Total War: WARHAMMER II

Never really even got to play the game. So many features are locked behind paywalls. Races and factions integral to the lore? Paywall. Mortal Empires campaign? Have to own the first game. It's so mind boggling what you do and don't need, it's not even worth it.

not bad XD

Game breaking bug makes the game unplayable. I played a marathon session on my weekend, I saved and quit at the end of the day... Imagine my frustration when I couldn't load the game. Turns out this is a known issue. I have tried multiple times and ways to fix it with no success. Of course I played more than two hours, so I couldn't return the broken game. Basically a scam.

I was a table top wargamer for a large part of my life painting up thousands of figurines. Today I can set up and play a battle using the WH series in a very small time frame. The resulting battles appear 'realistic' in terms of movement, battlefield control and tactics. The battlefields look realistic with the approach of enemy forces appearing in the distance spilling across the countryside. The campaign element is the strongest component of these games. The effect of terrain realistic and well imaged. The choice between symbolic and actual army movement very good, as are the many choices and outcomes in relation to towns and hamlets. The re-playability is sound, with lots of choice between different armies, regions and cultural strategies; and that is without the addition of a host of mods dowloadable from the steam workshop. Excellent games, hundreds of play hours ahead of me. If I live that long.

love the game, hate the staggering cost of the DLC

The GOAT yes, the DLC is overpriced but between myself and my brothers and steam share, we basically have them all at a reasonable price. outside of DLC, this game has endless hours of fun, strategy, planning, and epic battles. All races play different, even the different starting lords within each race are typically focused on different aspects and strategies within the same race. If you can find someone to do a co-op campaign with, it's even better than solo and probably my favorite gaming experience I've had thus far.

《战锤2》屏幕的巨龙、巨兽和法术对轰，战略感也直接爆炸。种族设计超级用心，高精、暗精、鼠人、蜥蜴人，每个派系玩法都天差地别，完全不担心换皮，百小时下去依然觉得新鲜。战役节奏很上头，前期扩张、中期破局、后期神仙打架，一回合接一回合根本停不下来，特别杀时间。 不过槽点也不少，DLC海量，全买钱包遭不住，而且后期自动战斗容易乏味，攻城战重复度偏高，AI有时候也挺蠢的。但凡世帝国大地图是真的良心，把两代内容拼在一起，可玩性翻倍。总的来说，如果你是奇幻策略迷，这游戏就是真香神作，缺点在优点面前不值一提，强烈推荐入坑——妥妥的时间消失器，肝就完了。
