Makes Me Feel Like A Kid Again

This PC port of beloved classic games in the Halo Franchise has made me feel like a kid again. Therefore it is worth a buy.

Just like the OG AOE 2 but better, besides a few performance and connection issues at launch; this version is pretty good. The new CIVs and campaigns a pretty good, and finally having servers for multiplayer has made playing with randoms more fun.

"It Just Works..."

My first ever paradox game I had bought. For that reason, it has a special place in my heart. I love this game, as I love WW2, but this game does have some big flaws.

Pros:
Scope (I can play as any nation in WW2 even if it is very limited)
You can feel the nature of combined arms through the game mechanics.
The music and sound effects are pretty good.
Can play with DLC not owned online if the host owns it.
Mod support.

Cons:
Lacks in-depth features that were present in HOI3 e.g. money, HQs, supply depot, proper guerrilla and partisan
Poor performance late game
Some DLCs are essential as the base game is very shallow in some areas e.g. game focuses and flavour

I would recommend this game to anyone who loves WW2 games or is a big fan of grand strategy.

4.5 out of 5 war crimes

"It just works"

Out of all the Total War games I've played, Shogun 2 has been the one I keep coming back to. I've spent countless hours playing campaigns and multiplayer battles. If you are new to Total War or haven't played Shogun 2, I would highly recommend you check it out. As the soundtrack scores the animation kills and the sounds e.g. matchlock fire and the impact of arrows are amazing.

P.S there are some really good mods and custom maps you should check out.
