Man, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love this game!

-UI is top notch, it's easy to interpret and distill the vast amount of split second info being presented
-Audio cues are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ON POINT! For instance: your faction HQ will call out specific info on enemy force dispositions, and give cardinal directions at the same time... very useful when you're in the thick of it.
-Sound design is sicker than COVID 19
-Voice acting is unparalleled. Seriously Relic, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!
-The unit models are unbelievably detailed and intricate
-Amazing and well-thought out xenos army unit rosters (tell me where else in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world you're going to be able to use Striking Scorpions and Wraithseers?!)
-Graphics are a thing of wonder, and that's an understatement
-Perfect balance of base building/economy/combat
-Love the need for razor sharp reflexes and decision making... game constantly pushes you to be more proficient (It's a very difficult game, and that's good!)
-Gargantuan battles... with a pop cap of 250, it truly feels apocalyptic as hell out there!
-1 thing that pissed me off to no end in the previous titles was the incessant AI tactic of uncapturing your hard-earned capture points, but in this game, it doesn't seem like the AI tries to do that as much... The last match I played, the AI straight up pulled a decapitation strike and tried to take out my base in the first 5 minutes... it was terrifying and incredibly refreshing to experience a DOW game that was straight up trying to murder your soul rather than just take all your ♥♥♥♥.
-The elite system, coupled with the army doctrines, ensures that not only will you be able to customize an army to your play style, but you will also be able to experiment with hybrid builds and such to the extent that no two matches will be the same... (from your specific faction's standpoint) this translates to high replayability, which is essential for multiplayer.
-Did I mention the voice acting???

In summary, this is my favorite DOW game; Hell, it's one of the best RTS games I've ever played! Just buy this thing already!
