Initial reviews for both Empire and Napoleon were very positive only for a lot of players to then notice that the Artificial Intelligence was a bit dumb and that naval invasions were not really working, leading to disappointment in the ranks of loyal fans. Why is it hard to review a game in a beloved series that is very good? Because of the complexity of the Total War concept. And, most importantly, Total War: Shogun 2 seems to be very, very good.
The game is the latest in a long running strategy series from The Creative Assembly that began about 11 years ago and has lately suffered from a rather disappointing releases of Empire and Napoleon. The game is the second one set in Medieval Japan, focusing on the struggle between the clans for control of the title of Shogun. It is hard to review Total War: Shogun 2.
