Make a Lord of the Rings version next if you have to. Then Conan. Then Game of Thrones. Then, I don’t know, Krull. Whatever it takes to keep injecting that old strategy vs tactics formula with cool story quirks and fantastic magical powers, I hope Creative Assembly keep doing it, because Total War: Warhammer has been a blast.
By building on a strong foundation, it allows its players the freedom of determining their own destiny, with little in the way of flaws holding it back. Sure, I may have some grudges that may never be removed from the great book, but in the end, this is the best experience I’ve had, bar none, when it comes to real time strategy games.

A richly-crafted recreation of the Warhammer world and the best Total War game in years. [July 2016, p.66]

Started the series, but an amazing start. Wouldn't have gotten all the cool stuff later on in the series!

An old classic and new ideas put together a great continuation of the legendary strategy series. This is exactly what Total War needed. [Issue#264]

TW: WH never slips into a routine, gameplay keeps player on tenterhooks from the beginning to the end. And thanks to the diversity of the factions – it’s quite replayable. At least five times. [Issue#210, p.86]

Total War: Warhammer is the most interesting, most polished, and most enjoyable Total War game to date. Depending on which camp you come from you may have a slight learning curve, but its definitely worth it as this game has plenty to sink your teeth into if you're a fan of strategy, high-fantasy, or both.

It's a triumph of real-time strategy design, and the best the Total War series has ever been.

Warhammer: Total War: Warhammer brings the fresh air that the series created by The Creative Assembly needed. It offers hours and hours of fun and a very well-designed game.

Total War: Warhammer redefines the series with this great fantasy entry, but not without caveats. While the battles are arguably more spectacular than earlier and the campaign is based on the traditional Total War formula, it does take some time getting into. The game focuses on few factions and more linear campaigns than ever before, but what is present is undeniably exciting, and bodes well for the future of the series.

Game Revolution
When you walk away from Total War: Warhammer, you’ll feel like you’ve played yet another decent Warhammer game. It has the attention to detail and adherence to lore that fans of the IP look for, but without many of the compelling qualities that are needed to substantiate AAA games in a release-heavy year like 2016.

Simplified tactical considerations regards others TW games and an expensive DLC politic... The game is far to be perfect. But is an absolutely huge game, with a lot of factions of warhammer series (some of them paid ones) and full of different units with all the essence of warhammer, the graphics are beautiful in tactical and strategical views and the settlements management is complex and deep... All factions has also different game mechanics and the replayaibility is infinite.

Warhammer makes total war definitely more interesting. But heroes abilities and agents, as well as buildings could have been better developed. Overall it seems as total war has barely evolved over the years.

Very meh game. Many total war features were simplified for casuals that are new to the genre and overall the game is much easier. The only good thing it has is the fantasy setting but there isn't much replayability once you have tried each one of the races.

Another poor effort from CA they really are living off the back of Rome total war now. This game offers no challenge it's just easy. I won the long campaine without ever being the strongest faction or ever having to fight the strongest faction which just seems dumb. Some of the factions will have no involvement in your game what so ever. The graphics are stunning but that shouldn't be what a total war game is about
