Total War: THREE KINGDOMS Reviews
Three Kingdoms is a good game, and it feels like relearning an old game – it sticks to the Total War formula, but changes so many things around that everything feels different.
With an ever increasing amount of games getting console releases, the PC gamer can typically only point to having the best version of a title.
Total War: Three Kingdoms maybe has the best campaign ever seen in the series, but it misses the point with the tactical phase.

It's not without its UI issues, but Total War 3 Kingdoms provides a beautiful, rich strategy that is well paced while enjoying a new layer of story depth through diplomacy and intrigue.
I was worried that Creative Assembly may not be able to do justice on the Three Kingdoms, but I am more than happy to have been proven wrong. Now if you will excuse me, I need to get sleep, but….one more turn.
New and improved mechanics, complemented by the freshness of its setting, have made Total War Three Kingdoms one of the best titles in this franchise yet. Character traits and relations give a newfound personality to the game while the new class system and Army composition make for a much deeper gameplay. The addition of a fresh, intricate diplomacy system with a comprehensive user interface gives you the tools to pull off complex diplomatic maneuvers, and outsmart your enemies. The endgames are no longer a boring and one sided grind, but stay challenging throughout the playthrough. Even though this game does suffer from technical issues such as buggy AI behavior at times, it is, without a doubt, one of the best Total War games to date

Three Kingdoms represents a return to form for the historical side of the Total War series, with an emphasis on much improved diplomacy and inner-faction politics, alongside a fantastic setting working in the favour of this massive strategy sequel - even if the real time battles mostly feel very familiar.
As always, the battles are exciting, and the scope and scale never fails to impress, with the addition of the heroes adding a new dimension to tactics and strategies. This is the game that Romance of the Three Kingdoms fans have been waiting for.
After several years, we finally have a true Total War experience in Three Kingdoms. Covering almost everything that a fan of strategy genre craves, Three Kingdoms is one of the most complete entries in the TW series and one of the best strategies in recent years.

While the basic formula to Total War hasn't changed, Creative Assembly is genuinely impressive in the way that it manages to capture the subtleties of warfare in whatever era its depicting.
Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is the first in the award-winning series to recreate epic conflict across ancient China. Combining a gripping turn-based campaign of empire-building & conquest with stunning real-time battles.

Total War: Three Kingdoms is one of those rare games, adorned with the power to fully absorb the player in its magic circle, making it very easy to play for hours in its universe. In addition to the great battles, there is a lot of fun to be found here in the various possibilities offered by the campaign, and enthusiasts of the genre are likely to be satisfied with the complexity that the game's subsystems can offer.

Total War: Three Kingdoms narrowly qualifies as a great addition to the Total War franchise as its 4X grand strategy tendencies loom.
The new installment of the star saga of Creative Assembly amply meets expectations. A campaign with a great focus on the different characters and the relationships between them that offers many possibilities to the player along with the characteristic battle system of Total War define an indispensable game for lovers of strategy. Perhaps a little more variety is missing in the types of units, but it does not have to tarnish the great work of the developer belonging to SEGA.

I’m not much for tactics games, I dabbled in Warcraft 3 over a decade ago, but since then I never found myself engaged with games like Civilization or any of the Total War franchise. I let you know this so if you too are coming to Total War: Three Kingdoms without an iota of experience you can determine if this is a game for you. There is a lot to take in with the game, but will the tyranny of Dong Zhou bring you to your knees, or will you rise up to become Emperor of China? Read on in this (not-so) Rapid Review to find out.
Whether you fancy yourself a Dynasty Warrior, or a Crusading King, the absolutely stellar Total War: Three Kingdoms has a lot to offer new players and returning series veterans alike.
Fighting in the middle of fortified cities is a great setting for these battles.
Total War: Three Kingdoms is the best the series has been in a decade. By emphasising on characters and their relationships, each campaign feels like an epic narrative of friendship and betrayal.
