This is the gameplay flair that Company of Heroes 2 has inherited and developed while including innovations and mechanics meant to keep players intrigued for longer periods of time. Battles have an almost cinematic feeling fueled by advanced physics and a randomness matching the one of war. Tactics prevail over raw speed in a grim and violent visual spectacle worthy of SpielbergвЂ™s war masterpieces like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. A mix of realism and arcade that was quite different from what most of the RTS games at the time had to offer. But letвЂ™s find out why!Д¬ompany of Heroes was a game with an inexact gameplay mimicking the chaotic battlefields of World War II. ItвЂ™s an interesting question how a game with a slightly disappointing campaign and a multiplayer riddled with problems could withstand the test of time. The proof for this stands in the steamcharts website highlighting a hurtful difference in playerbase between these two games in question, with Company of Heroes 2 leading by a long shot despite its considerable age. Company of Heroes 2 was just an early launch that didnвЂ™t crash land and after some extra tinkering it was ready to go again, and it did. While the latter is a big deviation from the base formula set by its predecessors, the former delivered in terms of gameplay expectations with the appropriate innovation but in a technically challenged manner. The development story of Company of Heroes 2 is rather different than the one of Dawn of War III. But as IвЂ™m in a mood for strategy games and WWII themed entertainment, IвЂ™m giving this game another chance to explore its new content and find out why it is so much more popular today, four years after its release. A review that was more like a poorly written outburst of emotions about the sequel of my favorite RTS of all times rather than objective criticism.

IвЂ™m going to kick off this series by returning to the first game I reviewed on this blog, Company of Heroes 2. For that purpose IвЂ™m introducing the вЂњSlash from the pastвЂќ series (big thanks to my editor and my focus group for the name!) in which IвЂ™ll revisit games, looking at them from a new perspective as I replay them months or even years after my initial playthroughs.

While Screenshot of the Week does give me this luxury, these are supposed to be trivial articles summarizing a weekвЂ™s gaming adventures. I thought for a while about a new series that could allow me to write about video games without having to go through the lengthiness and stages of a true review. Slash from the past: Company of Heroes 2!
