Total War: Warhammer III is the best Total War has ever been, period. The sheer scale of it all is truly awe inspiring, which makes the attention every little detail receives all the more astounding.

9/10

Total War: Warhammer provides a fresh take on two of the most compelling strategy and tactical franchises in history, creating an excellent mash-up that's well worth your time.

Total War: Warhammer is the most interesting, most polished, and most enjoyable Total War game to date. Depending on which camp you come from you may have a slight learning curve, but its definitely worth it as this game has plenty to sink your teeth into if you're a fan of strategy, high-fantasy, or both.

Gone are the days of throwing historical factions at one another. No longer will I be pitting Samurai against one another. No longer will I be sending my Spartans to push back the encroaching Egyptian forces. Instead, I now pit humankind as a whole against the gnashing, “WAAAAGH”-ing hordes of greenskins (Orcs, for those not acquainted with Warhammer) entering my lands, while brokering trade agree...

9/10

Overall, Total War: Warhammer is both a fantastic addition to the Total War series, and to Warhammer in video games as a whole. A must for strategy fans, the title delivers a stunning high fantasy setting alongside thrilling large-scale battles and complex yet enjoyable empire building. Near-perfect, the game is most likely the best Warhammer video game to date, and one could even argue that it is...

Warhammer’s fantasy elements add colour to Total War’s already impressive framework, with a strategy game that is both deep and tactical but also fun and attractive.

It’s been said: if you love Warhammer, you’ll love this game. The attention to lore and detail is simply too fantastic to not admire. If you have any attachment to either franchise or even the RTS genre in general, this is definitely worth the buy.

9/10

Total War has been striving to capture this feeling of Epic iteration after iteration and looking to a historical context for inspiration. But it's the realm of fantasy, the Warhammer universe and its wonderful storytelling, where I think the formula has found its true home. This is probably the best Total War game to date, and certainly the best Warhammer game. Put together the two make wonderful...

9/10

Until now Total War has always been a franchise directly focused on reality and history. From early Greek times, to the more modern colonial America, you always knew what to expect. Thousands of troops littered historical battlefields, your tactics were always based on something you could happily read in a history book, recreating feats from the greatest generals. Here, with Total War: Warhammer, ...

8.6/10

Total War: Warhammer is brimming with exciting ideas, interesting characters, and outright, skull-stompingly delightful units and faction mechanics. The current roster of starting positions in the campaign feels thin, but each army therein is a distinctly different experience. Some factions (Vampire Counts, Greenskins) are more fun than others (Dwarfs), but none feel underdeveloped or unfinished. ...
