“A lot more complete than the first game in terms of lore, races and factions. The wider variety makes this game very engaging and can keep you playing for hours and hours.”

“It's good. I played III first, but I think this one is still worth buying and playing at least a couple of campaigns. The vortex campaign is pretty nice; some races have better content in this game than in III (i.e.…”
“TWW2, with its DLC and TWW1, is the polished end product of the trilogy and worth every penny. Meanwhile skip TWW3 and all of its DLC. The game is a chaotic mess and gets worse with every new DLC. Keep in mind troops,…”
“Fun, it was the Total War game that actually made the gameplay click for me so yeah pick it up when its on sale”

“I've poured 316.9 hours into Total War: WARHAMMER II and I still yell "JUST ONE MORE TURN!" every time I play and get involved it's my ultimate strategy addiction! If you loved WH1, this sequel cranks everything to 11,…”

“Wanted to play some immortal empires with older mods, which arent in WH3, turns out there are no more immortal empires in wh2 and to play mortal empires i need wh1, what is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥???”
“You kinda need DLC from the first game and the DLC from this one.... and you pay a bit extra for a blood code.... but if you get it all on sale then you too can eschew the sunlight and play with your digital minis.”

“This game at first appears as though you will be enjoying engaging in battles and playing as numerous different races/factions, but infact the game is very slow, the battles are few and far between and the tutorial…”
“It does a handful of things better than the older titles, but otherwise gameplay is painfully simplified.”
“Its still a good game,however the vortex campaign is also still a mess.”

“So sad to see how we went from this absolute masterpiece of a game to the current state of the total war franchise. Seeing how they treat their fans, content creators and the franchise as a whole, paired with disgusting…”
“It's an amazing game, I have 3+k hours in it and would be happy to come back to the game in a while. Though they broke the Linux version in the very last update so it's not very playable for me any more. I hope it's not…”

“I have 150 hours on TW: Warhammer I, and 500 on TW: Warhammer II. It seems like Creative Assembly isn't the same company which made TW: Rome, Medieval, and this one. Recent offerings are meh at best, and they seem to have evolved into a cash-grab developer. But I find the two…”

Wh3 is quantity over quality this game was not, they still cared about making the best game they could, now they care only about making money. Unique animation,…”
