Rome 2’s camera is another problem as it doesn’t always make the fights easy to see. Even with some settings turned down I faced a lot of slowdowns and odd hiccups during the bigger battles. This is both a blessing and a curse: battles feel vibrant and visceral thanks to each soldier living and dying based on their position in the battalion, but it can also mean some chugging. With all of the settings turned up the game is an absolute system hog and will give even the highest end PCs a run for their money.
One of the first things you’ll notice about Total War: Rome 2 is its beauty, assuming you have a powerful PC.
