More dedicated RTS fans will find the UI and gameplay quite limiting, while playing on Xbox One micromanagement is near impossible due to the limitations of the controls and it ends up being easier to just take everything you have and throw it at enemies. Halo Wars 2 manages to continue with the original titles core mechanics but fails to really improve or expand upon them. The original Halo Wars had earned a reputation as being one of the best Real Time Strategy games on console. While the campaign only lasted around eight hours on a normal playthrough the ending was left open for more, and 343 has stated there will be campaign DLC in the future. As the game came to a close I felt let down that there weren’t more interactions between the human cast and Atriox. Atriox is mostly dealt with like the big bad hiding in the back ground and not at all like the over powered brute the start of the game portrayed him as.
For the most part the campaign felt like it was carried mostly by the AI Isabel and her interactions with Captain Cutter and the ships Science Officer Anders and her inner turmoil from dealing with Atriox. The campaign starts with two tutorial missions that help you get a handle on units, issuing orders and moving around the map, and Creative Assembly has done an awesome job of merging these into the story missions. Upon investigation, the ships Spartan “Red Team” finds the AI Isabel who then proceeds to tell them of how the Brute chieftain and games antagonist, Atriox and his army called the Banished, wiped out her team and the events that have transpired in the Halo universe while the ship was considered “Lost with all hands.” Halo Wars 2 opens with the crew being awakened above the Ark (Setting for the third Halo game) by a signal coming from the installations surface. Twenty-Eight years has passed since the crew of the Spirit of Fire were put into cryosleep after the events of the original Halo Wars, and the Halo universe has changed dramatically between the ending of the first game and this sequel.
