"It has been almost a decade since CA first visited the Roman Empire, and it certainly feels like now is the right time to go back. So much of the series has changed and evolved in that time, that it lets them give a fresh spin on proceedings, update game mechanics, and broaden the scope significantly. It’s not just a bigger game than Rome, though, it’s CA’s biggest game to date."
Total War: Rome II launched 10 years ago today, and remains a staple in the grand strategy genre in PC gaming.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky.

EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.
So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.
