This game took me by surprise.

I am a major fan of the Warhammer franchise of video games and this one in particular did not hit with me at first.

When i booted up the game and since the start, you are hit with a multiple of information overload that will take a lot of people back at first. However, once I took the time to get it together, learn the mechanics, look what all these stats did and what the de-buffs and buffs did, it all came together to start to become a fantastic experience I cannot put down.

Lets go over pros and cons...

Pros!

Game play - The game play is SOLID and fun and a ARPG style video game. The game play loop is addicting and satisfying. The classes feel varied and run. The weapons truly alter your game play style and you will start to pick your favorites relatively quickly as you explore the different weapons available to you (there is a lot to choose from). You can also alternate weapons with weapon set I and II allowing for diverse game play depending on the situation at hand. This game gets very addicting very quickly and I loved every second of it.

Story And Voice Acting - The story is actually very interesting and the available DLC's do expand on it in a meaningful way. The voice acting is pretty top notch with most characters personalities shining through well. Usually in ARPG's i consider the stories to be fairly forgettable and you tend to focus more on the grind but this game I was interested in knowing what was going to happen next. You also have branching paths you can take choosing between a radical and a puritan thus altering the story and what you will experience based on your actions.

The Loot - The gear you can find in this game is awesome and while confusing at first, you start to understand it very well. Once you do, the combinations are endless. The gear itself is fun and has varied levels of rarity and you also have crafting mechanics and gear upgrading available to you. Overall this game has a super solid gear system and it will keep you playing for a very long time.

The Cons!

Graphics - If you care about graphics in ANY way, you will not find it here. The graphics are nice...but just that. Nice is the best way to describe it. Not great in any way. The character screen will show you more graphically than the actual game play will. The cinematics are BEAUTIFULLY well done, but its not game play graphics at all. Overall this is a very simplistic game graphically speaking.

Combat Jank - The game has some combat jank where sometimes you may or may not use a skill you intend to use randomly, thus resulting in having to wait for a cool down. The animations feel clunky and overall simple, not flashy in any way (at least for melee). There isn't much jank to the game, but the jank that is there is noticeable.

Overall Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor Martyr is a fantastic entry in the Warhammer franchise that was recommended to me on my YouTube channel. As a fan of ARPG's and Warhammer games, i found it to be a very solid entry and is a video game that will keep you hooked for hours on end. I have 42 hours in this game so far and I will easily reach 100+ in due time.
