Following the announcement of its new historical strategy game Total War: Pharaoh, Creative Assembly released new screenshots of its sandy battlefields.
Sega published its financial results for the 9 months that ended on December 31, 2023, and at least part of them wasn't really great.
Lets pretend that Sega didn't have it's largest number of games release on game pass ever during this quarter by not even mentioning it in your article about how their games underperformed in sales.
Hmm CTRL F ah zero mentions of game pass at all.
I would have blamed their pricing scheme ($115/$120 for a new game? Charging out the butt for the Etrain HD Remasters? Charging extra for New Game Plus?), but some of those games did well anyway. None of the titles mentioned in Q3 exactly set my world on fire, I didn't purchase any of them, maybe no one else did either?
In TechRaptor's Total War: Pharaoh review, you'll find out whether it's the grand return to the glory days of the historical arm of the franchise or not.
Sarwar Ron from NoobFeed writes - Total War: Pharaoh just doesn't impress as much as it should have. The flaw lies only with the magnitude and scope of the game and not with the game's choice of a Bronze Age or ancient Near Eastern setting. The game's atmosphere is what you'll remember most. Still, its mechanics are shallow, the level of replayability is low, the artificial intelligence is useless, and there's no opportunity for strategy in the fights.
I still play Medieval 2.
