally found it very satisfying that the mission leading up to a space battle actually then includes participating in the space battle, and it’s fun. Most games would cutscene past what the game engine couldn’t handle, or would include a barely playable space battle. The one in Reach was a nice surprise. + The cutscene after taking down the space station is easily among the top 10 video game cutscenes, for me. It may be the most Spartan thing ever Spartan-ed. + The end fight is pretty unique. I replayed it recently with my kid, and I was amused by the respect it earned with him. I can’t even put it in a spoiler tag, though.

i’ve heard good things about the ending fight. I’m really excited to get too it. I wish i hadn’t spoiled it for myself years ago though

For what it’s worth, I read the book the game was based on, before playing the game, so I knew ::: spoiler (vague nature of a Reach spoiler) how the ending would go ::: in advance, but it still works great, even when spoiled.
But that’s why I still can’t even include it inside a spoiler tag. Feels best to let folks find it themselves, who don’t already know.
