With the current state of the game it's not worth €60,-

The game has a lot of bugs and performance issues on the campaign map. I've had my lord getting stuck in the sky multiple times and units simply not responding to commands making it very annoying to actually fight a battle.

The main campaign is also very boring after having played it twice. The game forces you to play the way the it wants without much, if any, freedom at all from the player.

Alt tabbing has always been an issue in total war games, but never as bad as in this one. Very often when I alt tab out of my campaign to look something up my game crashes or I have graphical bugs in the form of huge black squares on my screen.

I also feel like the game currently lacks content, atleast untill Mortal Empires. The game is not worth buying untill they release Mortal Empires so we can actually play a grand campaign.

Lastly I want to talk about the "Blood for the blood god" DLC which every game has had. Now you only need to buy it for one of the games but it baffles me how you litteraly have maps in this game that have litteral blood fountains but including blood / gore is not possible in the standard edition? Seems kind of like BS to me and their excuse for it has always been weak.

In Short:
Game has a lot of bugs, performance issues and crashes making it very annoying to play at times.
The main campaign gets very boring after your second playthrough.
General lack of content.

Not worth to buy at the moment, wait for Mortal Empires. Maybe buy it then when it's discounted at €40,-
