Total War: Warhammer III

Our analysis

A feature-rich strategy entry with a standout, story-driven tutorial campaign, massive UI and quality-of-life improvements, gorgeous battle maps, and the best music and audio in the trilogy. It is held back by significant launch bugs, an oddly minimalist all-red interface that hurts readability, a smoothed-out campaign-map art style, and combat jank tied to the missing blood DLC. The objective-focused Realms of Chaos campaign and long, tower-defense-style Survival Battles are divisive, and some factions like Kislev feel underdeveloped.

Our analysis

Angry Joe calls Total War: Warhammer III the best base Warhammer Total War yet. He praises its multiplayer, reworked sieges and fantastic audio, but says the chaos realm race ruins campaign pacing and that launch performance issues and bugs hold it back.
