"On the 13th of June 2025, the Total War franchise turned 25 years old. To celebrate this milestone, here is our coverage of every mainline and saga game released in the quarter-century since Shogun: Total War changed the strategy genre forever."
Total War: Three Kingdoms is without question one of the best Total War titles in the 25-year history of the franchise, which makes it early demise even more unfortunate.
Despite almost four years of Early Access, Striving for Light feels as unpolished, and doomed to obscurity in 2025 as it completes its Early Access journey, as it did in 2021 when it first entered Steam Early Access.
