3. Total War: Rome 2
The Total War franchise has been around for awhile now, and with good reason—they're damn good games. The Total War series has been rock solid with every iteration and Rome 2, which sees the series' return to Classic Antiquity, is expected to be bigger and better than ever.
This time around, every faction will offer a distinct look and feel so you won't feel like you're marching an army of Roman clones when you're in charge of an army of Vandals or barbarians from Saxony. Battlefields have also been enlarged to include naval units, allowing for wide scale assaults upon cities by the sea—bringing to mind scenes from Game of Thrones and Troy.
This time around, you'll also be inclined to pay closer attention to your generals and even to your individual platoons as the game is set to include a variety of RPG-like features to allow you to customize your own distinct army.
