It’s been 17 years since Company of Heroes 2 debuted with the Russian campaign of World War II. And now we’re finally getting Company of Heroes 3 with a massive campaign that combines both North Africa and the Italian theaters of the Second World War. It was worth the wait.

In contrast to shooters, the WWII genre hasn’t been overdone in the real-time strategy market for PC games, and there’s a lot of pent-up demand for this title from Sega’s Relic Entertainment studio. And so I’m happy to report that the developers did a great job with the title after more than four years of work.
