More about Total War: WARHAMMER II
Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 40.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 93 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 71 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,968 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 1,498 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 40.9 hours; clearing it takes 801, which is 20 times the campaign.
The rating rests on 121,510 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
My personal favorite of the Total War games. Limitless replayability, many factions to choose from or go against, and well realized tactical battles. Improved on the excellent first in the series in every way, and honestly is just more fun than the 3rd.

I mean... Do we really need Total Warhammer: 40K if this here installment is ranged-biased already, and twenty rats wielding recoil-operated ordnance are worth about two hundred knights clad in full plate head to toe and riding battle cattle worth a small demense?
Welp, you all know what CA did. With that approach, I don't see a point in giving them your money UPD: Congrats to the community, THE ORIGINAL (you know what) 2 IS BACK ON STEAM!
