Company of Heroes 2 Reviews

great game, level of detail is cool and the story is rich.

No idea what strategy is in this game. I just spam German mechanics, give them bazookas and rush the enemy base. It doesn't work but it calms the thoughts of ending it all.

Best RTS ever after COH1. Honestly the game felt a bit overwhelming at first but it gets super fun with time. If you enjoyed the first game then this one has many ways of approaching any skirmish (minus a few hiccups like pricey commanders/dlc). Solid 8/10 from me.

this game bit more easy compare to call to arms gates of hell. but I like it tbh, that's why I also buy western dlc. All I dislike is max army population, that's all.

Great game, good graphics and game play.

the standalone is decent, but you have to pay for the americans and british. shame sega does this with the rts games.

How to play the Brits Step 1: find a valuable point, victory point, fuel point or munitions point step 2: make the queens royal engineers (my heroes) Step 3: move them to the point and start constructions Step 4: construct a trailer park and call it Birmingham Step 5: watch a Sturmtiger/ Tiger B / Germany in general obliterate your trailer park Step 6: reconstruct Birmingham Step 7: get annoyed with rocket trucks and supports guns Step 8: attempt to execute all Artillery Step 9: get obliterated by said artillery Step 10: realise you lost the game 20 mins ago, and that Birmingham was never a real place PS: Don't build pillboxes, very very very bad, some people may get really angry also fuck you to the people i know that use artillery you know who you are 11/10 would build Birmingham again

It's still better than CoH 3, IMHO I sincerely hope they remaster this beautiful game... I consider it the most beloved History RTS game of all time ~

I'm terrible at this game. It's a bit overwhelming to me due to the speed at which every AI and player except me can make progress, but then most RTS are like that for me unless they have lower speed settings. I think the game looks and feels very gritty and cool, so I like it.. just not a genre I've ever gotten good with since it's not my main game type. But if you like RTS then it's a good game.

I really wanted to like this game. I loved the first, but this game is a far cry from it. The campaign was decent enough, but what really kills this game is the garbage level monetization and trash DLCs. You only get access to two factions with the base game, which is absolutely unacceptable for any RTS, even in 2013. I am struggling to remember any other RTS that has released with only two factions since Warcraft 2...and that was 1995. Even the first game had four factions and this game cut it in half, unless you want to pay more money to get access to other factions. The limited faction choice in the base game isn't even the worst part. Some of the best Commanders are only available through MXT, which determine the kind of upgrades and sometimes even the units that you can produce. They also sell "Intel Bulletins" which are straight boosts that do things like increase how fast units produce, increase accuracy, decrease cooldown, and whole host of other passive boosts. Aside from this, they have a ton of 'skins' that you can buy for different units and factions, which is stupid for an RTS. Not even counting the sheer greed factor at play, visual identification is a key element in RTS games. Then, beyond this...if you do get curious and just want to try it out for the campaign, like I did, do not buy the DLCs. They are absolute garbage. All of the "Theater of War" missions are complete bullshit. The missions force-lock you into playing as either the Soviets or Germans. The Soviet missions aren't bad, but any mission that you are playing as the Germans, get ready for some poorly balanced garbage and constantly beating your head against cheating AI and no real, meaningful way to counter their tank spam without cheesing the battles.
