Sid Meier's Civilization V vs Total War: Shogun 2
Sid Meier's Civilization V
Sid Meier's Civilization V may just be every Civilization games before it, but it does it so well that many fans have touted this game as possibly the best Civilization game ever. The gameplay has been greatly improved mainly because the game has a lot more new game modes, a better variety of leaders, fun scenarios and a wide range of units that are balanced surprisingly well. The AI in this game is still as badly-predictable as before though, but its multiplayer aspect is as epic as ever, especially if you can find a group of players who knows how to play the game well enough to play with you. Aside from the breathtaking graphics and musical scores, there are plenty of mods you can use or you can easily make some of your own too.Sid Meier's Civilization V provides you with all the best features from its previous games while adding in some fun improvements of its own. It may not be perfect, but it's possibly the best Civ game so far.
Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking original game, Shogun: Total War. Set in the darkest age of Feudal Japan right after the collapse of a unified government (in 16th century to be exact), many warring clans have risen through the chaos and out of them, 10 legendary warlords, or Daimyos, have their eyes set on the coveted position of shogun, but only one of them will be able to reunite a warring island.The gameplay is pretty similar to the original game. The campaign map features a turn-based, Risk-style gameplay while the actual battles themselves (rendered in glorious 3D) are played out in real-time. However, this time around, the game is filled with a ton of new units, including massive warships, as well as a more in-depth strategic gameplay based on the ancient texts in Sun Tzu's Art of War. There are multi-stage sieges, unique hero units who can be improved through standard RPG methods, and that the campaign map is now in 3D as well and can be rotated whichever way you like.
The campaign in Total War: Shogun 2 can also be played cooperatively (2 players), but if you truly want to test your skills, you can engage in epic online battles with up to 8 other players.
This game does the very first Total War game justice and is the sort of game that fans of the series would greatly enjoy. Also, considering that the game came out more than 5 years ago, the graphics in the game is still pretty relevant today... so I guess, that's another bonus.
