Company of Heroes 2: Platinum Edition
Company of Heroes 2 continues to develop nicely with The British Forces, which adds a fun new army that plays very differently to any other faction in the game. If you’re a greenhorn like me, you’ll probably opt to make the most of that British defensive expertise by settling down in a nice solid defensive position and weathering waves of enemy attacks, but Relic has provided plenty of variety for those who prefer a more direct approach. By offering players a choice between the Hammer and the Anvil, Relic has prevented the British army from feeling like a retread of the formula established in the original game. An excellent addition.
