“Improves upon everything that made Coh1 great but also has divisive choices like commanders...a bit microtransaction heavy...the physics got upgraded,with tanks being able to fall into ice... It's a fun game, kinda a…”
“The worthy predecessor of the CoH1 and an amazing game on its own lime light. I strongly recommend as this game is still alive and the commander system makes it fun and every match unique and suited to your style.”
“Very fun game, it's a bit hard on start but once you get the hang of it, u go far away :D”

“Company of Heroes 2 is a real-time strategy (RTS) game set during World War II, focusing mainly on tactical squad-based combat rather than large-scale base building. Developed by Relic Entertainment and released in…”

“Much better than COH 1 and in my opinion better than COH 3. In 3 one can customise better but graphics much better with 2”
“The game is verry cool. it runs fine on my laptop and the detail is great for a game from 2016”
“Pretty fun game, the unit models are incredibly well made. Though the AI you face can be a little overpowered when they spam out trucks. But its incredibly fun to play with your homeboy.”

“Very very good macro intensive rts, each faction feel wildly distinctive to play and the commander on different playstyle, at start of the game you chose a commander that let it further expand the possibilities. The…”
“Legendary game. You play it for the mods like Wikinger, the base game is just really brainless. Tanks have a ton of HP as do infantry otherwise. I'm definitely the minority though and could give a ♥♥♥♥ about campaign.…”

“Solid WWII RTS... Russian campaign is pretty good, but the game feels a bit easy and like you're on rails for the campaign. Revisited after years and found it enjoyable.”

“How is it that I never left a review for this when I played it? I used to love playing 1v1 and 2v2 ranked as Americans using a recoil-less focused build. This first game remains one of my all time fav games and…”

“The game has long since died, but if you've ever wanted to know what current online play is like listen to this: The remaining players on here (as of April 2026) run almost exclusively blob spam playstyles, with AXIS…”
“Absolutely horrendous ...If you played CoH 1 and you are expecting tactics and strategy instead of an arcade shooting game it will be a sore disappointment ... they already had this direction in CoH 1 extensions where…”
“This game is very interesting, and should be lots of fun however it is not. Having put many hours into this game, I have never found it to be fun. Throughout the game almost everything is behind a pay wall. A few…”

“I was expecting an RTS, but it’s basically 70% arcade game. It’s a good game, pretty faithful to the source material. It’s a lot of fun to play with friends in multiplayer!”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played““It’s just an RTS,” I said. Five minutes later my entire army froze to death because I didn’t build a campfire. Tanks get stuck, soldiers scream in the snow, and you start questioning every tactical decision you’ve ever made. Victory feels earned — defeat feels personal. +…”

I feel like I would need to down 3 redbulls and snort a line of cocaine to be able to play this game. Actions per minute is now more consequential than everything else. Tactics,…”
