The runner up game on the list as there’s really nothing fundamentally wrong with XCom 2.
Honorable Mentions Fireaxis’ other big franchise just narrowly missed out on the list, due to no fault of it’s own XCom 2 (2016) It’s the game on the list I’ve logged the most time into (432 hours) and for good reason, it’s the most fun game to play in the list.
PLANETARY ANNIHILATION TITAN EXPANSION CHANGES MODS
Not to mention the mods in this game are easily the greatest of any Total War games mad collection. Plus if you have a copy of Warhammer I then you can play the mortal empires campaign which combines the two games and all the factions within them for a gargantuan sized map.Ĭouple that with added content coming out the wazoo both paid and free, and you can play near endlessly. All major factions play with their own unique mechanics and units, and the generals of your armies have more impact than ever. Great fun to soak in and can get very challenging on higher difficulties. The game as a whole is a grand spectacle. Shogun 2 was the only other title in the decade with a chance at this spot, but the variety difference for replay-ability put Warhammer II on top. The jump to fantasy really paid off for Creative Assembly and Sega as Total War Warhammer II is the best game the franchise has produced since Medieval II. Quite possibly the single greatest strategy franchise ever, there’s no list without Total War.
