Unfortunately CH2 is a brutal downgrade with the previous game, the campaign is horrible and doesn't even bring immersiveness and impact as brought by the company of heroes 1. The Command Selection( CH1 ) was much better than what the devs decided to put in the game, they just let me down in that aspect and didn't make the game more complicated they made the game more tiring because of the amount of times you'll have to farm xp to receive "boxes" to unlock those perks that you will use in battle and in my view this all worked because they just wanted to focus on Online.
    We in the game have two military divisions one nazi and one soviet completely useless compared to "dlcs" they bring to unlock campaigns and in this again the company of heroes 2 fails completely. This only served to extort money on the strength of the company of heroes fans. You have a store built into the game to buy "skins" for your units. "pls kill me" The units that DLCS offer are Overpower that shouldn't have been "dlc's" but the base of the game, the campaign itself is very poorly crafted.
    There are many other negative points in the game that leave something to be desired, it even makes me want to buy the company of heroes 1 bundle again. But I have the only positive point that at least you can play with a friend or against a friend, it's the only positive thing this game has. Because the Multiplayer of Company of heroes 1 was much more complicated to access or connect to the servers because of the trash application they were using at the time.    … Expand

    Extremely boring, nothing new for the genre. Additionally, it lacks of deep on vehicles and technologies of WW2 and tend to simplify all.

    The idea is nice. But the execution is a desaster. Controls and balance - the aspects where Relic is an expert at failing - really reach a new level of cancer in this game.

    The game is so chipped cranberry that you won't know if it was the Canadians who made it or the American sons of Sam!

    The campaign completely contradicts common sense and logic! Shooting down the NKVD, KGB, AND THE MOST FAMOUS BARRAGE TROOPS! An army that apparently didn't give a damn about its own lands and homeland, and a bunch of other stuff! And yet, I'm sorry of course, but    The game is so chipped cranberry that you won't know if it was the Canadians who made it or the American sons of Sam!

    And yet, I'm sorry of course, but maybe I didn't notice, but where is the ELEMENTARY OPPORTUNITY to order the troops to lie down, and crawl without shooting, in everything that moves? I sent fighters to the rear of the enemy, I thought everything was OK, I probably already went to the camp, and then I look, and they died.... running to the goal in full growth, and shooting (as can be seen from the replay) at the enemies passing by)

    The graphics are good in principle, but still feel like a Man of War, but with stripped-down mechanics.

    But the network component, I was a little amused, but the players came across normal.

    AND THE MOST INCOMPREHENSIBLE THING is that when you start the game, and exit it, the Language icon in the Taskbar disappears, and the language changes! You have to go to the Windows 10 settings > Language, and there put it in English, and then in Russian....

    And yes! I was offended by the game)! Thank you, developers, for what I saw, perhaps my grandfather, who burned his own fellow citizens in the villages))!    … Expand

    It's virtually unplayable. You can try for a million years and you will never get past mission 3. The enemy has tanks and armored cars that are immune to bullets, and all you have are bullets. There are no mortars, no recoiless rifles, no AT guns, no tanks, no tank hunters. It's flat out impossible to win without cheating through every mission. This is bordering on Daikatana levels of broken.

    This game is an absolute waste of time. Terrible story and terrible new uninteresting characters. Whoever created this story should be fired for ruining an excellent franchise. I waited 7 years for a heaping pile of garbage to ruin the masterpiece of the original Last of Us. This is the only game I've ever wanted my money back for but I can't because of pre-ordered it from PSN!

    Company of Heroes 2 is not a game. This is not a strategy. This is an insult to the memory and heroism of the soviet people. This is nazi propaganda.

    Low-quality anti-Russian propaganda. What is the basis of this story? Of course, these are Russian orcs who fill up their corpses with noble and pure-blooded Nazis.

    Short version:
    Trolls, Toxics, AFKs, Leaver, Griefer, TeamKiller etc.
    And otherwise: Relic / Sega has not managed to get CHEATER, TROLLE / GRIEFER and a clever MM over the years. And the BUGs only ..... some have been since the ALPHA !! in the game.

    0/10 the most imbalanced game on the market.

    Germany is so incredibly overpowered, for umm a War they lost. Takes all fun out of the game when Germany wins 90% of matches, Tigers that did not even work half the time in real life are EQUAL in resources and tier to a goddamn T34 85... Putting that aside they are basically impossible to destroy and work flawlessly in all conditions.    0/10 the most imbalanced game on the market.

It's a pretty basic strategy game model- build structures, train units, micro said units around the map until you win. There are some very interesting mechanics that set this game apart from others: there is context cover that your infantry can use on the map which is quite the innovation. See that wooden fence? Some light cover. A collection of thick trees and brush? Good cover. Did your boys destroy an enemy tank? The derelict vehicle can now be used to take cover.

    However- the monetization of the game is abhorrent and should not be supported. Ridiculously priced DLC, literally dozens (probably more than 70% in the game) of commanders are locked behind a paywall (the leader you pick for bonuses, commander specific units- similar to picking your race in Starcraft or which country you are in Red Alert), but worst of all. . . there are loot boxes. I'm serious, there are loot boxes in this game. Massive yikes being called in danger close- avoid this game unless you can get it for free.    … Expand

    And it have a lot of politics - its not about of hard but great victory, its about a Bad Stalin, bad Bolsheviks who kills their own people. Anyone in Russia remember all crimes of Nazi - millions of soviet people were killed, raped by invaders. But game keep silent about it.    … Expand

    Company of Heroes 2 is curiously forgettable as single player, even though cliched horrors of war and overdose of fake accents try their best. As a multiplayer it shines, although beginners usually think otherwise. [Aug 2013]

    Relic Entertainment cleared the hurdle the original game set as far as I'm concerned. Tweaking, remoulding and teasing out the underlying systems of the original, and then layering things like cold weather, may not set the world on fire like the original Company of Heroes did but it's still a solid strategy game and with the right support and continued release of content I can see it living on for quite some time.

    Everything its predecessor was: an intense and enjoyable RTS that gives you the feeling of really being an armchair general. It is just unfortunate that after waiting so long for a sequel, it doesn't offer too much in the way of innovation.
