Trioclock

This feels like a huge missed opprtunity. The gameplay itself is actually quite good. But the career mode is really barebones and similar to something you would encounter in a sports game from the 00s. It dosent have any of the depth, immersion or narrative AAA sports games like NBA 2K, F1, FIFA, MLB the show etc has had for a while now. Its instead grindy with arbitrary and gamey mini-games and features such as fatigue. Add to that its lack of players and always online requirements even for single player career mode. Hopefully some of these things can be improved since the core gameplay is solid, but in its current state its hard to recommend, especially at asking price.

As a longtime CoH fan I'm very disappointed by CoH3. The single player campaigns are so buggy and unfinished its barely functional, and definitely not worth the asking price. The much touted Italian campaign sounded great in theory but is abysmally implemented, like a bad Total War parody. Even where the game does impress its essentially CoH 2 with slightly improved graphics. There are shockingly few new ideas on display given that its been a decade since the last game. I would highly recommend waiting for a sale to pick this up, at which time hopefully most bugs will have been fixed.
