  • And remember, beyond those gameplay gripes, there's also a host of performance issues and control scheme issues, which (again) you can find in PCWorld's Halo Wars 2 review-in-progress from last week. Suffice it to say: The game doesn't quite nail ever...

  • 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...

  • For the first few minutes of Halo Wars 2, I felt uncomfortably overwhelmed - even as a veteran of the original game. After the first hour, however, I was hooked. 24 hours later, I find myself facing withdrawal symptoms, desperate to pick up the controller...

  • Abstract:  I don't know if I'd be so interested in Halo Wars 2 if I didn't care about the lore. Would I still care if they retained the same design but changed all the graphics to something else entirely? From a war room perspective, making a real-time strategy (RTS...

  • Halo Wars 2 is a ballroom blitz with dangerously addictive levels of fun. It may be lacking in the length department when it comes to its tragically short campaign, but it's a shining second chance example at proving that strategy games can work on consol...

  • Halo Wars 2 will scratch a real-time strategy itch and give you a dose of Halo-Universe flavor with a decent story, but it won't go much deeper than that. A run-of-the-mill campaign, controls that hamper micromanagement, conspicuous bugs, and multiplayer...

  • Easy to pick up and play, Nuances are well-explained, Entertaining plot with depth if needed
  • Minor frame-rate drops, Not for those looking for slower-paced strategy, Visually pedestrian, Rating (out of 10): 8, We played a review copy of Halo Wars 2 on the Xbox One S. The game is available from February 21 and costs Rs.4,000 ($60 in the US) for Wi

  • Stunning visuals, in-game and cinematic, Great Halo adaptation for action-oriented gamers, Good variety of army leaders and powers,
  • Campaign is excessively guided, Blitz mode loses steam after a few weeks, Skirmish only caters to aggressive play styles
