    I was very skeptical to buy this game as I always tend to choose good games due to the limited time I have to do so. Anyway, I did and I have been positively surprised.

I never write reviews but I thought this game deserved a little of my time to make justice of it    … Expand

The significant change in apperance and sound of the spirit of fire crew is also noticable with characters feeling foriegn to what they were in the original and sure there are moments where it seems like there one and the same again but ultimately differences in personality make them all too different… Expand

    Its a Babys first RTS. But still super fun. Oddly the game looks and feels more like a halo game than the last two halo titles did (4 and 5). Campaign is short but with the skulls and mission objectives on higher difficulties makes it have lots of replay ability.

But the games story is better than most stories we get now adays (which is not saying much) and its overall a decent fun romp.
    Id give the game a 81/100.    … Expand

    Epic Game, juego épico tiene un gran potencial y sabe unir y cruzar la historia de Halo, Un rts maravilloso tanto en pc y consola, mecánicas refinadas y un gran control de manejo, además un sonido exquisito y una gran dirección artística..

    Прошел на одном дыхании. 1ю часть проходил еще на 360м, как я обрадовался когда запустил ее на ПК. 2я часть серии стала намного лучше. Ожидал худшего... С жанром РТС в последнее время все очень плохо, Но Halo Wars 2 мастхэв к покупке! За 2 600 получить 1ю и 2ю часть+сизн пасс и копии на хуан.

    Great game, i got mine as part of an Xbox One S 1tb bundle for a great prize. Fun to play, more options than the original, but contains less HQ cut-scenes. I wish they would have had a full 1hr cutscene story like in Halo Wars.

    Nothing revolutionary, but worthy of any strategy fan's attention, and a must for Halo devotees.

    Blitz is a fresh take on RTS but slightly challenging to the fans of the mainline Halo games. A must buy for Xbox and Pc owners.

    In typical fashion, the multiplayer in this Halo game is also very very good.

    Лучшие CGI-сюжетные ролики среди всех RTS и самая реиграбельная стратегия из жанра научная-фантастика. 9/10

    Several years in, the game is still great, but as a PC user, you have to understand that it was designed as an XBOX RTS, so don’t expect the classic UI a-la Starcraft or complicated macro a-la CoH.

    It’s simplistic, it’s true to its title and is totally worth a buy.

    Look, there is nothing wrong with Halo Wars 2... as a bonus game that comes free with Halo 6 or whatever. But as a premium, full-priced title? No. No, we deserve more than this. A franchise like Halo, with its rich fictional universe, its cool unit design, its super-clear mix of human and alien factions, deserves more than this.

    Creative Assembly did their best to make Halo Wars 2 accessible without dumbing it down too much, but as it’s a console game at heart, some simplification to the RTS formula was inevitable. Apart from that the PC version is more than decent, as it features a different UI and the game’s pace was tweaked. Besides the single player campaign (13 really good missions) it offers a multiplayer mode, which unfortunately is tainted by a pay-to-win factor. [04/2017, p.70]

    Halo Wars 2 is a decent title for newcomers to the RTS genre, who will be the ones that will mostly enjoy the game, especially in the innovative and fast-paced Blitz mode.
