Every Major Xbox One Exclusive - Ranked From Worst To Best

While real-time strategy games have long held a reputation for being absolutely horrendous on consoles (thanks in no small part to a control scheme that doesn't comfortably fit onto a regular gamepad), Halo Wars 2 is one of the rare entries in the genre designed with consoles in mind.

As a result, managing your troops and engaging in all-out tactical war has never been easier for Xbox RTS fans.

Recreating the huge scale of the main series from a tactical perspective, Halo Wars 2's core gameplay makes for a deep RTS experience that's easy to pick up for newcomers and longtime genre fans alike.

Plus, there's a surprisingly engrossing story at the heart of the game too, with amazing production values and an epic orchestral score that act as the stunning backdrop to every battle.
