The game feels very familiar to any fan of the original Halo Wars game. The Ultimate Edition even includes a remastered version of that game. New options like blitz mode add some variety and a new twist to the original concept. In short it seems like a game that kept true to its heritage while adding options and a few new concepts.

If you like RTS this is for you. It mixes RTS and Halo beautifully into a great campaign and intense multiplayer levels. The new Blitz game type is a great mix of card game and RTS. Blitz is exactly how it sounds, you don't get to think a long time, just go for it.
Ultimate version is worth the money and experience.

If you're looking for a good RTS game for the console, look no further. Halo Wars 2 has the storyline and the vast amount of army combinations at your disposal. The multiplayer is good but if you're not into competing against others from around the world, you could compete against the A.I. and play at your own pace.

Really enjoy the Halo Franchise, and this game is a cool side story in the Halo universe. Really simple to learn hard to master gameplay. Easy to pick up and play and get into. Challenging to master, but feels rewarding when you try a new army strategy or go out of your comfort zone and win.

I had never played the original game in the series, but since I also have an Xbox One this go around this game is a GREAT value for me. The remaster of the original is extremely high quality and makes me look forward to getting into the second game once I beat the original.

Finally, an RTS for your console. The controls can be a bit to learn, but work well enough. Game has been really fun for the 4 or 5 hrs I've put in so far. It's a good change of pace from the other games on the market at the moment. I highly recommend to any fan of the RTS genre.

This game drew me in, I played it through in a couple of days. The campaign was engaging, but I wish it had been longer--it left me wanting more .The new card based game system keeps the action going with a new twist on RTS games. Just felt like it needed more content.

Halo Wars 2 took much longer than expected to be release but definitely was worth the wait. It's a great addition to the Halo Universe and give more in depth detail to the all around lore of this underlying storyline.

This franchise is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth. I found that the gameplay is getting repetitive and it's only because of the great sceneries and graphics that his game is still interesting enough to keep it going.

Not a game to set a lot of new ground, but delivers well on what it is and means to be. Personally picked it up on sale, and feel it was a worthwhile purchase.
