This game is pretty awesome, at least insofar as I've played. I've heard that it drops off further in, but as far as I'm concerned I've more than gotten my money's worth from the first several hours. It's great if you're a fan of Warhammer, and overall I think would work well as someone's first CRPG.

Overall, I’d recommend this game, though there are some decently-sized negatives to bear in mind that I hope will be corrected. If you’re thinking of getting it, go for the standard edition.

In terms of broader positives, the game is a very fun experience. Combat is satisfying and over the top and gorey in an appropriate 40k way. Visually it’s fantastic, and, at least for my system, runs very well.

The story is solid. Not gonna win any Oscars, mind you, but it’s a good story for the setting, even if a lot of beats can feel borrowed from Space Marine 1. At the end of the day, seeing Titus’ story continue after so long is very satisfying.

For issues I have with this game, I think some of the largest problems I’ve had were AI-related. The game feels balanced around co-op rather than solo play, as enemies can, and will, surround you and dump damage if you’re careless, and your AI companions are… not very smart. Same goes for some later enemies that lack reactivity, or at least the “I” of “AI.” This can make some mid-late game fights feel really easy, when they should likely be harder for a plethora of lore and design reasons. Key takeaway: AI isn’t perfect, if you can, go in with friends.

Most combat feels solid, except for, in my opinion, the parry system. It works decently enough a good part of the time, but the animation and timing is a bit clunky and unforgiving, especially when dealing with swarms. It can feel very inconsistent, which is frustrating where in many situations if you miss a single parry you’ll be hit multiple times during the lengthy animation. I hope this is something they can patch up a bit, maybe by allowing some form of reprompting or animation canceling past a certain point? Just spitballing, I’m no designer at the end of the day.

One last problem I want to note is relating to UI in the game. This may be specific to me, but some menus and screens feel incredibly confusing or clunky in execution. This especially is the case for the customization menus, as the way they’re laid out feels almost like it’s incomplete, or not fully polished? It’s hard to describe really beyond “it’s confusing,” though you can figure them out quickly by digging around. This may sound like a weird nitpick, but I think back to how quick and straightforward the customization menus were in the first game, it just feels like overcomplicating where it’s unnecessary.

I have more problems with the game here and there, but they’re either things that are far too minor, or far too restricted to my tastes. I wanted to mention these above items in more detail for awareness more than anything, as they are broadly noticeable throughout the entire experience.

That said, if you like the first game, or like third-person shooters, or just like 40k in general, this is an easy recommend. It’s very fun, cool, and spectacular experience. The devs appear to be committed to delivering a great experience down the line for free for all players as well, and I feel like that kind of thought should especially be appreciated and lauded.

Hands down, one of the best roguelikes out there. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't play it.

This is the most embarrassing launch and post-launch experience I've seen in a long time. Too little content, thought, and effort. Heists are fine, combat is decent, AI is trash, experience is mediocre and certainly not worth $40 for the few missions that are there.

The gall to release a DLC for about half the price of the game itself - when they still haven't made the base game fun or fulfilling in its own right - is embarrassing. This was clearly shoved out the door before it was done. I would refund it if I could.

Don't buy this trash, it's pathetic. Play something good instead like Deep Rock Galactic.

I was looking forward to this game so much. I've put so many hours into the original over the years between different consoles, and this is a massive disappointment. This looks great, but mechanically it feels sluggish and irritating. I just simply find it not fun. Play the original or Dead Space or something along those lines if you're looking to scratch this itch.

I want my money back, and I got this garbage for free.

Terrible writing. Boring, bad story in general. Awful enemy additions. I've been playing Destiny since launch of D1, and I think this is the worst DLC yet, which is impressive if not sad.

Not worth $50, not by a long shot. Spend money on something better, or at least something that has soul.

I really want to like this game so badly. It has fantastic visuals, with especially strong visual storytelling. It feels fun to begin piecing things together! However, the gameplay feels really sluggish and unresponsive in a way I cannot really describe. Absolutely tragic because I feel like with a few more tweaks this could be phenomenal.

It might be worth it grabbing it on sale, but frankly it's frustrating, and there are other games in similar styles that are more fun that you could spend your money on.

I really, REALLY wanted to like this game. It's such a cool idea, after all! But I simply can't recommend it. Stiff combat, horrible visuals, and incredibly repetitive music make this game feel like a slog. I can appreciate what the devs were going for, but the game just really isn't that fun.

The music works, but for a game where you're going to be playing through a lot of the same areas over and over again, given that it's a roguelike, I wish there was a bit more variability. Furthermore, the visuals are horrendous, and actually make me feel sick whenever I play. The first area or two are fine enough, but further along it feels like you're looking at the sun through a greasy sandwich bag. Simply put, it's ugly. The monster designs feel like some garbage pulled from some royalty free developer store, the lighting is bad, the AI is simplistic and boring; it's just not fun.

I like what this game tried to do, but I absolutely cannot recommend it. I respect the developers, and with ideas like these, I look forward to what they're working on next. But don't buy this, there are so many other better roguelikes out there.

The core concepts here are really great, and really interesting! However, this game felt like more of a walking simulator than anything, was far too short, and had puzzles that felt somewhat lackluster. Most puzzles devolved into "find the interactable object," which I understand was likely done for programming and streamlining purposes, but just ends up feeling too restrictive and underwhelming. The message of the game felt half-assed and kind of pressed upon me. I understood what they were going for, but I couldn't agree with their ideas given that I felt as though I hadn't really experienced anything.

I wanted to like this game, but considering I beat it as quickly as I did, it absolutely was not worth the price. A game that tries to blend elements of Portal and The Stanley Parable, yet falls short of both. I look forward to what these devs do down the line, but I cannot recommend this game.

Excellent expansion! In brief, it has great atmosphere, great art direction, and a compelling mystery. I wish there was a bit more in a few places, but honestly, if you liked the base game then this is perfect for you!
