As a long time TW player since Medieval 1, CA and Sega are out of their minds to be charging $60 for this game made back in 2013 and being stingy on the DLCs. The game was a total mess when it released and is still bad to this day. The only reason why this game even holds up is solely because of Divide Et Impera mod and that goes for even their best games. The modding community has always been the driving factor of Total War making the games better than the actual devs themselves like Darthmod while also creating entirely new and amazing games like Third Age (LotR) for Medieval 2 for examples. The fact that they still charge money for the blood & gore effects for this(which isn't even good) and hasn't gone on sale for over a year just shows how much greed is involved with the Total War series. They turned Total War into a mobile experience with Britannia, Pharaoh, Warhammer 3, (Even Warhammer 1&2 are suspect with the robotic combat of the infantry similar to the 1st Rome) and Three ...

I think Rome 2 is a top 3 total war game behind Shogun 2 and the Warhammer series. all the problems are fixed bug wise and yes I know the Auto Resolve is cheap but if you play the game honestly and actual do the battles it's a ton of fun. I love the different kinds of factions you can be. While being Rome is cool it's a little too easy even on the most difficult setting, I personally love playing as Macadon or Egypt. The battles are awesome and feel real and the food system isn't annoying. The only flaw is the political system, I still have no Idea what the fuck I am doing. 9/10

7/10 My personal favorite of the Total war series, a pretty great game overall. However as always they do quite alot of greedy day one DLC with content that simply should be in the game in the first place. Would love to see the Total War series take a deep breath and stop dropping a "new" reskinned game every 6 months.. stop the greedy over the top DLC's and just take 5 plus years to make a well polished Total War title and they could easily pull off a 9/10 title.

Re-installed this game after a few years and it turns out that CA, always true to form, have broken it and battles get stuck loading, with no other option than to turn the PC off as you can't even force close the game. Some research indicates that this is a very widespread issue and CA has done nothing to resolve it. It also turns out that a random Reddit user found the issue: the game is assigning CPU cores that don't exist, causing the freeze. The solution is to launch the game, access task manager, go to details, right click on rome2.exe, set affinity, and unselect the extra cores (in my case, i have a 6 core CPU so i un-ticked everything above 6). The problem is that this needs to be done every time the game is launched, and the settings are also reset every launch. This issue is over a year old. The fact that CA has not even acknowledged a game breaking bug that affects thousands of users is just typical of a company that long ago chose greed as their whole identity. They'...

60 dollars full price after 12yrs? Yeah, NO. Don't buy from this publisher. They're no better than activision.

If you exclude BS lazy moneygrab DLC's and the bugginess of naval battles (still unfixed, yes, though still fun, too!) - its a very decent classic Total War game with Roman Empire's theme.

I love the theme, but man this game is hard, to a point where its impossible to make any real progress.
