I am fairly new to the strategy genre, but I know that Relic is one of the most innovative companies in the field. Company of Heroes brings so much to the table, from it's squad-based tactics, garrison commands, and just general cinematic flair for creating a memorable look at the Normandy front. I am no historian, and I am 100% sure that Medal of Honor and Saving Private Ryan had a huge influence on the tale that was woven between missions, but there are so many moments in this campaign that really stood out to me, and taught me the value of learning from failure. I think this game cemented strategy games as a new genre for me to explore.

It's the best strategy game ever for me. My Steam hours are around 1200 hours for this version. I've been playing this game since its first release. I was not using Steam then. I've played with other accounts and non-Steam relic account many times. I have played a total of at least 5000 hours. Still no fun any games. Unfortunately, there is a disappointment like the 2nd game. I played it for 5000 hours only for 500 hours. You consider the rest. If you haven't bought it yet and you are going to meet for the first time, unfortunately, I say you are looking at a masterpiece whose place will never be filled, take it without thinking! Have fun.
