So, I know not everyone's experience wasn't like mine, citing the glitches, crashes and performance issues. I was one of the lucky ones that suffered minimally and the worse I had was slight frame rate issues, which I solved by turning fog and lighting to low. After that, it ran quite well.

I am running my game on a Geforce 1660 Super on a new PC I got, just to play this game.

Playing the prologue, it is an amazing tutorial I wish was in previous TW: Warhammer titles with how it explains mechanics and the intricacies of the game, while also giving proper set up to the main campaign.

I only played two factions at launch: Kislev and then Khorne. I touched upon the Legion of Chaos, but I was overwhelmed by my options in units I may recruit I chose to step away and start with a daemon faction. I played Grand Cathay and Tzeentch and Slannesh in multiplayer

Personally, the campaign was great the first time through, but going in the second time, it wasn't as fun. Though, I played Khorne afterwards, which given his faction mechanics, matters on the campaign map quite trivial. Though, expanding is punishing when I first played due to the campaign mechanics, but at the time of me writing this, they implemented some solutions to counter it.

The settings are very pretty, especially the Chaos Realms where there is so much to look at and see. The snow maps are quite blinding when I played and made units, both mine and the enemy hard to see, I had to squint in order to look at the map. Thankfully, I could change the outline so it was easier to see them in that terrain, but that's like a band-aid on a severe wound, I wish they fix it in the future.

Gameplay wise, The AI was an interesting challenge, I tried to exploit it sometimes, but it proved to be quite clever and smart. I had some issues with unit path finding where my units or the enemy would have very questionable routes, though it rarely happened. The overhauled sieges are fun to play through, but the "Boss fights" can be pretty tough and quite an endurance match, but they gave you the option to skip it, which is good.

VERDICT
Personally, I liked what I played and had fun with the units and factions they provided. There is some sight problems I can personally get past, but I hope they get fixed soon. The main campaign in the base game is a "Play once and put down" kind of affair. I can't really see a reason fo replaying the game unless it's to try out new mechanics before the "Immortal Empires" map drops.

Fun fast paced gameplay with plenty of mobility and giant robots, which feels great to play and be in, plenty of customization options to personalize your character and Titan. One of my favorite shooters.
The story is "Short and sweet" As much as I'd want it to be longer, it is quite well done by Respawn Entertainment.
Here's hoping for Titanfall 3 one day

Personally a favorite of mine (until the next expansion)
I thought fantasy would be cool, but i wondered how they would go about it. I never knew about Warhammer Fantasy until CA chose to make it their next title. Because of the game, I have gotten into the Warhammer Fantasy universe and looked into the lore and appreciated the smaller details they put into it. As well as how well they adapted the tabletop units into this game.

I'm sure other Warhammer fantasy fans appreciate more details they added that went over my head, but overall it is a solid game.
I would however not say it's for everyone,mainly people with little patience. Some people who play Starcraft or other faster paced RTS games will call it "Sluggish" (much like my friends i gifted it to)
But if you begin to look more into it and appreciate the finer details, and the slower methotical gameplay, it's a treat. and if you own the first one, it's a big desert!
