Let’s pretend there was no such thing as the Total War series of games. Let’s pretend A Total War Saga: Troy was just called Super Iliad Guys – which it should be called anyway – but had otherwise come out of the blue exactly as it is. In this mythical world, I would be completely blown away by Super Iliad Guys, with its astonishing two-for-one of a cracking RTS game stacked on top of a sweeping military 4X game, and its first class, ochre-heavy art direction. But I would also wonder why, after all the time and effort it had clearly taken to make something so impressive, its makers hadn’t taken another year and made it perfect.
