Can I Run Company of Heroes 2?
Released in 2013, Company of Heroes 2 is a strategy game built by Relic Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. It is localised into 8 languages according to the store listing. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. Completionists have 452 achievements to work through. Critics scored it 80 on Metacritic. Cloud saves are enabled. With more than 68 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.
