I don’t often think this while playing games, but a mouse and keyboard would be so beneficial for Halo Wars 2. There is the ability to set up presets, but being able to do so first time without pausing to think takes a while…but then maybe my grey matter just isn’t as responsive as it used to be. It’s a sharp learning curve to grasp the controls and select the right units you want. But it’s the kind of mindless fun you still have to pay attention to…if that makes sense.Ī gripe I have with Halo Wars 2 is in the control scheme. I’d recommend loading into Skirmish or Blitz if you want more mindless fun. Tuning out and not paying attention to the story might make the gameplay itself a little dull, but it all depends on what kind of player you are. While many missions have a similar sort of objective: Go here, kill those guys, take out that base, control this point, they are varied enough to not get boring, and are interesting enough so long as you pay attention to the context behind the actions. The feeling of decimating an enemy’s army and base is so satisfying, especially since you can hear your foe’s reaction over the comms channel. This means that if you’re a Halo fan who really hates RTS games, you can avoid Halo Wars 2 without being left in the dark too much. The story is an offshoot of Halo’s main storyline it’s a different enemy, a different threat.

The story told in Halo Wars 2 is set three decades after the events of the original Halo Wars, and takes place chronologically after Halo 5: Guardians.
