Top 10 Best February 2017 Games, According to Metacritic

Halo Wars 2 – Metacritic Score: 79

The sequel to the popular Halo-based RTS game released in February exclusively on Xbox One. It features huge battles, fast-paced strategic action, and a unique Halo story. Console RTS games haven’t always matched the quality of those on PC, but the first Halo Wars showed that console RTS’ could work.

Halo Wars 2 has been praised for being simple and easy to understand for players that are new to RTS games. The gameplay is solid, the AI is intelligent and challenging enough, and the new Blitz mode is a great addition. However, many critics have been disappointed that 343 Industries haven’t added much to the series, instead deciding to stick to the tried and tested formula that made the original so popular.
