The editors didn't like
The RTS side of things is still bare-bones and sometimes broken
A bit less sandbox-y than previous Total Wars
Mediocre tutorial
Sometimes a slog
Occasionally uncooperative camera
A little too streamlined in the grand strategy aspect of the game
Warhammer
Total War does feel a little too shallow with it suffering from a low number of factions/starting positions and a shalllow economy
Could use a bit more of a tutorial for new Total War players
And some visual faction customization would be nice

Abstract: DSOriginally Warhammer involved hours of painting miniature warriors, writing army lists, a bag of dice and pitting your wits across an 8 ft by 4ft table covered in fake shrubbery.Now you simply boot up your PC and turn to Total War: Warhammer, which has...

Abstract: Warhammer is a range of tabletop strategy games; Total War is a series of historical battle simulations. Combining the two should have produced a black hole of nerdiness so unapproachable it would crush all mortals. Strangely, however, this is probably th...

Inspiring, urgent campaign with a satisfying end goal, Exhilarating battles on a massive sale, The Warhammer world brought to life with genuine devotion
Attritional battles against the same faction can get frustrating, Only four races in the standard game
Fantastic, deep strategy, Authentic recreation of Warhammer, Magic & special units
Very steep learning curve, Minor technical problems
As a piece of creative work, Total War: Warhammer is more than an ideal partnership between two iconic franchises. As well as nailing the look, feel and atmosphere of the Games Workshop universe, Creative Assembly has delivered a strategy game that will k...
Abstract: Total War: Warhammer is brimming with exciting ideas, interesting characters, and outright, skull-stompingly delightful units and faction mechanics. The current roster of starting positions in the campaign feels thin, but each army therein is a distinctly...
Unique and interesting factions, Well balanced gameplay, Interesting Game World, Heroes that also help in battles, Legendary Lord Quests
Oversimplification of economy, Short campaign victory conditions don't make for a short campaign, Allied AI can act dumb, Too few factions and Legendary Lords at launch
Total War Warhammer seems like a fine dish made of the best of the Total War franchise that skimps on the seasoning which would have made it truly brilliant.
Variety of the five factions, Ability to play battles in real-time, The importance of diplomacy
Too complex for newcomers, Random elements are uninspired, Rating (out of 10): 9, We played a review copy of Total War: Warhammer on the PC. The game is available digitally on Steam at Rs. 1,999, and you can pick up a physical copy for Rs. 2,499 from Amaz

Unit and faction variety, Chaos invasion, Hero progression
Campaign and quest pacing, Limited start positions
