Halo Wars 2 - Pour one out for Ensemble

Is anyone playing HW2? I picked it up yesterday through an MS employee discount, and I played the first few missions last night.

I’m totally struck by how the gameplay could have been lifted straight out of any RTS from 20 years ago. There’s not even one iota of evolution on display here. The maps are about the same size as the games from 20 years ago. The units are still brain dead. Nothing has changed except for the graphics. Seriously. It’s depressing as hell.
