Total War: Warhammer Reviews
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.
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.
Total War: Warhammer provides a fresh take on two of the most compelling strategy and tactical franchises in history, creating an excellent mash-up that's well worth your time.
Total War: Warhammer is, simply, the best Warhammer game ever developed.
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.
It's been said: if you love Warhammer, you'll love this game. The attention to lore and detail is simply too fantastic to not admire. If you have any attachment to either franchise or even the RTS genre in general, this is definitely worth the buy.
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
This is Warhammer, and the marriage between its lore and ideas, with the gameplay of Total War makes for what could honestly be one of the best entries in the entire franchise.
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.
Ditching history has set this series free.
Warhammer is an excellent turn-based strategy that takes the best of Total War and Warhammer, and melds them together wonderfully.
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 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.
If you are a Total War fan or if you love strategy games, I can wholeheartedly recommend to give it a try, even if the shift away from a historical setting might make some frown. The gameplay, the flavor and charm of the setting, and the depth of options are definitely worth the effort to move a bit outside of the history comfort zone. On the other hand, if you are a Warhammer fan, I guess you don't really don't need my recommendation, you're most probably already playing it and enjoying the hell out of it.
Total Warhammer doesn't tamper with much, but it injects enough personality to revive a series that's been steadily collapsing under its own weight.
Total War: Warhammer is a lot of fun, but keeps the complexity that can make Total War titles intimidating for new players.
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!
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.
Total War: Warhammer is the most interesting, most polished, and most enjoyable Total War game to date. Depending on which camp you come from you may have a slight learning curve, but its definitely worth it as this game has plenty to sink your teeth into if you're a fan of strategy, high-fantasy, or both.
