Company of Heroes 3
Release Date: 23 February 2023

Strengths:
-Good multiplayer gameplay

Limitations:
-Less variety in factions and units
-Rating system is poorer than COH2 and looks like it is still in development
-Interface is inferior to COH2
-Graphic animations especially bullets and explosions are slow and inferior to COH2

Conclusion:
COH3 has not been the worthy successor of COH2 which is still an awesome game. This is probably due to the fact that the actual Relic team has been disbanded and the new team just couldn’t replicate the gameplay, graphics or mechanics of COH2. This being said, the game is not bad though. Its multiplayer is fun to play and maybe the only reason to buy this game. Single player is absolutely crap. The game’s interface is inferior to COH1 and COH2. COH3 is made probably to please the kids rather than mature players. Graphics are OK but not better than COH2. Factions are Wehrmacht and Afrika Corps, Italians on the Axis side and USA, British on the Allies side. The positive aspects of COH3 is that they have brought several elements of COH1 into this game like multiple fuel points as opposed to only 2 per map in COH2, units like Flak88, motorcycle, ketenkrad etc. are available in this game. Several new tanks like panzer 3, black prince churchill, matilda, Italian light tanks etc. have been included. Infantry units are more or less the same only differing in weaponry here and there. Overall, it is a fairly decent game but definitely overpriced for the content it offers. But it is worth buying for the good multiplayer gameplay. It makes sense to buy it on sale.

Gameplay: 7/10
