Judging by the early reviews, Company of heroes 3 It should not disappoint the hopes of veterans of the series and RTS in general. According to the journalists, fans will find all the familiar and appreciated elements of the two previous installments, but especially expanded and modernized.
It’s unlikely anyone will complain about the range of tactical options available. The diversity of factions, troops and their equipment prevents CoH 3 to become boring even after many hours of play. Two campaigns also do their job, it’s true according to some testers, they don’t offer much in terms of intrigue, but they are full of really diverse missions. As a result, players can spend dozens of hours experimenting with different tactics.
However, there are reasons why few gave the game perfect marks. First Company of Heroes was thrilled with the graphics, but the images of the third, although not ugly, will not surprise anyone.
CoH 3 also carried over the legacy of the previous installment in the form of units having occasional issues with path finding. Additionally, there were a few other shortcomings, but not enough to call it a bug fest.
To sum up, Company of heroes 3 seems to be the sequel fans of the series have been waiting for years. Veterans can check it out when the game launches on PC on February 23. The title will also launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles later this year.
