Top 15 Best PC Games

Creative Assembly released Total War: Pharaoh on October 11, 2023, marking a return to historical themes after recent mythological-focused titles. Initially, the game faced mixed reviews due to its limited map, which included only Egypt, Canaan, and parts of Anatolia. However, a free update expanded the map to cover classical Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Greece, introducing new factions such as Babylon, Assyria, Elam, Urartu, the Sea Peoples, and Troy. The gameplay mechanics were refined to include distinct kingship and government systems, enhanced diplomacy, and trade resources, allowing for a more strategic experience. Total War: Pharaoh is recognized as a standout entry in the series and the broader strategy game genre.
