Halo Wars: Definitive Edition

10/10 too bad the multiplayer is dead

Best RTS ever just miss online vs.

I avoided Halo Wars for years because I assumed it wouldn't have enough variety to stand out as an RTS. But since I was looking for a more action-oriented RTS in the vein of Kohan, Company of Heroes, and Dawn of War, I finally decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did. The game perfectly captures the feel of the classic Halo titles, just from an RTS perspective. It has the same atmosphere, along with all the iconic vehicles and infantry units you'd expect from the series. While it isn't the deepest RTS mechanically, it succeeds by staying true to the Halo formula and delivering fast, enjoyable gameplay. On top of that, the modding scene adds even more value. There are some excellent mods that introduce new factions such as the Flood and the Forerunners, giving the game even more replayability. Definitely a must-try for RTS fans.

Loved playing this as a kid on the xbox 360, and loved replaying it now as an adult. The nostalgia just hit diff. It's honestly a great introductory game to the RTS scene, since mechanics are easy to understand with a little bit of depth to mess around in. It's one of the games that made me love strategy games, but you'd probably want to look elsewhere if you're after a deeper, more complicated RTS experience. The one thing I can't get my head around is how they managed to make the cutscenes look so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good back in 2009. It still honestly holds up extremely well today.

This game was a huge part of my childhood, and it still has one of the best stories I've ever experienced. On top of that, it's absolute cinema. It's an amazing top-down strategy game, and I honestly don't understand why it gets so much hate. I can play it for hours and never get tired of it.

as fun as it always was
