I have been a long lasting fan of the Total War series, albeit i haven't played one since the first Medieval 2, so i jumped on boat the moment i saw it on the humble monthly.
I managed to beat a full fledged campaign with my fellow dwarves and i have come to the realization that i suck at playing both RTS and 4X genre. Luckly the dwarves have possibly the best start in the game so i managed to overwhelm my enemies and the lack of geneva conventions means FLAMETHROWERS. The only good greenskin is a burnt to crisp one.
That's pretty much it, i hope i'll come back to start another campaign once my backlog starts to shrink a bit.

I've had eyes on this game for years, not many jrpg around on pc and this is supposed to be one of best and especially after the mess that was Zestiria i was digging some good old nice jrpg action. I sort of liked it, but the actual battle gameplay was awful and the spike hyke on every boss was unbearable (luckly the dev knew, and dialed down their stats everytime you die)
Everything else apart from the battle was generally very well done, i would have probably appreciated if some of the companion were permanent but it wouldn't have made sense story wise so i can't complain.

Awesome game, awesome cast of characters. An absolutely lovely, charming and comic platform. I honestly have no idea why i hadn't heard of this series before getting the Pirate Curse, a real shame if you ask me.

| God of War 3 | Beaten |
I had the Uncharted trilogy sitting on my desk since i bought the ps4 back during the black friday craze. I was blown away by the jump in quality between the three games (although U2 was imho the high point of the trilogy). Can't wait to play the last installment (which is sitting on my desk too :p)
God Of War 3 was a jump in the nostalgia back in the ps2 era, and i'm sorry to say that maybe, the games were not as good as i remember. Perhaps it didn't age well, but by today standard the gameplay is straight up mediocre for an action game. Demon design is 10/10 though, love their rendition of the chimera.
I haven’t played any prior Total War games (that I can remember) but Total War: WARHAMMER looked fun enough. I liked your summary :) Hopefully it will run decently on my system, I look forward to trying it out soon.
The game is fun but there is a lot of downtime between the enjoyable moments, all of the management portions are kind of badly designed :(
I’m looking forward to playing Total War Warhammer, I’ve played a few of the older games, Empire, Napoleon and Shogun 2 so it’ll be interesting to see what they’ve changed, was there anything in particular that impressed you? I really have no knowledge at all of the Warhammer universe so that’ll take a bit of getting used to but it looks like an interesting setting!
What really left an impression was how unique each faction is and plays, what i really hated was the horrible UI to manage your empire/units, and the lack of event filtering of any sort (somehow the game never tell you when you are getting invaded)
Ah that’s good to know about the factions, I’ve read a lot of moaning by reviewers about how much they’re charging for new factions but I guess if there is already plenty of variation then it’s not too much of a big deal…
