Halo Wars 2 2017

Is it still worth playing?

The crew of the ship Spirit of Fire arrives at the Ark, a Forerunner installation, and clashes with an alien faction called the Banished, in this 2017 real time strategy game. It is set in 2559, 28 years after the first Halo Wars, to tie it to the current timeline of the series. You build a base, gather resources to produce infantry and vehicles, and command armies from a bird's eye view. The usual goal is to destroy the enemy bases or capture territory. A rock, paper, scissors system balances combat: ground vehicles beat infantry, infantry beat aircraft and aircraft beat ground vehicles. Blitz is a card based mode where you deploy units and abilities anywhere on the battlefield, and buildings can only go on predetermined points. The cinematics are by Blur Studio. A rock, paper, scissors of units still makes every army a matchup to read.
