    The game still has huge bugs (PS5): If you load a manual save from the middle of a battle, that mission is almost guaranteed to have a gamebreaking bug in it. I have on multiple occasions, had the game freeze after a mission, making me replay it.
    I have also had a bunch of small bugs and errors. Nothing super serious, but still realy annoying.

    You can skip (auto resolve) most of the combat missions, but you will do much better if you play them manually. The problem is that they quickly become repetitive and boring, set in the same maps, fighting the same enemies, doing the same objectives over and over.

    The big main missions a fun, unless the game makes you replay them due to a bug. I do like the core gameplay, and the tactical aspect of using different unit types to counter the enemy. It has hints of a Rock-Paper-Scissors system, until you get tanks, then it’s just about who has more tanks.    … Expand

    COH3 plays out not with a bang, nor a whimper, but with an indifferent shrug. There’s very little spark for something with so many explosions. [Issue#29, p.88]

    Company of Heroes 3: Console Edition brings the glory of the real-time strategy genre to the consoles in a spectacular way. Featuring two different campaigns and a freshened-up design, it will give you hours of good fun sitting in front of your big screen.

    Playing Company of Heroes 3 on PS5 means accepting to play either a poorly optimized PS4 game (resolution mode) or a fat PS4 game at the end of its life (performance mode). Yes, technically, it's a real wreck. It's naughty or simply awful depending on the mode chosen. That being said, the game is still very playable and ultimately well optimized for the controller. We simply regret the lack of precision and responsiveness in the absence of a shortcut. But the work of the developers is there. The interface has been partially revised and it's pretty well done. It's up to you now if you're ready to sacrifice the visual aspect in the name of the altar of the strategy game, a genre underrepresented on home consoles. For the rest, Company of Heroes 3 remains the same game as on PC. An honest, but naughty strategy game.
