    Another great total war game and a satisfying ending to the Warhammer trilogy.

    Look if you loved TW:WH2 then you should already get this. There are, however, some issues that need to be noted. Firstly, Siege battles are better and worse in this one. Minor settlements are 1000% better and are fun to play. WALLED seige battles however are not. If you play online against another player then Walled maps might be tolerable but even still design wise they have a few flaws.Look if you loved TW:WH2 then you should already get this. There are, however, some issues that need to be noted. Firstly, Siege battles are better and worse in this one. Minor settlements are 1000% better and are fun to play. WALLED seige battles however are not. If you play online against another player then Walled maps might be tolerable but even still design wise they have a few flaws. When you add in CA's famously bad AI then you have a recipe for disaster. The AI for walled maps are hilariously bad and remind me of Rome 2. Yeah that bad. Don't get me wrong the AI seems to work everywhere else it just turns -1000 IQ for these battles. The other are bugs. Yes yes What's a Total War launch without it's share of bugs. However I believe the big onesshould be ironed out within a month. So if buggy launchs scare you away just keep your ear to the ground and buy it once it's clean. It's still playable now and I have yet to come across major game breaking bugs that other people have said existed but your milage may vary. The minor gripes are that the human/ordertide factions feel a bit undercooked mechanics wise. Kislev feels meh and Cathey is the better of the two but doesn't feel complete or unique from eachother. The "secret" unlockables of *spoiler* are a HUUUUGE let down. If you know you know.

    But everything else ****ing rocks. The Chaos factions are badass. Khorn, Nurgle, Slannesh, and he who I can't spell right all look and feel right. Nurgle mechanically wise feels the weirdest slowest but it fits him well even if it can be annoying. Khorn is straightforward but fun as hell. Slannesh is probably the most meh of the 4 but works well and is likely the faction for people who prefer the campaign map side than the actual battles. **** **** it he is the funnest and funniest with his changer of ways mechanic. The maps for campaign and battles LOOK and SOUND amazing. 11/10 for presentation easily. Battles are more fun than ever and the new units themselves for all factions look amazing. In short there are 2 or 3 minor issues that do balloon into MASSIVE problems in seige battles and bugs. But everything else **** rules. And when we get Immortal Empires map this game will be a must buy even if seige battles suck.    … Expand

    The UI is pretty awful and the graphics are terrible, like blurry and glitchy at once. Noticeable pop-in and other issues.

    I could look past that, but the changes they made to the settlement battles are somehow worse than before. Huge maps that are a slog to get through with pathing issues causes your units to blob up.

But optimization really sucks, I was waiting for 15 minutes before start, my friend was waiting for 30 minutes. And one more thing, if you don't now what to do get free version or pay full price for Ogre Kingdoms - don't pay! You can take free code until 24.02.2022.

    Total War: Warhammer 3 is an epic successor to the previous title, refining gameplay in many aspects like siege battles and soon to have the biggest map any total war game has ever had.

    Probably the best strategy game ever made.

    For each improvement, there's something fixed by game 2 that is somehow unfixed again. It joins a lack of optimisation, thread-bare factions and a bizarrely discordant campaign to give the game its sense of being slopped together carelessly. Apart from that, it's more of the same. That'll make the addicts happy enough, but it's unlikely to wow the rest as much as TW:WII did once upon aFor each improvement, there's something fixed by game 2 that is somehow unfixed again.

Siege battles in particular are much much better this time around.

    Basically TWW2 had problems with magic since none of the other total war games have magic as a system - their usual "walled settlement" system just made it so you could use spellcasters to win the sieges by themselves after 2 or 3 catapults destroyed enemy towers.
    They made it so that the towers can be rebuilt if you take too long (which was the case for spamming spells since you had to wait for cooldowns) which fixes A LOT of exploits that were previously possible but the varied new maps offer a great variety of REAL strategical options and it plays MUCH better.

    Factions have more interesting campaign mechanics, marginally improved diplomacy and the chaos realms are all really cool tho i can see the final fight in the chaos realms get a bit annoying eventually since it takes like 30 minutes - luckily those are surprisingly easy to autoresolve if you really dont want to bother.

    Great job on all of that!

