The release of the new part of the Total War series took place on Thursday, February 17.
Despite the fact that critics received the game quite warmly (on Metacritic it has 88 points out of 100), gamers reacted ambiguously to it. Some users praised her for working out the world and style, others scolded her for bugs and poor optimization. Creative Assembly also conducted a controversial advertising campaign in China, handing out keys to streamers previously unfamiliar with Total War: WARHAMMER III, who then spoilered part of the plot. Because of this, Chinese gamers began to underestimate the game scores.
At the time of writing the news, Total War: WARHAMMER III has a “mixed” rating on Steam (62% of reviews are positive). As for online, it reached its peak on the day of release. At that time, 166,754 people were playing strategy at the same time.
Elden Ring continued to climb to the top of the Steam chart. This time, the pre-order of the title took second place. A week earlier, it was located on the fifth line. Recall that the release of Enden Ring is scheduled for February 24.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human, which was in the lead before, took third place. Right behind it is the Lost Ark Vanquisher Starter Pack — it has risen by five lines in a week. Four other sets for Lost Ark dropped out of the chart.
Cyberpunk 2077 took the fifth place in the ranking. Most likely, the release of patch 1.5 and a 50% discount helped him to return to the Steam chart.
The sixth place went to the pre-order of the deluxe edition of The Witch Queen supplement for Destiny 2. Its release should take place tomorrow, February 22.
The eighth and ninth places in the list of the best—selling games went to T HE KING OF FIGHTERS XV – a fresh fighting game from the Japanese SNK Corporation. The cooperative survival Dread Hunger closed the top ten bestsellers.
