Total War: Three Kingdoms received positive reviews from critics, with many specifically praised the character-driven gameplay mechanics and storytelling elements. Chris Wray of wccftech describes the game is “as close to flawless, with a fantastic balance of 4X strategy and character-focused development and emergent storytelling.” IGN’s TJ Hafer stated that Three Kingdoms should serve as the example for all games of its genre going forward. Edwin Evans-Thirlwell of The Guardian stated the game “…is a wonderfully torrid period epic that understands the greatest stories are written about people, not empires.” Jody Macgregor of PC Gamer praised the campaign elements, but found the game still couldn’t break off from longstanding problems the series has always faced, claiming Three Kingdoms “is not the best Total War game but not the worst by a long shot.”
The Romance mode has also been praised as bringing fascinating additions to the game, with many reviewers comparing it to Total War: Warhammer. Preston Dozsa of CGMagazine stated the game “represents the best of both the historical and fantasy sides of the franchise.” Sean Martin from Hooked Gamers stated the game “is the most divergent Total War I’ve seen since Total War: Warhammer… taking what is good in fantasy and using it to complement the historical components of the game.” Denis Ryan of Rock, Paper, Shotgun stated the game draws inspiration from many games that Creative Assembly created in the past, and “despite the resemblance there really is no game which has quite the same combination of elements, nor is there any strategy game that looks this good.”
Ginny Woo of GameSpot praised the art direction and graphical production, and the story is faithful to the source material but nature of the narrative and the tutorial feels like overwhelming history course.[18] Chris Tapsell of Eurogamer also stated the game is “ambitious and sometimes overwhelming.”PCGamesN’s Phil Iwaniuk states the game brings issues along with innovations, noted that despite the game offers a memorable campaign, the real-time battles portion lacks depth compare to rest of the series.
