Relic has been at the pinnacle of the RTS (real-time strategy) scene for some time now. That's not to say this is much of a surprise. Availability: Out 23 February on PC ( Steam), with PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions coming soon.Company of Heroes 3 is very, very good, in part because great care has been taken with those gambles on its setting and tone.

A game that simulates war for fun, which releases, somewhat unbelievably, a day before the anniversary of the war in Ukraine, and is - despite the questionable nature of putting you in a Wehrmacht commander's shoes, and astonishingly poor decision-making behind its release date - somehow, a success. This is the odd situation that Company of Heroes 3 puts you in, however. Let's get this one out of the way early: there's a certain strangeness - or worse - to talking about how good the bits where you get to play as Erwin Rommel are in a video game. Navigating a tonal minefield with just enough confidence, Company of Heroes 3 is a big, refined, and beautifully textured addition to an already brilliant series.
