This game is genuinely great at its core, but unfortunately, it’s been mismanaged into the ground.

There are still multitudes of bugs, graphical errors, and performance issues that’ve been present in Warhammer 3 since launch. Some gamemodes have even been outright unplayable for me. Patches are extremely slow and the last few caused significantly more problems than they solved.

The AI in this game is some of the worst I've ever seen, and the devs compensate by giving them blatant cheats and an absolutely deranged level of anti-player bias. Some campaigns, I’ve had 5 factions at war with me sending 2-4 stacks each into my home province within the first 10-15 turns. Yes, really.

CA's also going through an annoying period where they're raising prices on DLC by 150% while also giving us noticeably less content. Meanwhile, they've gone radio-silent except to release a really bizarre and tone-deaf statement essentially saying, "Stop complaining, this is the way it's going to be for the foreseeable future." Additionally, it's been almost impossible to get them to acknowledge major issues.

I really hope this game gets the proper care it needs to recover, but CA seems hell-bent on wasting the goodwill they earned from Warhammer 2. Check back in 2-3 years, hopefully it'll be worth the money then.

Edit: CA is currently going to war with their own forums and mass-banning people for making jokes or criticizing the game. I retract the above statement, Warhammer 3 and CA aren't worth your time.
