Total War: WARHAMMER II

What they did was split the Total war: warhammer game into 2 games. You get half of the world map in each game. I know Creative Assembly can be greedy, but this is really a new low.

If you like warhammer and total war, you will likely like this the game is basickly an expansion to the first one, at full price The dlc from warhammer 1 carries over. good and bad, cus not getting warhammer 1 means you are not getting acces to the dlc from 1 the amount of dlc does in many if not most cases seem like cash grabs, but even if you dont get it, the ai still will. DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

Pretty fun Total War. Spells and monsters are cool to play with. Doesn't have an FPS cap which is a bother. Battles get a bit samey after a while. Siege AI is really stupid, units and spells interact with walls rather poorly, to the point of them being nigh unusable save for very generic use cases.

Overpriced DLC for a game I apparently should have bought instead of this. Requesting refund and never buying anything from CA again.

This game has a ton of annoying features and bugs. As a result, I subscribed to about 200 mods through the steam workshop. I usually have about 10 to 30 mods active during any given session. The launcher frequently breaks, deactivating all of my mods and randomizing the launch order of the mods. It's a pain in the ass to a) download mods to fix the problems the developers couldn't bother to fix and b) constantly go through the mod list, rearrange the launch order, and figure out which mods to reactivate. Oh, and the launcher is extremely unwieldy and user-unfriendly. If you want to move a mod from the 200th position in launch order to the 1st position, you can to click on the mod and drag it from the bottom of the list and wait for it to scroll sloooooowly to the top of the list. The whole process takes about a minute for a single change to the launch order. And you have to do it for every. individual. mod.

Peak of the trilogy. Best balance of content vs stability compared to the other two (TW:WH3 has plenty of the former and none of the latter, TW:WH1 has a bit of both but less than TW:WH2). There's lots to be criticized about the amount of expensive DLC but that's true of any Total War game in the last decade. On the merits of the game itself this is one of the best in the franchise.

Yeah, it's addicting, it's a lot of fun But it's long tl;dr Many aspects are done well and are nicely fleshed-out. Army compositions, battles, unique factions posing new challenges (not just copy-pasting previous factions with a new skin). This all keeps the game interesting and fun. However, games simply take too long and the map is too big. Victory conditions can cause you to travel literally across the map, and the game mechanics are not well optimized for this long-range travel. Go play it The game does a lot. You have many customization options, able to choose your own armies, test out different types of positioning, and many different enemies, troops, and strategies. All of this is does very well. It's so much fun to figure out something that works, build something balanced, and go and absolute obliterate everyone. As well as the scaling. The game does do a nice job of keeping you in check, though. Even with late-game units, armies, and defences, the "vagrant" armies the game throws at you still pose a nice challenge. but the game is long. very very long. It can take you tens of hours to reach a nice point in the game where you are secure and have most things under control. But this is barely where win conditions begin to take place. You still have to finish every last part of the condition off. I think this is just my personal gripe with these games, they are just too big. Too many people, goals are across the map, and long-range travelling is simply abysmal. God-forbid you want to have two armies always next to one another for support in case an ambush happens, you'll have to manually move them all the time. The game does a lot and it does a lot right. It's a lot of fun to field armies and control the battles yourself, especially when auto-resolve hits you with the "valiant defeat". However, it is not without its flaws. Games take an excruciating amount of time, and the map is simply too big. Reduce the size, make it so that victory conditions can be met before maxing everything out, and this makes for a very intense battle game. Go play it

