Is this game worth it?

Just want some honest opinions is Pharaoh worth the 60 bucks

On the campaign side there are plenty of new mechanics: court intrigues, civil wars, worshipping of the various gods, resource bartering (identical to Troy but I count it as a plus), outpost building, and game-changing ambitions in the path of a great ruler of the past.

On the battle side, tactics suffer from a lack of unit variety due to the Bronze Age limited tech (the saddle wasn't invented so cavalry wasn't a thing), but the dynamic weather conditions and special terrain types help with keeping things fresh so far.

Definitely not worth the full price, if you want to buy it use a site like CDkeys or something and get it for cheaper, I got it for £35 which in my view reflects the content. It's a TW: Saga release in terms of content as it stands currently.

The EU version can't be activated in the US when bought from CDkeys.

Let's just say that you will get more bang for your buck spending it on a ♥♥♥♥♥ in the north.

Ehhhh. So it is basically like a Troy 2.0, they did add in some interesting mechanics, like the ability to customize your bodyguard units, court intrigue, unit formations are back too.
However, I think the full price is only for people who:
1. Like historical Total Wars.
2. Enjoy the time setting (which is always important)
Otherwise, wait to grab it at discount.

I guess it depends on if $60 is a lot money to you. I remember paying $80 for NES games in 1985 so I have no clue why the price seems absurd to a lot of people.

Can you not just use a VPN or something or am I being stupid?

Think that video game prices have barely budged in almost 30 years, especially relative to production values.

Nope Total War Warhammer 2 has more selection and variety of Egyptian units than this game has in terms of all factions combined. This game is a Total War light for the full price even the other gameplay and ingame events are boring and not worth it.
