Summary
Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition has launched to a wave of negative reviews on Steam. At the time of counting, only 19% of 677 user reviews on its Steam page were positive.

A comparison of a unit card drew discussion: a bearded mounted samurai from the original is described by players as having a nose and beard that look like a different helmet shape in the new version, and some newly added images have been questioned for anomalies such as six fingers. However, whether these issues were caused by generative AI remains a judgment based on the visuals. On the technical side, players documented bugs that existed in the original as well as new faults in the new version, and many feedback posts argue the new version performs even worse than the old one. The new version also costs $10 more than the original. Meanwhile, the original Total War: Shogun 2 has been delisted from the Steam store, so new players can no longer choose to buy the old version there; those who already owned the original can still download and play it.
