Though I love the game just as much as I did when I wrote my other article on it (and if you haven’t clicked on that link yet, you should be right about now), I’ve realized a number of things in the hundred hours or so I’ve put in since I wrote it. For review purposes, I’m treating the first and second game as the same experience, because functionally they are: You can play the entirety of Warhammer 1 (and then some) as a free add-on to Warhammer 2, provided that you own both titles. So I feel that I owe some kind of explanation to myself and my readers as to why, just why, I’ve spent so much time on this one game.Īs always, the review will follow my typical format: Presentation, mechanics, and “story,” which, as I’ve covered a number of games without real “story modes,” per se, I’ve realized has merely come to mean any element of the experience which provides some overarching theme or message to justify the player’s actions within the world of the game, whether that’s dialogue, plot, objectives, or even just the general vibe you get as you play. The waste is incredible, though I have to admit it was highly enjoyable. If I had spent that time writing, I might end up being able to put out a Medium article more than once a month. If I had spent that time practicing, say, Swedish, jag kunde tala det mycket bra. If I had spent that time working out, I would be a monster. I now have nearly two hundred hours on both games combined. But…well, that was never going to be enough. Once again, Total War: Warhammer asks the age-old question: Who would win…?įull disclosure: I have already written something that could be considered a review of Total War: Warhammer.
Each charging towards the other, they meet with a clash of ringing steel, and soon it becomes apparent that the real question is whether the singing Elven bowstrings will be able to deal enough (re)death to put down the unliving horde before it overwhelms their front line completely. One shambles forth, a disorderly crowd of grinning skeletons and rotting zombies, and the other steps proudly ahead, a glittering display of ancient beauty utterly undiminished by the passage of time.
If you easily get tired of scenes like this, the game is not for you.
