Total War: Warhammer II Reviews
In short, Total War: Warhammer II offers plenty of content for fans of strategy games, Warhammer and Total Warhammer fans, and new starters to the genre. It is easily one of the genre's finest, standing alongside X-Com 2 as one of the best PC games of the last few years.
Regardless of how its future looks, today we get to enjoy Total War Warhammer 2. With all its polish and rich Games Workshop lore, it's the most well balanced and enjoyable Total War game so far, and that's a strong accolade.
Being, in fact, a simple expansion, Total War: Warhammer II also acts great as a standalone game with its four new different races and beautiful lands, while constant race for getting the Vortex keeps you up all the time.

Honestly, this review could go on a lot more, but so much of it is attention to details and improvements on the prior title that it would miss the point. That point being that Total War: Warhammer II is a game where you can have a T-Rex throw down with a Wizard. There are great strategy elements, the new vortex victory is a great refresher from normal conquest types, and the new races are all great; but reading this review means missing out on the dino action. Still reading?
While retaining its amazing presentation, Total War: Warhammer II sets itself apart from its predecessor with unique mechanics and even more unique factions. A sequel worth having.

My complaints are fairly minor, especially when compared to the vast amount of fun I had with Warhammer: Total War 2.
Regardless, in the end, Total War: Warhammer II is a fantastic “Upgrade” to its predecessor and a great addition to the Total War series.
All in all though, Total War: Warhammer 2 is a solid continuation on the foundations set by it’s predecessor. I don’t feel it’s enough of a technical improvement to justify the numerical release, as many of the quality of life advances could, and perhaps should have been released as a patch for the original, but it is a solid improvement on the formula none-the-less.
Total War: Warhammer 2 is still the best massive scale strategy. Creative Assembly haven't left anything up to chance and once again brought us a great mix of a turn-based strategy and real-time tactical fighting.

We are facing a new path taken by The Creative Assembly: the detachment from the other chapters of Total War is increasingly evident, adding brio and innovation to games that left little room for storytelling. The footage is beautiful and contextualized, the longtime players of Warhammer Fantasy can not miss this piece of the saga. We're unlikely to see the whole story treated so well and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The pairing of Warhammer and Total War continues to be a refreshing and on-point marriage of both franchises
Total War: Warhammer 2 manages to iron out almost all the rough edges from its predecessor while throwing in enough quality new content to keep things fresh and challenging. The result is a journey into the Warhammer fantasy universe that's both engaging and infinitely fun to play.
Overall, Total War: Warhammer II is an exciting edition to the Total War series, and the Warhammer characters certainly add a lot of personality. They're the sort of characters who generate more interest in the narrative and make you more interested in pursuing the rest of the story.
Total War: Warhammer 2's inability to solve some longstanding franchise-wide issues don't really dampen the sense that this is the biggest, and one of the best, executions on the same formula. Adding that this is only the second game in a planned trilogy ends up only making me more excited to see what's in store for Total War: Warhammer 3.
The areas in which Total War: Warhammer 2 improves on its formula are plentiful, resulting in one best put together Total War games to be released. While the fantastical Warhammer setting won't appeal to some, particularly a few of those who've enjoyed Total War's previous historical releases and were expecting more, it's wonderful to see the wonderful world of Warhammer come to love so expertly and vividly. If you've played and enjoyed Total War: Warhammer 1, then it's a near given that you'll love what's on offer here.
Total War: Warhammer II is a really well made sequel. It improves lots of tiny gameplay elements and, as a result, there is more fun to be had and you can really feel the strategic & tactical elements. Great map, cool world and quite a complex storyline make you forget about some inevitable simplifications.

A beautiful sequel to an already great franchise innovates in some key ways without changing the game's look and feel too much. There is a lot of content here with the large campaign map and all the different factions vying for control over the New World. The real-time battles are as fun to watch and play as always, and the differences between races force you to approach every campaign differently, to great success.
