[H3]Oh, Company of Heroes… the game where you think, “Yeah, I’m a strategic genius!” — and five minutes later your soldiers are running around the map like they’re being paid in chaos. The graphics are gorgeous. Ruined buildings, explosions, smoke… mmm, so pretty you could hang a screenshot on your wall. Meanwhile, your tank has turned into a crispy heap of metal, and your soldiers… well, they’re on permanent vacation, apparently. Units behave perfectly… if your goal is to watch your master plan implode. You set up strategies, position your troops carefully, and they’re like, “Nah, let’s go look at some butterflies instead.” Thanks, guys. Really helpful. The sound design is amazing, too. Every shot, every explosion is just there to remind you: all your careful planning is a joke. The game practically whispers, “Ready to lose again?” Multiplayer? Oh yeah, there you sit, staring at the enemy and thinking, “What is he even doing?” — and then boom,...

I am a 51 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2016 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 30 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he friended and invited me to join him. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it...
