WORLD WAR II still looms large more than 80 years after it all began—from school history lessons to cinematic epics. Even when we’re looking for some video game escapism, it’s there, making us replay the Normandy landings or the Battle of Stalingrad, deafening us with a cacophony of artillery and exploding tanks.
For Company of Heroes 3, developer Relic has taken us further south to the vineyards of Italy and the north African desert. And a lot has changed since the previous games, with the studio’s ambition and desire for experimentation growing. This is something new, but it’s not the novelties that impress the most.
