The day and night cycle, which is not linked by turns, is also completely outstanding. The Greek artwork in this game, and the way it integrates with the campaign map, makes for very satisfying gameplay. Total War games have always been known to accurately represent the art of the time. But Troy takes it to the next level. Out of respect for the other Total War titles, I put it a bit lower here… but it could easily rank second or third, to be honest. Because I think this thing is an absolute masterpiece. The only reason Troy doesn’t rank higher on my list is that this game is a Saga title and not a full Total War game. I just wish the campaign was a little better, but the title itself is really fun to play. I recommend that you choose this one if you find it selling online at a discounted price.


The battles are great and the units really transport you back to one of the darkest periods in Britain’s history. Speaking of battles, if you’re one of those Total War players who tend to steer clear of the Campaign game and just like to play the actual historical battles (or online battles, for that matter), then Thrones is a game that you could really enjoy more than the average gamer. Although it does not live up to expectations, the title is wonderful and the battles are fantastic. But the extremely detailed map makes the vibe of this game something that I really like. The gameplay of the Thrones campaign doesn’t really feel right. Thrones of Britannia take you back to the time when Britain was being attacked and colonized by Vikings and allows you to take on the role of any civilization you wish in your quest to conquer the British Isles and ultimately establish solid dominance over them. The game leaves a lot to be desired in the campaign, but I think the illustrations and units in this title make it worth buying if you can find it at a discounted price. I know a lot of people thought Thrones of Britannia was quite a disappointing game. But I don’t necessarily share that opinion.
