A very good game but too much centralized on Ramesses. The other playable factions are weak compared to is. And also please otpimize the game, too much memory leak and crashes after some hours of play.

While Pharaoh definitely nailed the visuals - particularly for the regions in Egypt which are stunning, the gameplay is admittedly a bit hollow. There’s plenty of features and mechanics but there’s negligible synergy or interplay between them. There’s no depth to explore. It feels like you have a lot of options but rarely a compelling reason to choose one over another besides things related to resource settlements. I never found myself planning things beyond a couple turns or being at a crossroa

I’m still on the fence. But I’m becoming more hopeful after watching a lot of the mechanics. I also like the Character faction leader unit cards. I’m just hoping the faction leader general unit isn’t Saga based and can be destroyed like a regular unit. Don’t need single units that can wipe entire armies. It’s looking good.

Firstly, this game promises to transport players to ancient Egypt, a rich and fascinating historical setting that's rarely explored in the gaming world. The prospect of commanding armies in the midst of this iconic civilization, with its grand pyramids, majestic Nile River, and complex societal structures, is incredibly enticing.

This new Total War immerses us in Egypt, which is very interesting, and the graphics are particularly well done. A very good strategy game, I recommend it.

A new Total War, a new universe, new epic battles! I admit I'm still too busy on TW:W3 to turn to another one, but if the reviews are good when it's released, it'll surely be one of my future purchases, hehe!

6/10 where is ROME? the only deal breaker it'll be if moses is in the game and starts unrest in your civilization

For me, these games are just skins on an old game. A bit like fifa, but better. This soup hasn't appealed to me for a long time, but if you're a customer, there's no doubt it'll be a good soup.

Total War PHARAOH is pure strategy game bliss! I'm already hooked, building my empire in ancient Egypt. The attention to historical detail is mind-blowing and the battles are epic. I can't wait to conquer the Nile!
