Pros:
+ Brilliant gameplay
+ Amazing graphics
+ Classes feel different
+ All boils down to skill
+ Scratches my itch for epic medieval duels

Cons:
- Connection is spotty (sometimes, overly exaggerated in other reviews IMO)
*EDIT* As of 2018 servers have become dedicated and I have never experienced disconnects that didn't seem to be at fault on my side.

Mixed
- Despite name, lack of honor in most of the playerbase. That's okay though, my poleaxe will remove their heads. Deus Vult.

Fun World War II RTS game, only recommended for the multiplayer. Company of Heroes 2 shines with the overall gameplay and strategic possibilities, but is held back by a lackluster singleplayer campaign and microtransactions. The base commanders get the job done but to have a more versitile army the shop commanders are needed. Although the shop commanders are strong I do not consider this to be a pay2win game, base units and commanders can still provide a viable and enjoyable experience. I suggest buying this game during a sale and getting the bundle which includes the Western Front Armies and the British Forces. Full price is likely not worth the $$$.

Pros
+ High skillcap gameplay with lots of micro-management
+ Immersive WWII commander feeling
+ Great multiplayer experience
+ Variety of armies that play and feel very different, Allies and Axis have different playstyles

Cons
- Stale singeplayer storyline
- Some balance issues
- LOTS of microtransactions (not required but many of the better commanders are from the shop)
