milkandcookiesTW says no to Shogun 2 Complete Edition

A critical review breaks the upload pause as the Total War and Warhammer channel has an unusually busy day.

Channel:

milkandcookiesTW Story of October 14, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The whole channel is running at 156,193 views a day, 9.3 times a normal day (16,844).

The upload pause we reported here has ended with a recommendation withheld. milkandcookiesTW's return is titled "I CANNOT Recommend Shogun 2 Complete Edition - It's Not Very Good," and the review has already drawn roughly 238,000 views since its October 12 release.

The channel picked up about 156,000 views in a day, more than nine times its usual daily audience. That jump comes alongside the new review, though the channel-wide total also includes its older videos.

For a creator whose library moves between Warhammer armies and Space Marine combat, this upload returns to Total War's historical side. The original Total War: Shogun 2, released in 2011, combined turn-based clan management with real-time battles in feudal Japan. The review's description sets out a specific objection: this Complete Edition does not meet the creator's expectations for a remaster of a classic Total War game.

That distinction matters. The target is the treatment of an established game, not simply its setting or premise. And milkandcookiesTW has been separating the package from the underlying appeal elsewhere, too: its preceding Space Marine 2 upload criticizes the one-handed thunder hammer while making room for the Bulwark class.
