Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2

All thanks for developers Not better than previous part but just another Yet still beautiful

yeah nice. love the game, wish they made a new one. still holds up till this day

Pretty good, some minor quibbles with a few mechanics but overall I'm rather satisfied!

nice addition to your collection if you like W40k and/or spaceship strategy games ;)

GAMEPLAY I've been having a lot of fun with the Tyrannids. I played a little bit of chaos too. Space combat feels surprisingly fun. I tried Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and was a bit underwhelmed with the kind-of-turn-based system, and Sins of the Solar Empire overwhelmed me. This system seems to have whelmed me just right. I absolutely suck at it, but I'm having fun. The difficulty options seem highly customisable too. I tried messing with it after dying in the tutorial twice and I suppose it did something. I'm not fully in love with the renown/levelling-up (feels too slow), but it doesn't detract much. I like the solar system domination; painting space pink feels good. What does cause immense frustration is how little you can zoom out. It somehow feels claustrophobic, and I should feel agoraphobic. And I've experienced some prolongued freezes clicking the New Ship button. MODS Also, the game doesn't seem super modable (I don't know if it's the engine or the community), judging by how many mods I found, but it does seem to have a pretty big one on Nexus and Moddb which I do plain on trying out. Quite recently updated too and, as it increases fleet size, I hope it fixes the zoom. DESIGN The music is incredble — no mechanicus, but the Warhammer feel is there, and so it sounds as absurd as you'd expect. The sense of scale is almost impossible to grasp, as it should be. Giant structures loom around you, too far away for their size. It looks just right. I have experienced some confusion playing the Chaos campaign just because the difference between Imperial and Chaos Ships didn't quite register for me too easily, so there's a thing to look out for. The cutscenes and comms you pick up along the way are also quite nice. Some are paited, others in engine, others pre-redorded — all sounding awsome. Overall, I'm quite excited to try the other factions out and I'm kinda really hoping already that Battlefleet Gothic Armada 3 becomes a thing.
