Shogun 2: Total War is one of the best games in the series. While it focuses solely on medieval Japan, its streamlined design and unique features make it incredibly fun to play. My favorite part has to be the humorous, stylized cinematic cutscenes that play whenever an agent successfully performs an action. It would be cool if all the cities were as detailed as Kyoto instead of just small fortresses, but that's a minor complaint. Divide realm? nothing beats sending a massive peasant phalanx from the Oda clan to victory! ODA SPEAR ASHIGARU SPAM GO BRRRRRRRRR

This is good. Total war titles such as Empire, Brittania and Napoleon are underrated, though this is perfectly rated. Rated well. The replaybility is great, rivalling even CK3 for it's replayibility.
Graphics: 7/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Replayibility: 8/10
Online/multiplayer: No (I don't believe so)
Audio/music/sound-effects: 7/10
Overall: 7.5/10

One of my favorite total war games (as good as Rome II). The multiplayer long co-op is lots of fun in Shogun 2.

Its functional on windows 10 with 1440p etc.
The GUI isnt optimized for 1440p though, bit hard to read unless you run it in 1080p.
Modding support is good.

This is probably the most highly regarded of the Total War series and this will not be a particularly popular take. But if this is the best Creative Assembly and Total War have to offer then frankly, everybody just needs to stop recommending this company's products completely.
From major parts of the game being completely broken (naval battles and yes sieges although they are much better than other titles), selling paid DLCs then forgetting to implement content (kisho ninjas), absolutely garbage AI with absolutely ridiculous economy/diplomacy gimmicks to pretend to put up a fight, to serious/embarassing bugs (agent success rate underflows so the best way to kill a max rank daimyo that takes an entire campaign to develop and is also guarded by a metsuke is to send a rank 1 ninja whose assassinate chance will go below 0% and loop all the way back to above 100%).
It is indeed better than the other TWs I've tried to play in many ways (battle flows and unit behavior, feudal japan setting is a cheatcode). But the fact is this company just sells trash product.
