« Total War: Three Kingdoms is as close to flawless as you'll find, with a fantastic balance of 4X strategy and character-focused development and emergent storytelling. The battles are frantic, with increased tactical opportunities through duelling. City development is more intuitive and less restrictive, though still requires thought and all of this takes place on a China that looks downright fantastic, where even the UI and menus look great. This is the Total War experience and a new high for the series. »

« More than just a good Total War game. Its variety in play, riveting campaign mode and improved performance move it up to one of the best games in the RTS genre. »

« Total War: Three Kingdoms sets a high watermark for the series and a new bar for the genre. Its attention to detail, high level of polish and differing faction mechanics means you can blissfully spend hundreds, even thousands of hours playing and still find something new and beautiful to engage with. It blends larger than life characters with historical authenticity, and technical polish with tactical finesse...I can see myself playing for years to come, and I can’t wait to see where the series goes next. »

« Massive enhancement of all systems is perfectly complemented by beautiful audio and visuals. You won’t regret this trip to China! [Issue#295] »

« I really don’t have sufficient superlatives to use here. Beyond best-in-setting and best-in-franchise, Total War: Three Kingdoms is a game that instantly contends for best of the year, or best in its genre. The setting and franchise here give it high expectations, and Three Kingdoms surpasses those expectations at almost every level. »

« Total War: Three Kingdoms uses excellent pacing and strong character mechanics to create a consistently exciting and challenging historical strategy campaign. »

« Creative Assembly has managed to make the series feel fresh without changing its core, delivering one of its best entries to date. It looks and plays great, and it comes with many, many hours of content. »

« CA took a huge gamble with its latest release and it really paid off. Three Kingdoms offers a very polished campaign with a strong narrative and robust diplomacy and espionage systems. Together with the immersive management of faction characters, the series are steering towards deeper micromanagement and a more challenging and deeply immersive experience. Romance mode might not be everyone's cup of tea but there are also other options for the more historically inclined fans. »

« Pretty fun distraction compared to the historic titles, not as compelling from a fundamental perspective but well enough designed. »

« Almost perfect campaign system (for me the perfect is the medieval2 maybe because of the nostalgia) but the battle is perfect! OMG. But I can't add 10 points due to the blood dlc... Why??? »

« Les Total War se suivent et malheureusement se ressemblent (mis à part les warhammer). Peu de nouveauté : une carte de campagne (en Chine) des généraux très puissants faisant penser aux dynasty warriors puis voila, le reste vous connaissez déjà si vous connaissez la licence. Dommage ! »

« i know must of the people are not agree but this game is one of the best total war for me »

« I don't think anything fairer than a note 10! There are many small details that could be better. Regardless, I have a lot of fun trying new lords and different ways to play. I highly recommend! At first, you get lost with so much information, but soon you get used to it and want more! Of the total wars I've played, I believe it's the best in interface, difficulty and story. »

« Great game, maybe best historical piece of total war since medieval 2 are getting bit outdated. Great graphics, great story driven campaigns almost on all factions. Hero mechanics is just awesome. I just hope CA takes best features of this game on to their future total wars. »

« This game is rubbish. It is not enjoyable to play at all. When it came out, it was a different take on a historic total war game. I did not mind the romantic hero based armies, and I really enjoyed the new and improved diplomatic system. But since then, with every DLC, new bugs were introduced. For instance, the load times between rounds are now a minute or longer on a high-end CPU. Will CA fix these bugs and fulfil the Three Kingdoms timeline? Of course not. CA gave up on this game and works on the successor instead. The officially said so. DO NOT BUY IT. This game is a hit in the face of honest buyers, who expected to play in the Three Kingdoms based China. If you really want to try it out, buy it directly at Steam, so you can give it back or take other means to play it for free. It is not worth a single dollar. »

« My truthful honorable incorruptible conclusive rating of this considered game: 9. »
