Free Game Alert: SHOGUN 2 Total War Available on Steam Until May 1st

[Raevenlord]

Within the #stayhome initiative, free games are one of the best ways for us techies to pass our time whilst giving our computers time to rest in-between Folding@Home calculations. If you're looking to get your PC to render beautiful 2D and 3D scenarios set in feudal Japan, one of the best entries in recent years in the Total War series of PC strategy games, SHOGUN 2, is now available for free until may 1st on Steam. Just navigate to the store page for the game to download it.

SHOGUN 2 has been very well received by the PC gaming community, sitting currently with a 90 Metascore based on critic reviews and a 8.4 average user score. It's widely considered to be the best entry in the series after the legendary Medieval Total War 2, and that's saying a lot for this genre of games. Have some hundred hours to spare? This is the free game to get. And if you're looking at other Total War entries, Creative Assembly is currently holding a sale on Steam that brings prices down for select titles in the franchise.

Nope. Just "add to account" and that will be all. The DLCs are not free though, but at least in my country almost all of them are 75% off...

This is pretty much the best overall total war game released in recent memory the AI is fairly good in battles and on the campaign map. Difficulty level scales well and a campaign can be challenging without being full of bullshit encounters. essentially if you ever wanted to try a total war game this is the one to do it with. It's a great entry point in the series to teach you everything you need to know without giving so much unit variety an extra bits to make it feel intimidating.

This.

And the DLC especially the expac is really nice. It advances the timeline and is a pretty immersive The Last Samurai simulator guns galore...Just dont forget to mod in Tom Cruise somewhere.

also if you liked Shogun 1...nr 2 is like a 1 on steroids. Refined, expanded, and a great campaign.
