“The game itself is good, but the DLC situation is honestly ridiculous. If you buy this game, you’re basically only getting about 20~30% of its content. More than half the races are completely paywalled, and even the…”
“game crashing on startup. idiots. and just to be clear, a singleplayer game with multiplayer capability shouldn't fail to launch when servers are broken. I should be able to launch and play singleplayer anytime I want.…”
“I absolutely love this game. But if you're not already invested in it, it's frankly just not worth what you pay for it. At the time of writing; the base game is £49.99, with some content locked behind a need to have…”

“Really great Total War game and a massive upgrade from Warhammer 1 and 2. There’s just so much more packed into this game now. Loads of new features, improvements, and quality-of-life changes that make everything feel…”
“This is a great strategy game and has one of the best Total War base games I have experienced (and I have "a couple" [a.k.a. like almost 10] Total War games), and that is to say nothing of the great mods it has. The…”
“I've always liked the top-down, RTS type games since I was younger and none have ever challenged me nor has there been one I find myself always coming back to like Total War: Warhammer 3. I have many fond AND…”

“Warhammer III is easily one of my most played games, with over 1k hours and still going 💕 mostly in co-op with my boyfriend. On our PCs it runs smoothly on max settings with fast load times, so no complaints there. We…”
“The animations are cool, game is amazing, and really, really, REALLY gives you the feel you dream of in these games. Cant wait for the 40k one.”
“Love it! My first total war game. Was sceptical because of some comments but it never dissapointed me, the world on the map looks beatiful and feels alive, always keeps me on my toes. Lore is fun! Choosing a wrong enemy…”

“Well, i don"t recommend it, because after only 1,683hrs, i grew sick of it. This is way too little, unacceptable!”
“Probably the best Total War game (I've only played Shogun and Rome 2 lol) but if you don't have an interest in a specific region/time period then Warhammer 3 is the way to go. Regrettably, 70% of the roster isn't…”

“This game has worst dlc creep i ever saw. Even basic campaigns are crippled if you do not have dlc. For example, playing as Belakor you can't assign your heroes and lords to any gods, only to chaos undivided. You need…”

“Game is unlaunchable after update. With a fresh install, verified files, and vanilla game with no mods the game is stuck in a reboot phase. Once you launch the game it closes.”
“Unable to launch the game unless you use steam offline mode. Idiot devs pushed something and broke everything without checking or rolling back.”
“added an update to add a mod manager, game now is unable to launch. 10/10 no notes”

“Very fun, but oh my goodness the actual insanity of all the dlcs you need. People are right, the corporate greed is on another level for sure and it's super sad. The game itself is beautiful and great, but you shouldn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get to play all the…”
— a player, Steam review · 78 hrs played“The total war warhammer franchise has been a constant vacuum of time for me. I just really enjoy it over the historical total war games and am looking forwards to total war 40k. Warhammer 3 runs decently well but can still makes some pcs sweat trying to run it. I also think the…”
