Total War: Three Kingdoms
While you technically only spend half of your time playing in the turn-based strategy layer of the Total War series, they need to be included for pure bombast alone.
Spanning every era, from Ancient Rome to the Napoleonic Era, each Total War game drills down into its chosen time period and provides hundreds (sometimes thousands) of hours of deep, satisfying gameplay.
As the name implies, the Total War series has a combat focus and its real-time combat is thrilling and is a technical marvel. With thousands of soldiers clashing in mo-capped combat, that you can view from a first-person level or from a birds-eye view far above, these games will push even the beefiest PC to their limits on extreme settings and are a fantastic benchmark for tech enthusiasts.
