TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Stefan L
If Total War Warhammer 3 is the beginning of the end for Creative Assembly's fantasy series, then it's going out on a high note. The game takes several steps forward in how the campaign works, how it builds toward climactic battles and then how those battles take place, and there's plenty of quality of life improvements for the Total War series as a whole.
TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Harry Alston
Overall, Total War Warhammer 3 is a gift to its fans, a fitting send-off to the trilogy. The real going-away party arrives whenever Mortal Empires shows up, but for now, you can delve into the twisted Chaos Realm and get lost in sprawling battles and text-heavy menus, like any Total War fan.
Metro GameCentral: 9 / 10
An inspired ending to the Warhammer trilogy that rather than just adding new factions makes a host of clever additions and changes to the gameplay and structure, in what is one of the great achievements in modern strategy gaming.
The main pros of the game
- Epic Scale and Variety: Players appreciate the massive scale of battles, the variety of factions, and the unique mechanics associated with each faction. The game offers a rich universe filled with different races and playstyles, enhancing replayability.
- Engaging Gameplay: The combination of turn-based strategy and real-time tactics creates an addictive gameplay loop, often leading players to lose track of time ("just one more turn").
- High-Quality Graphics: The game maintains a high visual standard with detailed unit designs and vibrant environments, contributing to an immersive experience.
- Complex Mechanics: Many players enjoy the depth of the game mechanics, including resource management, diplomacy, and tactical combat.
- Continuous Updates: The game is noted for receiving regular updates and new content, which keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging.
The main cons of the game
- Performance Issues: Many users report frequent crashes, bugs, and performance problems, particularly after updates. These issues can significantly hinder the gameplay experience.
- DLC and Monetization: The game has been criticized for its heavy reliance on DLC, with many factions and features locked behind additional purchases. Players express frustration over the high costs associated with acquiring all content.
- Complex Learning Curve: New players often find the game overwhelming due to its complexity and the steep learning curve associated with understanding the various systems and mechanics.
- Multiplayer Issues: Users report significant problems with multiplayer functionality, including desynchronization and game freezes, making it difficult to enjoy cooperative play.
The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users
- More Faction Accessibility: Many players feel that the base game should include more factions without requiring additional purchases. The need to own previous titles and their DLCs to access certain factions is a common complaint.
- Improved AI and Diplomacy: Users express a desire for smarter AI and better diplomatic interactions, noting that the current systems can be frustrating and lacking in depth.
- Better Siege Mechanics: Some players miss the siege mechanics from previous Total War titles, finding the current system less engaging.
- Mod Support and Customization: There are calls for improved mod support and customization options, as players wish to see more flexibility in how they can modify their gameplay experience.
Summary
- Overall, while Total War: WARHAMMER III has a dedicated fan base and offers a rich and engaging strategy experience, it faces criticism regarding performance issues, monetization practices, and certain gameplay mechanics that could be improved.

Total War: Warhammer III Description
Total War: Warhammer 3 is the third part of the Total War strategy sub-cycle, which takes players into the world of the tabletop battle game Warhammer Fantasy Battle. The game is the culmination of a trilogy developed by Creative Assembly studio and published by SEGA.
Plot
In the game we return to the dark universe of Warhammer. After visiting the Old World and the lands to the west of it, the latest installment of the sub-series takes us to the border of dimensions, where the warriors of Kislev and the empire of Great Cathay guard the way to the kingdom ruled by the four gods of Chaos. The tension in this troubled region is looking to be utilised by an ancient power seeking to gain ultimate power. However, to do so, this entity will have to find a champion among the inhabitants of the mortal world.
The entire Total War Warhammer trilogy is based on Warhammer Fantasy Battle (in this case mainly the 8th edition of the game). It does not take into account the themes and threads introduced in Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
Game mechanics
Like the previous two installments, TW Warhammer 3 uses the proven gameplay style of the Total War series. So it is a strategy game played on two planes. We command the entire faction in turns, moving armies, taking care of the economy and developing technology. But when we enter into battle, confrontations involving thousands of units take place in real time.
Changes from the two previous installments in the Total War: Warhammer series include new factions, including the video game debuts of the Kislev and Katay armies. The developers have also made sure that the scale of battles exceeds anything seen in previous games in the sub-cycle.
A new element are the battles at the portals of Chaos. These are long, multi-stage skirmishes in which we can recruit additional units and even build fortifications, including magic towers, which shoot projectiles at the enemy. Such battles end with an encounter with a powerful demon.
Sieges have also undergone a change. During them defenders can continuously build temporary fortifications and organize ambushes within the city itself. Each fortress of this kind also has unique characteristics specific to the faction that controls it. These improvements make sieges multi-stage and they don't end after the first line of walls is breached.
