At first the negative reviews of this game put me of trying it. I have played all ToW and and still think Empire is the best but that isw for another review. I had so many restarts of Pharaoh, trying to work it out, how to build and how to stop rebellions and build armies and reources. Yes the units are limited, yes the game is challenging but I am so glad that I finally ignored the negative reviews and tried. This is a great and challenging game.

I was put off buying this due to the negative reviews, but I've been really enjoying it. The hate it's received feels undeserved IMO. It's not the best TW ever but its a solid game and I had fun playing it.

If you buy this game you will also get Pharaoh Dynasties which is another game , so you get 2 games for the price of 1. Dynasties adds Greece (Troy best imo) but don't get happy yet. As the AI is broken and I do not think they will fix it as it was released some time ago and same bugs and issues are still rampart For example Troy gets a bug that blocks you from accessing the court. It's ALMOST game-breaking as civil war will hit 99%. But on the other side, the AI is so broken that other factions only pop up stacks of peasant units so you can deal with it. But man... the game is broken. It is very well made from a historical point of view in the Bronze Age Period, Hittites / canaan are awesome. But it's just eye-candy. After you beat the threats near you that was it.. like it was scripted only for your region. From so many factions no one does nothing it feels empty. HOWEVER. For 15-20$ on sale I have to give this a positive rating as it does offer enough content for that price. BUT DO NOT PAY MORE THAN 20$. A shame CA releases broken games like this, being a big company and all :) Really hope they will put more care in Medieval 3.

This game has received a lot of negative reviews since its release, and I agree with some of these reviews, and one example of them is the lack of a personal ID, because this game has almost no special changes compared to older versions of Total War, and it can almost be said that Total War Saga Troy has been slightly updated. Except for five or six very minor changes, the rest of the content is repetitive and lacking in innovation. This is the most important negative aspect of the Total War Pharaoh, and it is a very strong reason for negative reviews. But it is worth mentioning that the game also has positive points, such as excellent graphics, beautiful environmental design, a diverse and interesting storyline, and gameplay changes that have made the game very attractive. Despite the negative points that Total War Pharaoh has,But after the release of the new update of the game, Total War Pharaoh Dynasties, it can be said that the game Total War Pharaoh still has the potential to be in the category of good Total War games and can be transformed into a work of art with separate updates and DLCs (of course, all of this is just my personal opinion and others may have a completely different opinion, which is still respectable) and despite all these criticisms, This game is also beautiful and worth trying. For me, it is one of the popular Total War series and I never get tired of playing it. According to my personal taste, this game, like all the games in the Total War series, is attractive and well-made and can keep you engaged for months and even years because it has fascinated me so far. Many thanks to Creative Assembly for all the attractive and beautiful versions of Total War. I hope that this beautiful series will continue and that many other attractive Total Wars are in the works, and that you will make your fans happy by releasing new versions of the Total War series every year.🙏🌹❤
