What players say
CA has lost the plot, and they've lost my support. They delisted Shogun 2, just to replace it on steam with an AI upscaled slop version you are now forced to play. Creative Assembly, you deserve bankruptcy.
1 more review, not recommended
I dont support AI in games. CA is using AI. I dont support that. So i dont support this game.
