Halo Wars 2 vs Sins of a Solar Empire
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.
Sins of a Solar Empire
Sins of a Solar Empire is a massive real-time strategy game with an impressively in-depth background story filled with political intrigue, faction conflicts and a mysterious divisive influence that threatens to tear the Advent Unity apart from within. Play as a loyalist ot a rebel and amass a space fleet consisting of a wide variety of ships including Capital ships, Corvettes and the scales-tipping Titan class warships. Sins of a Solar Empire is also a uniquely non-linear game where there are multiple paths, be it military action or diplomacy, that you can take to obtain victory.The game even attempted to coin a new genre called "4X" that stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate which is basically what the game is all about. You'll be exploring the solar system, expanding your fleet, exploiting allies and exterminating your enemies. After all, the survival of your faction should be your sole concern.
So, if building massive empires in space is your thing, Sins of a Solar Empire is exactly the game you need to play.
