    Haven't played a decent strategy game in a while. I enjoyed it. If you played the first game, you will like the second one.

    A great game with good gameplay. I would have rated 5 stars if they would go back to including split screen local multiplayer

    So glad most of the core mechanics from the original are still in the game. It has just enough new stuff to make it feel different. I am loving the game so far. 5 stars!!

    If you like the first one then pick this one up. It's story seems to blend very well into the Halo storyline from Halo 5.

    I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game on the Citadel. Halo Wars 2 excels on what worked with the original - think it's safe to say if you're a fan of the original you'll be right at home with 343 Industries/Creative Assembly sequel - while throwing in improvements in the control and accessibility as well as adding in a deck-building-no-base-building Blitz Mode to get anybody into the fight as well as mix things up with the rest of the game. Campaign is stellar and the developers put a lot of attention to detail. Halo fans will really enjoy this one, strategy gamers will like it as well.

    I really like SRPG and this series is a good one. Enjoyed it on the x360 and now giving it a go on the Xbox One. Looks like another solid Xbox Exclusive.
