Company of Heroes 2 Review

Strategy is key

Company of Heroes 2 is a ww2 real time based strategy game that was released mid June 2013 as it may not seem that it surpassed the original company of heroes it was still a solid and enjoyable game. The one thing that put the game off was the pay to win system, as you wont really be progressing in the multiplayer without commanders as they tend to be quite pricey and does take a while to grind for them. Company of Heroes 2 has great graphics and it feels immersive with the game and can be competitive online. Fight as the Soviets in the main campaign with the ferocity of the German onslaught on the Eastern front. There are a few DLC's that may be worth getting only if they are on sale as some of the content are limited for their price, quite a fair bit of heroic moments on a few occasions, especially the goliath and demolition charges taking down whole squads. Tanks are very brutal in combat and can really determine the game and can be really fun when the opponents armour cannot defeat your tanks which commonly happens in 3v3 and 4v4 matches. Its all about the teamwork and strategy on 3v3 to 4v4 matches as someone can let your team down easily by not contributing to the battlefield. Multiplayer content wont be as enjoyable unless you get the DLC's with the allied and axis forces (Oberkommando West, US Forces and British forces). Without these DLC'S the online content will feel incomplete because the people who own the DLCs have an advantage against other players that dont own them.  

You would need a decent rig to be able to play this game on recommended settings for the best quality gameplay and experience that this game has to offer. Anything with a direct X 11 gpu should be sufficient enough with a decent processor which should be able to play this game on medium to high settings on 40-60fps.
