Although it has its problems, it's a game that can be as addictive as CoH 2 once you get used to it. The single-player mode is a bit shaky, but the multiplayer is promising.

Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition is a good way to enjoy a RTS experience with the controller. The latest Relic Entertainment video game shows several compromises, but the missions give a lot of fun.

A more than correct debut of the Company of Heroes franchise on Xbox and further proof that real-time strategy games are not the heritage of PC and can work very well on other platforms with due adaptation work. This third installment of the IP with its classic proposal and its innovative additions can welcome several players to a genre that often seems inaccessible to those who have just ventured into it. Welcome to Xbox, Company of Heroes 3, we were waiting for you.

Company of Heroes 3 proves that its unique and addicting RTS formula remains intact, and while it has plenty of solo and multiplayer content to keep you engaged for hours, a few design issues and presentation weaknesses prevent it from being declared an outright triumph.
Company of Heroes 3 excels in delivering tactical depth, engaging battles, and faction diversity, making it a worthy addition to the franchise. Recent improvements to the dynamic campaign have enhanced its appeal. However, the game faces challenges related to mission objectives, storytelling choices, and faction balance in multiplayer. With ongoing updates and refinement, it has the potential to solidify its position within the series further and recapture the series’ former glory.
Company of Heroes 3 is an impressive addition to the series that delivers an immersive experience to WWII buffs and real-time strategy enthusiasts alike. The new dynamic campaign and multiplayer modes offer fresh and challenging gameplay, while the colorful graphics and attention to detail provide an aesthetically pleasing experience. While the restrictive early game in the campaign mode and occasional repetitive gameplay can be frustrating, these minor flaws are overshadowed by the game’s strengths. If you’re looking for an exciting and immersive WWII strategy game, Company of Heroes 3 is a must-play.
Company of Heroes 3 brings the franchise’s fast-paced tactics to the comfort of your couch.
As more and more strategy games make their way to consoles, Company of Heroes 3: Console Edition brings its unique blend of real-time strategy with deep, tactical combat to a new audience. While the single player campaigns not only offer two vastly different takes on progression and gameplay but varied and exhilarating combat, the multiplayer modes feel like a side offering. Anyone wanting to play this mainly by themselves will have an amazing time, while competitive players should stick to older titles of the series on PC.

If you are looking for a Real-time strategy game that checks all the boxes, then Company of Heroes 3 deserves a look. The Italy campaign is roughly 20-30 hours’ worth of gameplay along with another 6 or so hours playing through the Africa campaign. While it may not be the grand strategy game in the likes of the Total War and Hearts of Iron series, it’s still an approachable and fun game in its own right.
Company of Heroes 3 is an excellent game for veterans of the RTS genre and complete newbies who've never felt the rush of overseeing resources while micromanaging units on a virtual battlefield. Its double campaign feature provides two very distinct ways to experience the game, while the real-time strategy gameplay shows just how engaging and rewarding the genre can be if you give it the time and learn the systems in place.
The cover system is absolutely fantastic and just works as described. The level of destruction and interactability with the environment is something every RTS should have. It launched with two full campaigns as well, even if I much prefer the mission based one to the Total War knockoff. The biggest issue I have with the game is how unbalanced and limited the Multiplayer feels in its current state. There’s also a total lack of Multiplayer progression, which feels like a weird omission for an RTS title. Still, there’s nothing broken here that can’t be fixed, and while I’m really getting tired of playing unfinished games, at least the foundation here is incredibly solid and fun.
All in all, it's clear that a lot of love has been poured into Company of Heroes 3, and that Relic is passionate about enhancing the core gameplay experience. Even though the game's Italy campaign can be too big for its boots at times, Company of Heroes 3 still presents an enjoyable game that successfully retains plenty of the series' classic gameplay elements. With an engaging North African mission, plenty of map variation, four factions, beautiful visuals, and an engaging setting, both veteran strategy fans and newbies are sure to find something that will appeal in Company of Heroes 3.
The core gameplay of Company of Heroes has never felt better, and there are hours upon hours of fun to be had simply blasting your way through other players or teaming up against AI opponents. The dual campaigns are honestly a bit of a letdown, but I’m hopeful things could be streamlined or improved with future patches and updates. The RTS genre has undoubtedly been in a slump over the last decade, but Company of Heroes 3 might be just the shot in the arm it needs to keep going.
Company of Heroes 3 doesn't nail absolutely everything and sometimes gets in its own way, but there's no denying just how good it is when firing on all cylinders.
If you like the idea of grand armies and large battle maps, but found Total War: Warhammer III not to your liking, then the less intimidating Company of Heroes 3 might be up your alley instead. Relic has really branched out with this one, and while Company of Heroes 3 takes some creative liberties in the World War II stories it tells, they have an energy and heart in place of historical accuracy. Relic adding tactical pausing to Company of Heroes 3 isn’t blasphemous, it’s brilliant; Relic adding a dynamic campaign is not foolish, it is fantastic. There’s so much to love here, Company of Heroes 3 never stops giving for those who wanted more, and is a total victory for the real-time strategy genre.
If you're a fan of the series or the genre, this one is a no-brainer.
Company of Heroes 3 can confidently stand alongside its predecessors in the series. It's a fun real-time strategy game, although not as revolutionary or distinctive as its older siblings. The gameplay is almost the same as it was in the previous games.

Company of Heroes 3 may not always hit the right notes, but as far as RTS console ports go, it doesn't get much better than this.
Relic has taken everything that makes the first two games great and made sufficient additions to help Company of Heroes 3 succeed in this renaissance of RTS titles.
