A Total War Saga: Troy Review

Ойындар

A Total War Saga: Troy reviewed by T.J. Hafer on PC.
It may not be up to the grandeur of Three Kingdoms or Warhammer 2, but A Total War Saga: Troy is a significant step up from the previous Saga game, Thrones of Britannia. Troy is simply dripping with style and offers exciting, diverse campaign objectives that enthusiastically retell the timeless tale of the Trojan War and its iconic characters. There are enough technical missteps, particularly with the campaign, economy, and battle AI, that it's still vulnerable to a sharp jab in the heel. But with a bit of post-launch love to clean all of that up, it could certainly take its place among the Total War pantheon.

    I adore the graphics in this. Everything has a warm, painterly feel. I'm still going to play through Total Warhammer first, but WOW I wish they treated the graphics for Warhammer more like this. It's like a lore book come to life. The proportions of the troops seem better, too, and I love the hyper-saturation. Frame rates seem more stable too (2070 super, 3800x, 64gb ram). The story/cutscenes seems like a huge step-up. I've never considered a character's story when picking a leader before, but it actually made it interesting in this game, especially because everything hinges around this one conflict over Helen. I honestly like these smaller-scale, bite-sized TW games. They're easier to keep a handle on because they don't get so ENORMOUS by the end game, and I like the focused story. Hey, the game was also $0, so I can't complain.

    It looks like they went with the version of chariots from Homer rather than the real Trojan War, where the heroes use them as taxis to battle and not to fight from them as they were really used at the time.

Just take Mycennia for an example -- we literally thought the Myceneans and Minoans didn't even exist outside of myth and folklore until a bit more than one century ago when we discovered the real Minoan island with the caves of the Minotaur

    The game was not even supposed to come out until spring/summer 2021. This was basically an unofficial early release which only happened because epic had great interest I'm assuming. A lot of these issues are going to be fixed. I still want to know why this game came out almost a YEAR early. Epic had to pull strings to get this not only released early but for free as well. I hope the information becomes public at some point, I have not found any information regarding the business side of things.

I still want to see an empire 2 Althing I don’t think we ever will. The UK and CA specifically have gone super “politically correct” so it’s all about small stylized and “romantic” periods in history now. I wish CA still wanted to make games for big boys, I feel like they dumb down their games with every other new release.

    The game looks great, I just didn't find it very enjoyable. Combat is kind of a mess of AI, which this review hints at, and Diplomacy just doesn't work. The factions I didn't find very fun because the goals are kind of vague, and since the Factions can't use diplomacy, the whole gigantic War with Troy never quite works the way it should, which is kind of the whole point of the game and the Iliad. Heroes occasionally fight, but this has the same issue as Three Kingdoms where often an enemy hero will slowly run away as your character chases them half way across the map slowly beating at the remainder of health.
