Company of Heroes 3 is a conservative's dream, the ultimate safe bet of a sequel and a clear reaction to the studio getting its hands singed by DoW 3's creative chances. There were some who might have worried after the mixed-at-best reactions to Dawn of War 3, which gambled much more aggressively on giving units active abilities and its multiplayer maps more defined 'lanes', but they shouldn't. Relic has been at the pinnacle of the RTS (real-time strategy) scene for some time now. That's not to say this is much of a surprise.

Availability: Out 23 February on PC ( Steam), with PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions coming soon.

Company of Heroes 3 is very, very good, in part because great care has been taken with those gambles on its setting and tone. A game that simulates war for fun, which releases, somewhat unbelievably, a day before the anniversary of the war in Ukraine, and is - despite the questionable nature of putting you in a Wehrmacht commander's shoes, and astonishingly poor decision-making behind its release date - somehow, a success. This is the odd situation that Company of Heroes 3 puts you in, however. Let's get this one out of the way early: there's a certain strangeness - or worse - to talking about how good the bits where you get to play as Erwin Rommel are in a video game.
