To have a good time Company Of Heroes 2‘s fifth birthday (its fifth birthday… six months ago?), Sega are giving Relic’s World War 2 real-time technique sequel away without cost on Steam. Grab it by Monday and it’s yours for keepsies. They did the identical with its fourth birthday final yr but it surely’s nonetheless good for individuals who didn’t know CoH final yr, or didn’t understand it nicely sufficient to be invited to its party, leaving them in an ungainly place when their buddies begin speaking about antics from the social gathering then go quiet after they keep in mind you weren’t invited. “It’s fine,” you mentioned, “I don’t know them that well.” This yr you do, my pal. This yr you do. Get in.
Swing on over to Steam, click on that “Install Game” button, and also you’ll be taken to a web page saying it’s now registered to your account. You don’t even want to put in proper then, so long as it says you’ve obtained it. You have till 6pm (10am Pacific) on Monday to nab this.
It’s a pleasant little freebie. Our former Adam (RPS in peace) mentioned in his Company Of Heroes 2 singleplayer review:
“I suspect some will be dismayed by how similar the game is to the original and it’s fair to say that it doesn’t feel as fresh or vital. Company of Heroes hasn’t been reduced by the passage of time though, continuing to stand out in its wartorn corner of the strategy square dance. The new engine is spectacular but the visual splendour does threaten to overwhelm the meat of the game, particularly in the campaign’s more explosive moments. Scrape all of the snow and smoke away, however, and something would be lost because the technology does add to the decision-making in more subtle ways than might be imagined. Company of Heroes 2 is a deceptively noisy and violent game that is actually designed for those with slow hands, quick wits and flexible thought processes.”
It has multiplayer too, in fact.
The game’s expansions and DLC have 75% reductions on Steam proper now as nicely, when you like what you play and wish extra.
