Critically broken. Buyer, beware!

First thing first, I own the game on Steam, not GOG :( Second, this is not a game you should buy on impulse, if you think it's going to be based on the actual Rogue Trader TTRPG. It's only superficially so; more like a 40K skin pulled over a Pathfinder core. Third, the game is clearly nowhere near finished. It's very buggy, with bugs ranging from cosmetic to game-breaking, with the bugs becoming increasingly severe the longer you play and progress in the game. Many talents don't work as advertised, or just don't work at all. Additionally, the UI is woefully clunky and inadequate, feeling barely a step above the UI in Fallout 1, a game more than 25 years old. But what about the game itself? Apart from boss battles, combat is a painfully boring slog, with each encounter dragging on for ages; and as soon as you finish an encounter, you are often tossed right into another one. The story and writing aren't bad, but are unfortunately tacked onto a game that is. Stay away for at least a year.

Great atmosphere, some problems

I'm a huge fan of Owlcat Games, I actually consider Pathfinder:WotW as the greatest cRPG ever made. And while I liked Rogue Trader, it is definitely not on the same level. The Pros + The atmosphere, tone and art design of the Warhammer universe is captured quite well + I encountered no major bugs, only some minor inconveniences like localization errors, so the main criticism at release is gone + The companions are good (including the voice acting), I'll remember Argenta and her field of burning heretics for a long time The Cons - Beginning with Act 3 and especially Act 4 the game feels rushed. Less attention to detail, less explaining links in the texts, more "filler quests" etc. Also the companion quest lines often end in an unsatisfactory way. - In general the fights are way too easy (high difficulty). For me, who values the Pathfinder games for their complexity and challenge, this was probably the most dissapointing point. There were exactly two difficult fights: Yremeryss and Uralon (the latter being on the other extreme, in my first try my group was dead before the first turn of my first (!) character had ended) - Adding to this, the overall balancing is one of the worst I've ever seen in an RPG. The efficiency of builds can change dramatically over the course of the game. Soldiers and Psyker are pretty weak in the first half and more than one Psyker in your party is suicide. On the other hand, melees are basically useless in the second half. A lot of talents are underpowered, some (like Jaes origin talents) are broken. And then there's sweet Cassia. My first half of the game can be summed up with: If Cassia survives until it's her turn, I've won the fight. All in all, a 7-8/10 game, for Warhammer fans and people who play every decent RPG under the sun. For the rest there is always Baldurs Gate 3.

Starts off strong, tapers off

The game starts off strong, really strong but as you progress through the polish wears off and it becomes more barebones and buggy. The difficulty gets more and more inconsitent as well. In addition, the leveling system is very obtuse making levelling up feel like a chore instead of something fun. I honestly put off spending level ups because it was just too much of a hassle to grind throught he menus and read all the badly explained options for 5 characters one after the other. Useful gear is very rare, I averaged about 1 gear upgrade per character per 'act'. I'd say this game has the makings of something great, but it needs a bunch of extra work to get it there

Strong start, weak finish

The story starts strong and after something like 60 hours and 80% of the game done . . . I'm just tired of it. There's still some interesting stuff going on, but it's getting less relatable and interesting. Go to some place. Kill for a while. Leave. Non-combat gameplay is fine. Make some rolls, rule an empire, it's more Kingmaker than Wrath of the Righteous, thankfully. It's fine and supported the story well for some time. Combat will either appeal to the min-maxer who loves stacking buffs for an hour and micromanaging every character, or it'll annoy with a "not another battle!" feeling every time you hit a speedbump. That's personal preference, you know what you like. Some design decisions are baffling. I couldn't find a location once because I had to go back the way I came. Confusing, but whatever, mistakes happen. Then I found a maze where the exits don't always go to the same location. Between each screen transition, a loading screen. They were small areas, they could've all fit on one map, but they needed a full scene load. Do you want to go from the bridge to the planetary map? Loading screen. Planetary to system? Loading screen. Guess which screens you'll be cycling through constatnly. There are some neat concepts, like the rumor system, but a lot of the game is traveling around, on foot or in space, looking for the next interaction. This isn't about linearity, this is pixel hunting on the map once you've cleared it out to find the poorly marked path to the next area. From a terrible leveling system to gameplay loops that feel tacked on (the colony management is very inoffensive, but a time-sink) it's just not a fun game. If you need a 40k fix . . . it might work for you. I found it had the Star Wars problem, where it needed to explain everything and strip away all mystery. But, it's a huge time-killer. If you have too much time and spare game budget, this will kill your time. It's one of those "Have I been playing all day?" games.

Buggy and unfinished

Even if it weren't for the horrendous bug that in some cases completely prevent progress, the game's fourth and fith acts have are rushed with little interactivity and clearly have not been playtested.
