Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay wise it's been a long time since i've watched strategy battles with death animations (not since Dawn of war series), which really makes the fighting seem real and i was stunned to see how the AI actually followed through seemlessly with all those complex animations and collisions.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story campaigns are certainly entertaining and provide enough content to play for about 25 hours.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If however you are a sucker for tactical games (Dawn of War 2, Men of War, Mech Commander, Total War (the combat part), to name a few), then this game does quite a lot right.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics wise this game is a beauty, my laptop can't handle it on top performance and it still looks amazing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's one of these times where I would consider buying the soundtrack even without the game, just because it's THAT good and atmospheric.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Worth it for the campaign experiences and one for the shelf for a co-op friend versus AI from time to time.
