I have always been a huge Halo fan. I have every Halo game ever made including the first Halo Wars. I really like the first one and I was not disappointed by the sequel. Being able to finally play this highly anticipated game was very enjoyable for me and even better than I had hoped. It is an amazing addition to the Halo series and a nice variation when you want something other than a shooter. I would definitely recommend this game to both new and old Halo fans and especially to anyone who likes strategy games. It also came with a limited edition figure that not only looked pretty cool but was valued at almost $30 so that was just an added bonus of getting it at Best Buy. See the attached photos to view the figure.

If you love the hill to the release you will love this game

Excellent game that I own physically and now digitally thanks to a good sale best buy was having. Beautiful cutscenes, but unfortunately less of them than the first Halo Wars, there is also dlc that extends the campaign with small storylines adding new characters to the universe. Fun to play online or offline with skirmish mode

I’d been having serious RTS itches and couldn’t find anything on Xbox One to scratch that itch. Well I saw Halo Wars 2 and decided to give it a shot since the first was actually pretty decent. So far I’ve been experiencing a very interesting story in the campaign and being challenged by the difficulty settings. It’s by no means a great RTS but it’s by all means an amazing console RTS.

Halo Wars was one of my favorite Xbox 360 games and I was really excited when I saw it was getting a sequel. Halo Wars 2 does a good job of telling a somewhat unique self-contained story in the Halo universe and ultimately seemed like a better story than we got with Halo 5. The RTS controls translated well to the controller and the cutscenes look fantastic.
