I even passed on our original review of the game due to a bias that I might have towards it as I had sunk so many hours into the original.
Though even as one of the most devout Halo Wars fans, I wasn’t that impressed with Halo Wars 2 at launch. It featured both an incredible campaign and online multiplayer that was good enough to keep you coming back for more. The now defunct Ensemble Studios did an amazing job with that first game. A brand new expansion to the game has arrived in Awakening the Nightmare and with us being nearly eight months out since launch it’s time to go back and check the pulse on one of Microsoft’s most highly touted exclusives of the year. It is currently rated as generally positive on the review aggregator, Metacritic. It did not seem like a recipe for success and I’m not sure that it was one for them in terms of sales. The game didn’t get bad reviews. Microsoft Studios teamed with one of the best developers in the genre, Creative Assembly, for a Real Time Strategy title at a time when most developers were working on a new hero shooter or MOBA. The investment to resurrect this IP was a risky one.
