Creative Assembly returns to the Classic Age with Total War Rome II. Did they score a triumph for the Empire?
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. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."
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.
I've yet to pay full price for any Total War games since Medieval (thanks to Steam sales), and it looks like I'll be waiting for this one to come down in price too. Rome 1 was a great game and it seems like a big shame that Sega didn't give CA the time they needed to make a polished entry.
So disappointed by the reception for this game. It's not uncommon for total war games to receive 9s and 10s, this one struggled to average 8s.
Hopefully Creative Assembly will spend more time making sure their product is in good shape before releasing it.
I know why the game is not what it should be it has console port written all over it.