    Issues are relatively poor perfomance which was confirmed by PCInvasion to be denuvo related (since the press version ran much better and didnt have it). The snow effect in particular absolutely destroys my performance. Worse faction and unit variety compared to warhammer 2 (this will inevitably get fixed with mortal empires and DLC).

    It also might be interesting to mention that the "recommended first campaigns" are both unreasonably hard due to horrendous starter locations (especially the chaos undivided one - jesus christ - 3 20 stacks coming my way on turn 3)

    Overall a MUCH better experience than the previous TW Warhammer titles.    … Expand

Just an awful selection and until the big map comes out and I have a choice of other factions (something other than a pseudo-empire and Chinese themed faction, I mean I wonder what market they were trying to win over there?) I will not be playing this game. So my scoring is entirely based on the fact that this company could care less what their fanbase wanted, and instead created something that cost them the least amount of money to develop.… Expand

    Simply the best TTW experience when added to the previous two titles to complete the game as far as I am concerned. Immortal Empires is a massively impressive gaming experience in the Warhammer universe. Once you add in some mods from the Steam workshop, one can simply get lost in the game, especially if you have a high-end PC and Odyssey Neo monitors for an astonishingly immersive experience.

    I have played TW games since the original ROME, so when I say this a 6, that's comparing to a bloody strong franchise history, I have played over 30 hours, in that time I got to turn 160 of Kislev on hard difficulty. Its insane and totally unbalanced, I had 30 chaos armies surrounding me, I have 2 armies and that’s all I can afford.
    Technical issues - I have a top end gaming PC and even CPU/gpu struggled, so as with most new games there are optimizations needed and CA are decent at sorting those. The graphics however, its obvious this is a reskin of 3 kingdoms (a game I utterly hate), everything on campaign map looks grainy same issue with 3k. I thought it was me but then I compared it to WH2 - its NOT even close to WH2 quality, this must be addressed.
    Campaign is unbalanced and AI spam is just tedious, battles there is nothing new at all, even managed to destroy a 20 stack slannesh army in 2minutes, really what is the point in having great graphics/unit textures if AI just rushes you.
    AI - Yes CA after 10 years of warscape it is still a brain dead on arrival Battle AI. As for siege fix/improvement, well you just copy/pasted the terrible 3K siege maps straight in to WH3, please just go back to WH2 sieges and make slightly bigger settlements, modders can do it why can't you??
    Overall and I'm sure there are several other issues but I can't be bothered (yes that’s how the game makes me feel right now) its average, not a great launch, bit similar to Rome2 launch in my view.
    Not sure why this got such high critics review - they obviously spent their 15 mins review time smiling at the cute Nurglings! This is a personal review and I hope to come back in time and re-write it.

    I made the jump from Total War Warhammer 2 to 3 more out of curiosity than necessity. 2 is a very fine game I have sunk over a hundred hours in, and wasn’t really looking for change. But, when Immortal Empires was released I thought it was time to start the Wood Elves playthrough I always wanted to do and the new hotness was too hard to resist.

    And now I can never go back.

    It’s not just the gigantic new map with the eight new and all the old factions to fight. It’s definitely not the campaign I haven’t even started yet and that I hear so much bad things about. It’s all the little and not so little gameplay improvements that were added, all of them belonging to the category “I didn’t know I needed this, but now I can never give it up”.

    The reworked diplomacy system finally clearly communicates why certain offers are always going to be denied. The ally system allows for an even greater variety in army composition without changing the character of the faction armies too much. The millions of little changes to the battle systems make it so much easier to navigate the great battles and pull off some really stunning reversals at times. The late game crisis events that have the potential to shake up the end game grind. And, yes, the metric tons of new content helps a lot, too.

    Meanwhile the core gameplay loop is the same addictive power fantasy it always was. The production values are as atmospheric as before. Hopefully the commitment to the game by the studio will be as exemplary as it has been in the past, too. With one very substantial DLC pack already out, it sure looks that way.

    Great game overall, lots of improvements over previous entries. The campaign is very narrative based and not a good sandbox experience, but personally I like that. Looking forward to what's coming next

    The launch was terrible with a campaign that was only fun for 1 playthrough and very repetitive afterwards and a lot of bugs, crashes and performance issues. Now, with finally getting Immortal Empires the campaign problems are fixed and the game at least is playable for more than 1 playthrough again and running pretty smooth.

