I gave CoH 3 a "Do Not Recommend" review on steam. Here it is:
I want to like company of heroes 3, but they released it in a terrible state. There's a good game beneath the surface, but it's going to take a lot of updates to un♥♥♥♥ this game.
But if you like the CoH series, and you're bored of playing CoH 2, I'd get CoH 3. It's worth playing, at least. As much as I'm disappointed at the state they released it in.
I think that's a very fair review of the game. Compare CoH 3's release to other AAA titles like Red Dead 2 and realize that there is a bit of a spark missing here. The game was buggy and unpolished, and I think it's fair for my review to state that.
I will, of course, update the review as time continues on and the game is patched and improved.
However, I will NOT review a game that does not exist yet. CoH 3 in a polished state is exactly that, a game that does not exist yet, and I'm not going to pretend to be a time traveler and review it like it does exist.
As of right now, I would easily recommend CoH 2 over CoH 3 to someone new to the genre. I'm sorry but it's the truth, as much as I like CoH 3 and as much as it pains me to say.
