Price: £44.99 from Steam (fave.co/2L8yJLE)
TotalWar:ThreeKingdomsdrawsfromthe
quasi-historical 14th-century Chinese novel
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is
fitting because it’s a good game for falling in
love with the strategy genre. Three Kingdoms
takes the right cues from developer Creative
Assembly’s Warhammer games and emphasizes
personality. Everything from maps and skill trees
to battlegrounds brings ancient China to life in
ways few other games have managed before. It
also stands out thanks to a comparatively intuitive
interface that communicates most important
information through a system of pop-ups.
