Best PC Exclusive Games of 2019
First Runner-Up: Total War: Three Kingdoms
Contributor Khayl Adam: Total War Three Kingdoms is a triumphant return to form for Creative Assembly’s series of historical strategy games, marrying the best aspects of every previous iteration with some of the more supernatural elements introduced in Warhammer I & II.
With a much-needed overhaul of the games diplomacy system, a breathtakingly beautiful campaign map, and a nuanced and respectful approach to the source material, Three Kingdoms is a highwater mark for both the series and the genre.
It’s the kind of game that will keep you up late into the night, and one you will spend the next day thinking about.
It represents the culmination of almost 20 years of iteration and represents the distilled essence of both turn-based and real-time strategy at its very best.
