Steel Division 2 review

Steel Division 2 is the tactical strategy pick for World War II fans. Eugen Systems sets it on the Eastern Front in 1944 during Operation Bagration and puts you in charge of an entire army. The Dynamic Strategic Campaigns are turn-based and 1:1 scale, with maps up to 150x100 km where you move battalions and manage supply, then fight each engagement in real time or autoresolve it. The tactical battles field more than 600 units, including the T-34 and the IL-2, across 25 maps, and a deck building system lets you assemble divisions. Solo, multiplayer and co-op are supported, and the game runs on 4 GB of RAM. English reviews are Mostly Positive at 79% of 4,326. The limits: the setting is narrow, the Metascore of 73 is the lowest here, and its player base is smaller than the bigger names on this list.
