Scratches the Halo itch, Engaging campaign missions, Interface gets creative on console, Plenty of multi-player modes
Control issues with Xbox gamepad, Doesn't feel as deep as other RTS titles, Blitz mode includes micro-transactions
If you're looking for the best real-time strategy game on the market, look elsewhere. But if you want a solid Halo game with some surprisingly complex strategy gameplay, and can look past its flaws. Halo Wars 2 may be worth your time...

Blitz mode is addictive, Comfortable console RTS play, Late missions are strong
Early campaign is plodding, Story isn't riveting, Some technical hitches
Blitz helps nudge Halo Wars 2 from being a solid continuation of the eight-year-old design to being something I can actually see myself returning to again and again.The campaign gets off to an uninspiring start that continues on for a few hours as it duti...
