There is also praise
On the other hand, some players can also be heard who clearly contradict the negative portrayal. So writes about a Redditor:
This is going to be an apparently unpopular opinion, but I really enjoyed the playtest. I almost didn’t try it because of the (negative) posts here, but quickly changed my mind after playing with a friend last night. Don’t take the internet as fact and try it yourself, maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised like me.
Confirm other usersthat they would also have fun and could not understand at least parts of the criticism or thought it was exaggerated. Some even consider CoH 3 to be better than the predecessor.
Overall, based on the individual opinions, it is difficult to assess how the strategy game will be received by the community. Overall, only comparatively few players are discussing here, and a lot can change before the release.
Our editorial strategist Fabiano sees a lot of potential in Company of Heroes 3 after playing it extensively. At the same time, he worries about the single-player campaign.
