Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

Our analysis

It returns base building and tells a strong campaign that rotates you through Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar over a shared story, looking gorgeous along the way. But it borrows the wrong elements: combat demands constant micromanagement of ability-driven units, good units are locked behind an in-game grind, and multiplayer offers only one MOBA-style mode across too few maps with a poor cover system. Not a bad game, just frustrating and a missed opportunity, earning a thumbs down.