Gameplay Mechanics: 9/10 Narrative: 7/10 Graphics: 8/10 Sound and Music: 9/10 Replayability: 10/10 Innovation: 8/10 Total War: Warhammer II builds on the strong bones of the first game and delivers one of the best fantasy strategy experiences ever made. With unique factions, vibrant maps, and epic tactical battles, it stands as a high point in the Total War franchise. Gameplay mechanics are excellent. Each faction plays differently, not just in units but in campaign systems—Skaven have food and under-empire mechanics, Dark Elves use slavery and Black Arks, High Elves gain influence and spy networks. Battles are dynamic, with monsters, magic, and artillery mixing with classic Total War formations. The Vortex campaign adds pressure and pacing, even if not everyone loves the scripted race-to-the-finish mechanic. Score: 9/10. Narrative is better than average for a Total War game. The Vortex gives each campaign a central purpose, and Legendary Lords bring personal goals and rivalries. It’s not deep storytelling, but there’s enough flavor and structure to keep campaigns feeling alive. Score: 7/10. Graphics are sharp. The map is colorful and varied, with lush jungles, vast deserts, and twisted chaos lands. Units look great in motion—watching a dragon torch a line of infantry or a giant wreak havoc never gets old. Score: 8/10. Sound and music are a big strength. Each faction has distinct voice lines and ambient audio, while the soundtrack adds atmosphere and tension in both campaign and combat. Spells and siege engines hit with real weight. Score: 9/10. Replayability is top-tier. With a huge variety of factions, Legendary Lords, campaign styles, and custom battles—not to mention Mortal Empires and mods—there's no shortage of fresh ways to play. Score: 10/10. Innovation isn’t groundbreaking, but the level of asymmetry between factions and the improvements to pacing and design show clear evolution. It doesn’t just iterate—it refines the fantasy Total War formula into something great. Score: 8/10. In short, Total War: Warhammer II is a must-play for strategy and fantasy fans alike. Massive, deep, and endlessly replayable—it’s Total War at its most fun.

great game one of the best in the total war franchise along with the other 2 warhammer ones

- Addicting to play - plenty of hours of game play - doesn't get old to play - multiple different ways to beat the game - character and war progression is complete and fulfilling

Unfortunately, I can't play the Empire in mortal Empires. Everything else works beautifully, except the Empire factions. No matter how you slice it, I can't access a part of this game and I haven't been able to find a solution to prevent crashes and freezes when I play Empire on mortal empires. I've gone through the list and none of it is either the problem or just isn't applicable cuz it's 2025. If I can't play a part of your game and my hardware exceeds the recommended system requirements, then I won't recommend it. Get it only for Warhammer 3. Now, I'm going to go back and keep playing everything except the Empire factions. I hope I won't have such problems with Warhammer 3 when I get it next month.

this game is so awesome, you can have fun in many different ways by trying new factions and new strategies. multiplayer coop campaigns are the best, super fun with your friends.

amazing game with lots of free DLC's to try out. some fun characters as well and as long as your computer can run it super fun on lower

Warhammer II its my comfort food, a little strange but its a life. Vortex is kinda lame give me the sandbox anyday. Its got some rough edges, but honestly cards on the table it is great. Treat it like one of those song artists that did something ugly it the past or supposedly but their music is still stellar. Just jam out anyway.

Already played 100+ hours and bought it on sale on steam to introduce this game to a friend too.Now we both talk like skaven... yes yes CAUTION - This game will ruin your life because its so addictive... The game has so many different factions, such as High Elves, Evil Dark Elves, Pirates, Vampires, and dinosaurs—yes, you read correctly—and so many different units in their armies and spells that will leave you in awe,dumbstruck and wanting to try and experiment with them all. If you get the hang of it, you won't need any other games because it's so vast and entertaining, and it also makes your brain work while you laugh like an evil guy destroying the entire enemies armies or cry in the corner like a baby if your main army is annihilated.

Você precisa comprar total war Warhammer 1 para jogar o total war Warhammer 2 e precisa ter os dois pra jogar o 3 e eles ainda tem a AUDÁCIA de enfiar um monte de DLC paga que desbloqueia conteúdos que já deveriam estar incluídos a partir do momento que você paga 50 dólares na porra de UM jogo, no fim, tu vai acabar precisando gastar no mínimo uns 150 dólares pra se divertir de verdade, tem muita coisa melhor por aí, não recomendo.

