Halo Wars: Definitive Edition

Legendary can be hard at first but it's pretty good

Almost the perfect laid back RTS. I've bought this game so many times. Xbox 360, Xbox one, and now PC. I also enjoy more involved RTS games like Supreme Commander, StarCraft, ect... However the matches in those take too long and they are so involved with resource management and other things that sometimes those feel like a chore to play. With Halo Wars I can just lay back and play with a controller and only have one resource to manage. The game has 1 fault (2 if you are playing online), Not enough unit choices and some of the units in the game serve no purpose and no experienced player would ever use them. The grunts aren't effective against any units so why would anybody build those when Jackal's are the same price and completely dominate enemy infantry troops. Every unit should have a strength of some sort that gives them a purpose and unfortunately this game failed to do that. The balancing of units doesn't feel complete, like this games not done being made. However, to this day I haven't found a laid back RTS like this. So this is the best we've got. Just don't use the units that are useless and it's a fun game, its just unfortunate that we don't have more options in what we spend our resources on. The second fault is in the online play. If a teammate or two quits it really about guarantees you are going to lose the match. 1 vs 3 good luck. This is especially aggravating knowing the game has ai that you can play against. SO why not when a player quits replace them with an ai on Legendary difficulty instead of the game getting ruined for all the remaining players in the match.

a good game about the wars of halo
