    It’s been 24 years since we last experienced the magic of an actual Commandos game with Men of Courage. Commandos: Origins boldly takes the franchise back to where it all began. After the 2006 release of Commandos: Strike Force, the series felt lost to history. But Origins storms back onto the scene, capturing the heart and soul of what made Commandos legendary and even pushing it further. Sure, it’s not without flaws, camera quirks, and occasional bugs cropping up. Still, for veterans and newcomers alike, Origins delivers an irresistible mix of stealth, strategy, and endless replayability that’s hard to put down.

    There's a lot to love in the level design and tactical toolkit afforded. I just wish some of the bugs and performance issues were ironed out so I could enjoy them more. Unless you're a patient gamer who enjoys real-time-tactics games, or a long-time Commandos aficionado, you might want to wait for one or two updates from now to try this out.

    Commandos: Origins is a meaningful revival of the real-time stealth genre, which has returned after a long silence. However, bugs, poor optimization, and game crashes diminish its impact. It needs to be reborn as a better game through patches and updates.

    Commandos: Origins is probably very good; an interesting historical setting, charming visuals, and deep and varied strategic options. You won’t notice any of that if playing on console however, you’ll be too busy wrestling with the terrible controls to be having much fun. That, and the buggy visuals, make this one to be missed unless you're on PC.
