What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Actually I started off with The Second Front campaign which is a touch more accessible for newbies and then switched to Victory in the West once I was comfortable – again that helped with the learning curve.
At the start I was looking for that sugar hit of a clean interface with graphics that are easy on the eye, and it does deliver here.
What makes UOC1 and UOC2 masterpieces, in my opinion, is their ability through relatively streamlined and simplified gameplay to reflect the challenges faced by commanders on the operational level in the second world war (in the German army in particular).
I should mention the sound design as well - the soundtrack by Bruno Brabić is one the best in the genre and leagues ahead of contemporaries like Panzer Corps 2 and Steel Division 2.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
