Total War: Attila Review – The Digital Fix

With each game in the Total War series, The Creative Assembly attempts to more closely simulate the concept that gives the series its name. The latest iteration, Total War: Attila, is an impressive entry; visually spectacular, grand in scope, and with a depth in gameplay which is complex but never overwhelming. It’s probably one of the biggest, grandest games in the series, but it still isn’t quite one of the best, let down as it is by dodgy pacing and lack of direction. It also suffers some of the traditional Total War problems – such as an inscrutable diplomacy system and long wait times – but is nevertheless a worthy instalment which should please old fans and newcomers alike.
