Review: Halo Wars 2

The title “Best Console RTS” is a strange one, as it seems to be universally understood that strategy games are best played using a mouse and keyboard. However, as there haven’t been very many of them in the past, and because the ones that do exist weren’t very fun to play, the genre is stagnating. The reason for all this usually boils down to a single factor: control. Fortunately, Halo Wars 2 nails that department, and adds polish and an arcade-y gloss to the strategy formula to create a great RTS-lite game that is not only a great addition to the Halo lore that improves upon its predecessor, but the best strategy game created for a console.
