Garry's Mod vs Halo Wars 2
Garry's Mod
Garry's Mod is a sandbox game that brings back the hilarity and joy of being able to simply experiment and have fun. There aren't any objectives in this game; you are simply given the tools you need to play with... just like that time when you get your first Lego set. Being a purely community-driven game, Garry's Mod is quite the multiplayer game. You can hop into any of the created content or game modes and have fun with your friends, except for buy-to-play games in which you'll need to own the base game first. You can also opt to spend time to create new content that you can then share with the community. If you'd rather play in peace, you can play Garry's Mod offline too.Garry's Mod is definitely the sort of game that creative players would enjoy. The amount of stuff you can play there is astounding and of course, you are given absolute freedom to express yourself through your creations if you choose to do so.
Halo Wars 2
Halo Wars 2 is the exciting sequel to Halo Wars (obviously) that's set after the events of Halo 5. Featuring a single player/co-op campaign that sends you on a mission to the legendary Ark, players will need to command their armies in epic large-scale battles against a powerful enemy. The game also has a multiplayer aspect as well, allowing you to test your mettle against other players (1 to 3 players per team).The latest addition in this game though is its Blitz option. It's a game mode that combines the deck-building of collectible cards with real-time strategy. So in other words, you'll be battling other players or waves of enemies with a deck (your army) you built.
Halo Wars 2 is definitely the game to get if you've enjoyed the original game or any classic RTS games like Starcraft. The only bummer is that the game is Xbox-exclusive, so players on the PC or other consoles will not be able to experience this game.
