¶ Shogun 2 is a masterpiece of strategy gaming. Set in feudal Japan, it offers an immersive mix of grand-scale tactics and intricate battle mechanics. The campaign map is stunning, with dynamic seasons and authentic Japanese aesthetics.

¶ The real-time battles are breathtaking, especially when you're surrounded by a full enemy army, have only 5-7 units of Bow/Yari Ashigaru, and still manage to win after many failed attempts using different tactics. Diplomacy and strategic planning are as important as military might. The economy system is more challenging than in Medieval 2, and I enjoy it a lot.

¶ The animations look great—some of the best in the entire series. Fall of the Samurai is a must-have expansion if you love the Boshin War setting or are a fan of Rurouni Kenshin manga/anime. While Rise of the Samurai isn’t for everyone, it’s a decent addition, I guess.

Hands down, one of the greatest games in the TW franchise
