  Total War: Warhammer should be given credit for breathing new life into the Total War franchise, a task it primarily accomplishes with distinct factions and a fun battle system. I have a feeling Total War veterans will get a lot more out of this game than newcomers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing – indeed, it may seem like quite an obvious statement.

  Our continued excitement can be sustained as more DLC will roll out and we can happily gobble it all up, to continue adding new races and tactical dimensions. Total War Warhammer is the best of its genre, but it still has room to keep getting even better.

  As a whole, Total War: Warhammer is a release that does exactly what it sets out to do: create a fantasy Total War title. While the fantasy geek in me would be far more inclined to a Warcraft or Lord of the Rings variation, the Warhammer brand is still quite fun to play around in. Overall, it’s a well-thought-out iteration of the Total War franchise, and it’s an obvious choice for those who enjoy either the Total War or Warhammer brands.

  The sweeping scale of Warhammer is a perfect fit for this franchise, and it poses as a breath of fresh air for a series that was getting a little bit stagnant. Tactical gameplay with the hilariously grimdark setting of Games Workshops tabletop game makes for one hell of a combination, but it leaves me with only one real complaint: What took you so long, Creative Assembly? This is a match made in heaven.

  Developing this project must have been a massive undertaking, because it somehow manages to not sacrifice the core tenets of the series while staying true to the ever-expanding source material of the Warhammer universe. After nearly two decades of historical battles, having the chance to command a magical undead army is a breath of fresh air.

  9.0

  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.
