Probably my favorite Warhammer 40k game
Gog doesn't allow review editing, so I'm writing this on the ASSUMPTION that at some point, the devs get the bugs ironed out. The devs have a reasonably good track record with this kind of thing, or else I wouldn't be bothering to write this, but I can absolutely understand people who played it at launch being frustrated with the technical state of the game. It's not great. The game is full of bugs and glitches, with non-functional abilities, immortal enemies, uncompletable quests, buggy AI, and more. I found it playable, but as with all technical issues, your experience may be very, very different. That aside, it's probably the most fun Warhammer game I've played. They do a great job of setting up the atmosphere and the tone of the world. By setting the player as a Rogue Trader, essentially a regular human with lots of political power, you're able to show the star players of the IP (Space Marines, evil cults, various aliens, etc.) as massive threats to normal people, while still giving the player a plausible way to beat them (you are, after all, hiring the best companions with the best gear). It also helps the writing, because as a Rogue Trader, you have a lot more freedom than most Warhammer 40k characters, leading to a story that has a lot more versatility than most 40k fiction. You're not just whipping out a chainsword and screaming "FOR THE EMPRAH" every time you see someone like in most Space Marine stories, you're actualy engaging with various political factions and trying to figure out how to resolve a situation in a way that you want. Some people might find that kind of thing tedious, but I really enjoy it, and it's where this game shines. The combat system is a bit unintuitive at times, but the learning curve mostly matched the difficulty curve in my play through, with the exception of a few mid-game bosses which utterly stomped me a time or two. Overall, great game, hope they fix it, would happily buy a sequel or DLC. In a year or two.
