In Halo Wars 2, players command an army of UNSC or alien troopers via a bird’s-eye perspective of the battlefield and issue them orders in real time while micromanaging a base of operations to build new units, facilities, upgrades, defences and resources for further expansions. While the sequel delivers a stronger Halo storyline than the most recent mainline entry, it is a fairly simplified experience – but still an enjoyable RTS game in general. Driven by the strength of the Halo brand, the first game defied expectations in 2009 but didn’t set the world on fire, yet eight years later Microsoft has entrusted Creative Assembly ( Alien Isolation, Total War) with oversight from 343 Industries to have another crack at the RTS genre, this time on both on PC and Xbox One as a Play Anywhere flagship title (buy digitally on one platform, get it on the other).
Halo Wars 2 is the unlikely sequel to one of the first major console real-time strategy video games people never knew they wanted so bad.
