I love this game. This is just a wonderful, wonderful game... there is an argument to be made that Shogun 2 is perhaps the best balanced of all the Total War games.

Considered by some to be the best Total War game of all time and I can understand how people would come to that conclusion. To this day, this game is gorgeous. The combat is well balanced and hugely satisfying. The campaign mechanics deep and interesting.
