    Pretty amazing darn sp campaign, my only gripe is that again Relic manages to paint Soviets as bad ish while the Germans are the victims (It may very well have been true during the German retreat and when finally mas produced t34/84s started kicking the germans butt) but it was ze Germans who broke a peace treaty and attacked Russia and Killed god knows how many at first) but that asidePretty amazing darn sp campaign, my only gripe is that again Relic manages to paint Soviets as bad ish while the Germans are the victims (It may very well have been true during the German retreat and when finally mas produced t34/84s started kicking the germans butt) but it was ze Germans who broke a peace treaty and attacked Russia and Killed god knows how many at first) but that aside the game is indeed a very good sp rts experience... very funnily enough it reminded of playing warcraft 3 and frozen throne while playing it...... maybe my brain is experiencing glitches :0… Expand

    Again the effort that is has gone into making this is significant. Relic have much to be proud of.
    This is a single player struggle- and i mean struggle for once you are concerned about every soldier lost as it will effect you going forward. Although there are ways around it the games save system is rigid and designed to enforce discipline. This is not a game for simple impatient types-    Again the effort that is has gone into making this is significant. Relic have much to be proud of.

This an old fashion struggle for real strategy gamers.    … Expand

    Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault for me it's a great come back and I'm sure COH fan's will be happy with this game returning, My only complaint is it with sega I feel they are getting greedy for the prices of game and dlc's.

    Relic continues polishing and clarifying his great jewel and it is the turn to the campaign mode. After successive expansions, DLCs and contributions from the community, it is hard to believe that they will get a surprise.

    This was my pick for favorite game in the last half of 2014. Simply unbelievable in its difficulty, execution and replayability. It's not for those who like their hand held or "on-rails" games.

    Great strategic action, made better by the addition of an open campaign. Some tutorials would have been nice. [Issue#257, p.71]

    I really doubted the single player campaign in CoH2 could surprise me in any way, but the introduction of the strategic map made Ardennes Assault worthy of even being sold as a separate game. I’m impressed. [01/2015, p.56]

    This new addition costs as much as the core game and lacks multiplayer, but if you're happy stomping AI then the long, rewarding campaign will see you right. [Feb 2015, p.79]
