Troy, a total war saga. This is my first total war experience and I’m having a blast. Still getting to know all the mechanics though
If this is your first total war experience, then I can see why you like it, but Troy is by far and away NOT the best of the total war games. Honestly, the further back you go, the better they are. Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 are absolutely fantastic games, with deeper mechanics than many of the more modern ones.
Shogun 2 and older games massively lose out on the UX. Especially in combat, the games have much less quality of life.
Furthermore, the newer games simply work towards a somewhat different audience. The studio has clearly picked up on the success of Warhammer and after stumbling both through all of Three Kingdoms and the launch of Troy, they seem to have firmly settled towards the more fantasy direction which is counter to the philosophy of the earlier games.
While I certainly support trying out the older titles too, calling Troy a simply worse game than the older titles is a bit reductionistic and definitely has a personal bias and may be somewhat misleading, even if your advice was in good faith.
