Total War: Attila Reviews
By combining an improved UI with deeper strategic gameplay, Total War: Attila increments on Creative Assembly's formula to deliver a strategy game (almost) worthy of its namesake.
Total War: Attila is an adept refinement of Rome 2, with a great, harrowing campaign that sets it apart.
All things considered, this is a solid Total War game that, while being far from revolutionary and requiring just a little bit more polish before official release, will be far better than Total War Rome 2 can ever hope to be.
Creative Assembly's award-winning strategy now comes in a brand new flavor, and it bears all the hallmarks of a franchise rejuvenated.
Total War: Attila is an arranged marriage between a capable (and aging) battle simulator, and a fussy political one.
Attila is a satisfying simulation of a world in chaos
Perhaps it's best to think of it this way: If the occasional AI glitch or incoming onslaught of paid DLC gives you unbearable or unwanted flashbacks to Rome II, then you may want to avoid Attila altogether. But for everyone else, you'd be remiss to deprive yourself of a rich, captivating experience that, though not quite perfect now, will likely achieve true greatness via updates well before its successor arrives.
