    If you want to play as elves or skaven, and you don't pay too much attention to lore etc. this is a very good title. Unfortunately, like all Total War games, he suffers from some ills, adding his own. In its current state, with all (except the last) DLC and FLC, it provides fun for tens of hours. The following rating is based on the complete title with all available content:

    - Lords are not as interesting or even playable
    - Mortal Empire campaign is not a "linked map", to fit the map from one, large areas of the map have been cut out of two (in the south and west)
    - The game has an undead pirate faction, but still no naval battles
    - Some campaigns are stupid to win conditions or require defeating factions on the other side of the map
    - Buggy achievements

    Constant updates and free downloadable content, as well as respect towards the community and costumers that CA has, makes this just a wonderfull game for anyone that loves fantasy.

    Great visuals, great music, great voice acting. Plus, you can watch a dragon fight a T-rex, while a wizard is summoning a rain of fire on top of orcs, and a gigantic crab is eating a human alive on the same battlefield. Just buy it already.    … Expand

There's easily hundreds of hours of fun packed into here, with lots of free DLCs. Highly recommend.… Expand

    I'm I the exact target audience for this game? Yes
    Is this a perfect game ? Absolutely no
    Did i spent more than 2000 hours finishing almost every campaign? Of course I did

    If you liked Warhammer Fantasy Battle this is a dream come true.
    If you just like strategy games this is probably the best chapter in the Total War series

    Not only the most fun Total War game ever, but also THE most fun game ever. The mechanics are all wonderfully implemented, the soundtrack be banger yo, the visuals are stunning, the voice actors went all out, and of course the gameplay is unrivaled.

    Excellent design, spectacular battles, warhammer fantasy setting, but monotonous tactical battles, a sea of add-ons at an unjustified price, scarcity of animations make the game perfect for fans of this setting. As the total var game is average, it is a pity that it will continue to be so in the third part and in historical games.

    Very weak optimization. Intel cpu based game only. A shame. A game of 2017, running poorly on a 2020 pc. Absolutely shameful.

    Successful and good game. I've played over 100 hours but it has a depth of content that feels like I could play forever. Only problems with the game are the extremely long loading screens and optimization issues. Despite being an old game, PC performance is not as good as it should be.

    It's one of the good total war series game but absolutely not the best.

    Apparently, they have hidden a series of deficiencies behind the theme of the game.
    I think the research tree was acceptable and also diplomacy is good although it could have been have some more options in diplomacy but it's acceptable.
    I really didn't liked agents and their abilities.
    About battles the first thing I should say is about enemy, AI stupidity and bugs are much less.
    But I think Warhammer 2 has the most untacticable battles. I can almost say when you are weaker you should lose and it' so hard to change it.
    Even There is no units formation option in battle and it's really bad.
    The maximum number of armies is not based on the number of settlements and I like the new mechanism. But there is a problem here. When you take most of the settlements of a big and powerful Faction and only one or two settlements remain, now since the decrease in the number of their settlements does not decrease the number of Armies, you have to defeat a large number of Armies gathered in one Province.
    And about factions designs, the game has many different races and every race has its own faction and unit design and this vast design is really impressive. Just I think some faction's units are unbalanced and maybe it would be better if it wasn't like that.
    Also soundtrack is good but not as much as old total war games.
    In the end I should say that, I really liked Warhammer 2 and I played it for many hours it's a real good game but if there were more details that I talked about, it could have been a great game for me.    … Expand

    Incredible faction variety and presentation. Hundreds or thousands of hours worth of replayability. Held back by bugs, and some factions being obviously outdated or insufficient compared to newer ones. Amazing DLC scheme is worth mentioning, only buy what you want to play because all DLC units are in the game to play against regardless of ownership.

    Beautiful, huge, complex, superb grand strategy game with the awesome option to implement the map and factions of the previous game... In the other hand it includes less faction than previous game with worse DLC politic and appears to be only a remake of WTW1

    In short, Total War: Warhammer II offers plenty of content for fans of strategy games, Warhammer and Total Warhammer fans, and new starters to the genre. It is easily one of the genre's finest, standing alongside X-Com 2 as one of the best PC games of the last few years.

    An innovative, original structure built on the solid foundations of the first game has exceedingly succeeded. Who was afraid that at second Warhammer developers will lose their breath, was terribly mistaken. [Issue#279]

    As weird as some the diplomacy and other mechanics can be, it’s an impressive title with a ton of depth to get stuck into. Now, I’d better get back to my current mission in progress — those enemy armies won’t eat themselves, after all.
