Total War: Warhammer Reviews
Total War: Warhammer is the best Total War game in a long time. It harkens back to the Rome I and Medieval II type of Total War game, which have been considered some of be the best.
Total War: Warhammer is the game you've always wanted to happen. Well, celebrate, because now it finally has!
You'll want to play [all the races], and probably will. And for that reason alone Total War: Warhammer is a fantastic game, and one that no fan of either franchise should pass up.
Imagine the developers took down a can of paint labelled "WARHAMMER" and poured it on to the Total War franchise. That is exactly what this game is and that is why I love it.
Despite performance quibbles and a repetitive endgame for the campaign, Total War: Warhammer is an exciting strategy game that stands on its own. The four factions offer unique playstyles with compelling strategic options, and the hero units, fantastic creatures, and monstrous enemies make for spectacular battles that are almost as much fun to watch as they are to command.
Where other Total War games were a battle of who-cares-which-type-of-men versus another bunch of men, Total War Warhammer makes you want to see the fight unfold. To witness how the trolls spit acid at dwarves or undead crumble to dust as you charge them with your knights.
Creative Assembly has shown that they have great respect for the universe that Games Workshop has created and I can't wait to see what they do with the IP next. Who knows, maybe next time we'll get a Total War game set in the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium, where there is only war.
Where the previous Total War instalments have tried their best to faithfully recreate 15th century Japan or 200 BCE Rome, Warhammer's setting is a love letter to the devotees who painstakingly create miniature figures, infused into a game that combines high strategy and micro-management.
Total War: Warhammer is a polished entry that breaks away from traditional history with some good novelty value attached to its new setting, though excessive streamlining of the campaign and reduced battle scenarios notably detract from the experience.
Total War: Warhammer is a lovingly-crafted representation of the Warhammer world that is ripe for players to forge their stories in. It's a must-buy for every Warhammer fan and Total War aficionado and is potentially the best release from the studio since the original Rome: Total War.
Total War: Warhammer is the Total War’s great entrance to the fantasy settings. This game has very different races and each one of them offers you a huge amount of gameplay. Developers has greatly combined fantasy elements like magic and flying huge units into the standard usual Total War gameplay and we know have a full-fledged gameplay which is the result of more than 15 years making total war games. If you want to know how is a massive battle between Karl Franz army and an Undead army led by Mannfred von Carstein, then get this game.

Total War vets will be right at home here: most everything from battles to the campaign map, for better or worse, is going to give you that Total War déja vù
The Total War formula mostly acts as a functional framework on which to construct the violent, mystical world of Game Workshop's Warhammer. This is the most dramatic departure Creative Assembly has taken from their typical playbook with the series, and it needed to be; a game about a warring fantasy kingdom must feel different than one about the rise of the Roman empire. For the most part, it does.
As a Total War game, Total War: Warhammer comes off as being a bit confined in terms of bounds, yet varied within said bounds. Boasting a lot of options, it is a genuinely enjoyable experience as it does take advantage of its licence. As a Warhammer title, it is a solid and enjoyable experience even if it's quite clear a lot was filed off either to make it work as a game or for future DLC. As a whole? It's a good new direction for the series to head in, and, hopefully, will let it expand beyond the confines of history into new, fantastical realms.
Total War: Warhammer is, simply, the best Warhammer game ever developed.
As terrible as I am at Total War: Warhammer, I couldn't ask for a deeper, more robust Warhammer title. Prepare for some frustrations with such a complex campaign, but also prepare to lose hours of your life as you wonder, "But what if I handled that like this…" as you reload your last save for the umpteenth time.
I still feel as though I've only scratched the surface of this game, and when I've finished writing this, I'm going to go play more of it. Truly, Nurgle loves his children.
Total War: Warhammer vereint gekonnt den komplexen Taktik-Part der Total War Reihe mit der umfangreichen Fantasy Welt von Warhammer, liefert sich aber dann doch einige unangenehme Schnitzer in Sachen KI und Gameplay. Sowohl Total War als auch Warhammer Fans werden aber über die kleineren Fehler hinweg sehen können und auch für Neueinsteiger bietet der Titel doch einiges an Hilfen um in die beiden, doch sehr umfangreichen Welten einzutauchen.

After some mishaps in the past, Creative Assembly delivers one of the greatest Total War games ever. Its bold, its factions are unique and it’s a perfect fit for both Warhammer and strategy fans.

Total War: Warhammer just feels right in most every way, even if it can get slow or frustrating at times. Despite a few annoying caveats and some performance issues, most of the game's features are enjoyable, enticing and immersive.
