3. Dawn of War 2

Dawn of War 2 Gameplay

Coming back to true RTS roots is Dawn of War 2, which embraces traditional RTS play, while embodying the world of Warhammer 40K. You take control of one of three races and vie for dominance on the outskirts of known space. Built around a dynamic fast-paced RTS style, Dawn of War 2 should keep anyone’s attention, especially for as good as this game looks, even if it was released in 2009.

Warhammer 40k has a very distinct style that incorporates both range fighters and brutal melee and the game uses both types to full effect. Players of starcraft may see the resemblance of races between the Eldar and Tyrannids to the Protoss and Zerg, and that might alienate some players, but this is an RTS down to its core. The non-linear campaign is also quite welcome and makes for replability a viable option. With two expansions that really add to the game, this would be a great game to include one’s library.
