  Total War: Warhammer 2 lets you enjoy the world of Warhammer without having to buy a bunch of miniatures, and gives the Total War campaigns the story and structure they were always crying out for. So rally your soldiers and mount your horse/pegasi/terradon/nightmare! Total War: Warhammer 2 is a treasure worth marching across even the most chaos-blighted, skaven-infested, necromantically-corrupted lands to find.

  A beautiful sequel to an already great franchise innovates in some key ways without changing the game's look and feel too much. There is a lot of content here with the large campaign map and all the different factions vying for control over the New World. The real-time battles are as fun to watch and play as always, and the differences between races force you to approach every campaign differently, to great success.

  As there are no games that compete in the same space as Total War, they themselves are setting the benchmark by which we compare each release. But will the series continue to make significant steps forward or are we now at the point where it can only be polished? The mighty Assassin’s Creed tried that and eventually we tired of the annual releases. Let’s hope Creative Assembly can keep pushing the series forward with innovative ideas.

  If you’re not in the mood for the campaign, preloaded quest battles are also available, complete with full rosters of ready-to-go units. These are a great way to get a taste for the feel of battle before setting off into the investment of campaign, and they let you play around with each race’s key units. Warhammer’s long legacy in gaming has found a perfect partner in Total War. If you’re a fan of strategy games, chaotic rat-men, or rampaging dinosaurs, this isn’t one to miss.

  While there aren't many factions and some of the Total War complexity can be vexing, as a whole, this is among the best versions of Warhammer to hit the PC yet.

  With Warhammer II, Total War doesn't reinvent anything so much as it iterates on the ideas that made the first so special. At its heart there's still the marriage of Total War's big-scale strategy and Warhammer's precise tactical play. But, through a thousand tiny tweaks, they've refined the experience into one of the most intriguing and exciting strategy games ever.
