Company of Heroes 3 Anniversary Update: A Fresh Take on Classic Strategy

If you're looking for an immersive and long-lasting campaign, Company of Heroes 3 delivers in spades. I have streamed my experience on my Twitch! Playing the campaign for over 5 hours, I can tell that Company of Heroes 3 delivers with a gripping storyline, vast world-building, and deep gameplay mechanics; it offers countless hours of entertainment. Whether you enjoy skirmishing, engaging in intense battles, or defending, there's something here for everyone.

One of the biggest strengths of the game is its campaign: it's rich, well-paced, and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Unlike many modern titles that rely on repetitive missions or filler content, this game ensures that every hour spent feels meaningful. The variety of objectives, side quests, and storyline make it a journey worth taking.

However, no game is perfect, and this one does have its flaws—primarily with the AI. While the world and mechanics are well-designed, enemy behavior can sometimes feel lackluster. There are moments where enemies seem to lose track of the player entirely and fail to react appropriately. At times, their actions feel too predictable or unchallenging, especially with the way they charge into battle and use the same cover as your squads, which can take away from the immersion and intensity of combat encounters.

Despite these issues, the game remains a must-play for fans of the genre. The sheer depth of content, compelling narrative, and overall polish make it a fantastic experience. If the AI were a bit more refined, this could have been a near-perfect title. Even so, it's still an adventure well worth your time.

Final Verdict: 8/10

A fantastic game with an unforgettable campaign, but a bit of AI fine-tuning would make it even better.
