This new entry returns to the essence of the series roots, a more cartoonish run and gun experience with the multiplayer resulting in less camping and more essential arcade fast-paced action we’ve come to expect. However, it’s also very shaky and plagued with problems that need to be addressed quickly. On the other-hand, the campaign in the same streamline of the black ops storyline is excellent once again and zombies rocks like always bringing many new things to the table. A very welcome addition!

Predatory monetisation and gacha systems need to die.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Outclasses the fantastic CKII in just about every way, easily one of the greatest grand strategies available.

An absolute horror masterpiece. Some of the most galvanizing atmosphere and storytelling to be found in gaming.

Did people even bother to give this game a chance? The ratings here are atrocious. Not as tight as the first but immensely impressive and enjoyable over its lengthy playtime. With a vastly improved combat system and diverse game systems such as kingdom building and skirmishes, it expands the formula while staying true to the essence of the original, a worthwhile sequel.
