Big fan of how this one plays, it's the logical gameplay conclusion of the first 2 games. The prologue is great and is a perfect entry point to the Total War franchise as a whole (even better since it's on Gamepass). I'm just not a huge fan of the base races this time around. The Daemonic races were never appealing and the 2 human nations aren't grabbing me like the human/elven races of the previous games.
Once we get the legacy races playable this could be a contender for best Total War game, Shogun 2 and Rome 1 better watch out.
