In short, this is like a bad attempt at a HW remake; yet another tale, or how someone felt they could do better, than what made the series great.

Overall, the game gave me 8 hours of pushing me through tiny maps, as fast as possible, to reach the end, with zero choice. The mission zones are so tiny, there's no exploring, and enemies are thrown at you, and quickly dispatched, before the game quickly takes over and sends you on your way, without time to gather resources (not that you will need them).
The short duration of each mission, is made frustrating, with bad AI navigation, and an over abundance of cutscenws, or lost camera control, where the game wants to ruin every surprise.

HW3 was reduced to a character drama, between 4 characters. Lost is the epic scale and tale of civilisations, and gone are the great traditional cutscenes, which show this scale, for more standard 3D cutscenes.

This game should have been called HW: Wargames, as that is the primary focus here, not the story. They wished to sell you some multiplayer modes, with 12 months of DLC, and not the great single-player experience we're used to seeing from the series. I do not recommend this game to anyone that appreciates the series, as this game is not salvageable.
