    The fact this seems to be one of the first computer games to delve into the wealth of W40K lore and actually be a great RPG/tactical battle game as well means this is instabuy for me. Can't wait till release day!

It was difficult to keep myself away from the beta later on but I managed and now we are almost there, release next week. Finally a proper WH40k rpg

    Good early review video. Thanks for pointing out the slow start to the game and how things pick up later. I usually give up on a game if it doesn't resonate with me after an hour or so. Knowing that things will improve means I will persevere past that point. The game, after the slow start, sounds like just the sort of game I enjoy, even though I'm not a big fan of the Warhammer 40K universe. It's now on my wishlist thanks to this video :)

      You're not alone - if I didn't force myself to keep going, I might have given up too! It's a shame, because it does find it's rhythm shortly after the prologue - I just felt it could have got their quicker. There's also just a lot of systems that don't get introduced even in the first chapter - so some exciting things to look forward to once you get your teeth stuck in.

    I'm just glad they included ship combat. The early images I saw focused on the ground battles and didn't show any ship fighting. I hate it in RPGs when the party or protaginst has access to an armed ship but ship combat is limited to cutscenes instead of having playable ship combat.

    I was enthralled from the very beggining and loved the bits of action that was scattered throughout. This is from someone with zero warhammer knowledge, so maybe thats why.
    Our opinions converge on just about everything else tho, absolutely amazing game, Addicting combat, atmosphere that reqlly transports you to the location.

      Once you get through the prologue which shovels Warhammer details on you at each turn, the game does ease off and its very enjoyable even with a lack of any Warhammer knowledge. If you're a fan of combat of Turn Based combat in CRPGs - this is one to keep an eye on. Think Black Isle Fallout games, but with even more misery, war and religious fanaticism.

      It'll definitely scratch the XCOM itch. The combat doesn't feel as refined as other WH40K tb games (ie chaosgate - which is another solid pick if you like XCOM) but I find RT really fun. The low time to kill and boltgun being 10/10 make the tempo of combat feel good, although some fights in big spaces can drag on a bit.

    I think i should point out that you can go Chaos (you even could get chaos companion lately in this case, afaik) or F the Emperium routes in this game. For instance, i formed an alliance with certain Aeldary faction. Played up to 3 act in the beta. So, you can play this game quite different, not only dumb E side. But, combatwise, its kinda easy - once you lvl up a bit and undestand how the math works - you can one turn bosses. But, same things are possible in their other games. Tiranids are ingame, btw. But, in any case, its definitely got WH 40k feel mostly right. As for the protag being useless at start - its your problem, not the game. Psykers are op, but Cassia is even more op af. P.s. but if someone is having problems with reading stuff - the game have a lot of text, like their other games. Still, i would choose it over pos like BG3 easily, esp if you like WH 40k setting.
