Surprising gem and best holiday present!
I didn't expect this game at all, and I didn't expect a CRPG in WH40K universe to be this good. I don't understand the other reviews, I've seen a couple of minor quests being bugged, but so far at 60+ hours in, this is the best holiday present I could have expected! And yes, the WH40K lore and setting is very well implemented. At least for the path I'm playing.

Well, i finished it
Yeah, performance is bad, and some bugs here and there. But it is still one of the best CRPGs ever made.

Immersive but bad combat and story
What this game does well is adherence to 40K lore and visuals. The atmosphere is fantastic, you really feel like you are a Rogue Trader in 40k environments. That is where the game stops doing things well. The story is incomprehsnible and disorganized, basically being a string of seemingly unrelated events that don't make sense until the last 5 minutes of the game, and even then only with a lot of squinting between the lines and deductions. It feels like the writers just said "wouldn't it be cool if this happened next" and then ran out of budget and desperately tried to tie everything together in the end. Its very much "and then" storytelling instead of "therefore". It relies a lot on exposition. Villains and plot threads get setup and then abandoned suddenly without explanation. The writing is likewise mostly insufferable as well. Its overly verbose most of the time, not quite as bad as Divinity Original Sin but still completely unrealistic in terms of how actual humans talk. There are also tech priests that constantly meander through paragraphs of bizzare, inpenetrable techonospeak, characters that speak in riddles, and other nonsense. Its basically "kid trying to sound smart by using lots of big words" kind of energy. That said, there were a few interesting companions but they hardly spoke enough for it to matter. The combat is easily the worst part. Everytime you level up, you have to tediously read dozens of options, most of which are garbage, a few are ok, and others are totally overpowered. Some talents give +4 to damage when enemies have thousands of health, while others let you stunlock entire armies. And they're also overly complicated too with quadratic formulas for calculating the stat effects. The progression is vertical, getting bigger and bigger numbers and not actually tactical with abilities that allow you to make interesting moment to moment decisions. Its all about optimizing your math to do silly amounts of damage. Very dissapointed.

I wanted to love this
Some fights are unbalanced to the point of not being fun and the developer won't fix it. The ending wasn't satisfying since the character I spent so much time romancing just leaves me. It get lore wrong regarding Navigator houses. Their leader isn't accurately depicted and allows a union with a non-navigator which is banned even for a rogue trader. I won't get the DLC because of these.

Combat is awful and basic
I expected a tactical challenge with lots of decisions to make. Instead I found nothing but getting ambushed by superior number of enemies, spamming characters special attacks (because their basic attacks on average do 2-6 damage) which kill them all in 2 turns, or boss fights that you have to look up the trick to win. There were no tactical decisions. Its designed to spam multiple special attacks, buffs and debuffs every turn. You do it in the right order and combat is over. Its never a back and forth tides of battle encounter. Unless its a boss battle then you have to figure out the trick because its can down your characters in one attack and sometimes attacks twice a turn. Level up choices were very unclear and made no sense, so good luck making a viable build. This should of been a visual novel. An RPG is supposed to give you different ways to solve problems. This game railroads you into situation after situation with no prep or input from you.