    Any reviewsfrom before now are pretty valid. Loke previous war hammers the game was buggy and some changes to the estetic arent perfect BUT mod community allows for prefe free preference changing and the company has killed it in adding/fixibg/altering the game.

    Great game unfortunately being review bombed by nerds. It's a fantastic achievement, especially the Immortal Empires campaign!

    Highly recommended!

    On the start game was not really finished, and campaign is boring, but Immortal Empires campaign is great. Still need some work, and many races need updates, but now game is great

    I love Warhammer and Total War, so I invested a lot of time in the hope of what was to come. What was to come has not come, and is not coming. Here are the main issues why I do not like this game, and would recommend Warhammer 2 over it:

    - Sieges: I don't know how they did it, but they made the worst sieges I have witnessed in the Total War franchise.

    - Sieges: I don't know how they did it, but they made the worst sieges I have witnessed in the Total War franchise. They have no plans to fix this, and in a war game, this is a critical mistake.

    - Balancing: Chaos rules all in this game. Human factions are weak and in dire need of updates to make them even playable.

    - Networking: Loads of crashes and glitches while playing online, leading to lots of restarting and lost save files.

    - DLC pricing: It seems CA is giving less content for double the price, which really makes me worried as this game is supposed to be given content for 10 years. I'm not sure if I want to pay that money for such little content when the base game is so lacking already.

    All in all, I am pretty disappointed. I'll stick with Total War mods on the older games and Warhammer 2.    … Expand

    I support narrative campaigns but mixing narrative with sandbox was not a good idea to begin with. Publishers didn't care for the wishes of the fanbase. Domination mode is broken and disturbing. Siege maps are beautiful but real time supply system is the worst idea that was added in a TW game. As incompetent developers can make a working siege AI their solution was making OP towers toI support narrative campaigns but mixing narrative with sandbox was not a good idea to begin with.

As incompetent developers can make a working siege AI their solution was making OP towers to decrease ability of the player to strategize to the level of their AI. Races are interesting but focus of adding units via DLC make each race empty. Game is not optimized and has tons of bugs. CA had enough time to make this game perfect but insted focused on other games it seems.

    Edit: With shadows of change this turned into a money grab.    … Expand

    I fan of total war games, but that its that the worsts game on my experience from total war. You shout to spent too much money for open all race DLC in this game. Worst camping what I ever play. The worst game for what I ever pay in my life.

    Très bon jeu de stratégie avec des combats et un mode campagne bien réalisés. J'enlève -1 pour la note car il y avait d'énormes problèmes d'optimisation au début mais il n'y en a plus beaucoup malgré des latences et des pertes de connexion à certains moments notamment pour les campagnes en coop.

    Huge prices for DLC with no content, bugged since the premiere, optimization is poor (on the campaign map it takes up 9300MB of VRAM in 1080p), the AI is still weak and doesn't know what to do with itself on the campaign and battle maps, but threatening the community broke the camel's back. I'm not a deviant to get ****** for my own money.

    Plus d'an an d'existence et pourtant encore pas mal de bugs et d'équilibrages aux fraises et CA se permet malgré ça de proposer une augmentation de 150% du tarif DLC. À croire qu'ils veulent que les joueurs se contentent des mods, parfois plus généreux en contenu.

    Although the Immortal Empires format, which will combine all three games into one large map, was not yet available at the time of review, the world itself is large even in the individual parts. Its treatment and variety of climatic zones and chaotic crevasses deserve high praise, and the freedom of creative license has been used to the fullest by the authors at Creative Assembly in this regard as well.

    Selling Ogres as a separate Day-1 DLC is definitely an anti-consumer practice, AI would be best described as “braindead", and some mechanics only work because of duct-tape solutions like “background income”. Yet, CA has managed to capture that certain “je ne sais quoi” of Warhammer: every faction plays differently, but they all feel awesome. [Issue#259, p.42]

    If the "Total War" series had been a cow, PETA would have been at the door a long time ago. That's how milked she is. When you're not fighting, you're trying to build your empire. This part of the game combines both the best and worst of Total War: on the one hand, the factions you can play differ substantially and all offer a different experience; on the other, after a strong start, the campaign collapses like a pudding. You focus mainly on one powerful army, so the overall overview disappears somewhat from view. Too bad.
