Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Reviews
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is a very worthy adaptation of this universe for games, even if it gets lost in the interface for the DualSense. The linearity and restrained scope of the adventure may bother those expecting an RTS of large proportions. But with anticipation in place, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm of Ruin has great ideas. It simply fumbles in the execution. While free from any bugs (at least in my time with the game) or major unforgivable flaws, it simply fails to hold your attention, offering the idea of cool mechanics without ever really delivering.
As I write this review a couple of weeks after Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm of Ruin's launch I can't help but feel sad. It's a very good game despite its issues and an incredibly strong first RTS from a studio known for their management sims. A sequel that addresses its handful of shortcomings could absolutely be top-tier. Depressingly the writing already appears to be on the wall however, with the studio already announcing that they're returning to the genre that made them famous after the game's launch sales were so poor it tanked their stock price. Oh well.
Age of Sigmar: Realms of ruin is presented for multiple players: those fans who end up attracted by the story and its world, those who want to enjoy the tactical combat and those who will use this as an entry into the saga. With its own style, this real-time strategy game shows decent gameplay, having a lot of good ideas, but they are weighed down by some decisions. Of course, the story is solid and fun, offering between twelve and fifteen hours of games (depending on skill). The variety of situations will challenge the player who, after learning the controls, will be able to face the different modes, Conquest being one of the most complicated if you do not choose the level well. The creative aspect ends up being magnificent, due to the amount of possibilities in terms of scenario design and army configuration. It is not a perfect game, but fans will enjoy seeing their figures in motion, while tactics lovers will test their skills.

Despite some gameplay issues that hold the game back from greatness, it is the evident love and care that has been poured into Realms of Ruin that carries the game high up the list of the best Warhammer games. While it probably won't win over hardcore strategy fans, the Warhammer community will feel right at home in the wastes of Ghur.
