Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dawn of War 3 offers an interesting campaign and introduces the ability to play as multiple factions throughout the story, rather than sticking with the same Blood Ravens narrative.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics-wise (not the artstyle), much better than the all DoW games since this is the most modern one so the team learned a lot and was able to design a lot more elements into the game.