Sorry to sound like a whiner but the magic mechanic is a-bso-lu-te BS in this game. I played strategy/action games for decades, and never witnessed anything that ridiculous. You can be doing great, spent hours preparing a sound economy, balanced army, etc. and get wiped out in SECONDS by a monstruous dragon supported by magic spells, killing at least half of your army before you can even make a dent in them. I am amazed this game got so popular it is visually striking but virtually unplayable if you do not spend years learning every buff, debuff, by heart, every unit, every strategy. It is just not fun, sorry. I am a nerd already I dont want to become an incel hermitic nerd to have a chance at winning against an enemy using magic, absolutely mental

Probably the best way to experience the Warhammer Universe without having to mortgage your house

do you fantasize about nagash himself calling you his special little guy? if so, get off steam, Arkhan the Black

Jogo muito bom pra quem tem autismo com hiper-foco, talvez eu tenha com hiper-foco

The Warhammer franchise is the best of its kind. And this is coming from someone who played the first of its kind, "Warhammer - Shadow of the Honed Rat", ALOT! But Total War series is a worthy se-se-sequel. I am really going to put under the rug (but still mention), all the display bugs that haunt this series that I encounter on Windows and Linux alike ... I'm getting the impression that the main fault belongs to Nvidia... What else is to say: this is the best until now in 4X and real time tactical battles ... the whole Total War series is. Nothing really compares in depth of battle tactics, and even the "AI" opponents have some interesting strategies you can try to decipher and abuse. So, the battles are very very realistic and complex, the universe is solid, consistent and extremely detailed. The addons, while trying to squeeze you of some extra money are still worth it for some of the extra-races you just love (I just love the wood elves for example) Loving the game and the series !!!

The funny rats make getting my ass kicked better.

Not bad. Quote: "Remember Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. Probably worth a google?"

Master-master of warp-inventions, yes-yes!

honestly, not a fan of the warhammer titles. the ai seems to have only gotten more annoying and less fun to play against, the varied roster is okay but feels so varied as to be unnecessary and poorly balanced, the campaign is less immersive and just feels like a big mess, and generally i really just don't have fun playing them. not to mention the best factions are DLC and there's so much DLC that you would have to drop an absurd amount of money to get it all. really not worth playing when there are other fantastic total war games. really hope they abandon these, because they feel like someone just slapping the warhammer IP onto a poorly balanced total war game structure so they can go "oooooo look its gorfen dorf the dwarf he's fifteen dollars." im glad i did not buy the third one.

Best of the 3 Total Warhammer games. You might just consider this "DLC for TW3" but there's this funny trick where you just play TW2 instead because it's better in every way

With over 400 hours in the game I can only say this is a very addicting game. Yes: I do dislike that all the total warhammer games have 20'ish paid micro-expansions but still bought them. Replay value in this game (and the DLC's) is insane. the workshop only adds to this experience.

Best out of the 3 tw warhammer fantasy games, warhammer 1 was a great game but when w2 came out it was a perfect combination of bunch of mechanics jus working, w3 just doesnt feel as engaging as w2 due to the fleshed out characters. very good Game yes

So bloody addicting. Seriously what the hell

amazing game it can run potato pc im using 1.10 ghz

shits fire a couple lil issues here n there like the ai doom stacking buut hey get good

So who is the announcer anyway? I started with him advising the elves on their purification of the vortex to protect all that is life and holy. And I ended with him cackling with glee when Taurox the Brass Bull subjugated most of the known world, sacrificing thousands upon thousands of innocents to the dark gods. Guess the man is playing all sides. In fact is he even a man...? Like Total War: Warhammer I, but more refined. More armies, more gameplay options, more everything. Mods included. Loved it. Highly recommended! Rating: 8.5/10

A good-great game yes-yes
