Every time I try this game it's not long before I refund it. I really enjoyed EYE and 40k FPS are few and far between, so I might've had unrealistic expectations of Deathwing when it was first announced, but yeah. The biggest thing that turns me off is the lack of feedback to the player. Regardless of their actual power, most weapons feel weak and lack impact, as does killing enemies. It's hard to tell when you're causing damage, when you've actually killed something, when you're about to attack and such. Some maps have really cheap exploits, while others have you fighting in long sections of corridor. Overall the combat feels very unengaging.

Other than that - it does look great and it is one of those rare 40k FPS games we all seem to want more of. You might not end up feeling quite the same as I do about the combat - I'd say it's worth a look if you're a fan of the franchise.
