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.

Nope
I've been a fan of the 40k setting since ~2000. It's my favourite sci-fi setting, by all rights I should be hooked on this game. And yet I can't get into it. Owlcat seems to think constant flowery, overly verbose writing is good writing. When there's a noble in his comfortable chambers trying to impress someone, or if it's narrative description, sure, that works. When a naval officer is trying to maintain order in a rapidly escalating situation and slowly, theatrically vomits up a stream of dramatic adjectives, it absolutely does not. All it makes me think of is a bottom tier writer being very impressed with himself because he blew way past the acceptable word count and married a thesaurus, which as one might suspect absolutely destroys immersion. That works hand in hand with the voice acting. Everyone is giving a very slow, theatrical performance. Again, that works for some characters and situations, but for most it does not. I don't blame the VA themselves for this, but whoever directed them completely missed the tone for nearly every character in nearly every scenario. And as a minor pet peeve: every single time the RT's family name is uttered Von Valancius the speaker emphasises the Von part, which is the exact opposite of how to use that word in a name. It also seems the writers mixed up 40k and Dune when describing Navigators. Maybe the lore was changed at some point but in my older black library novels every Navigator is described as a pale, frail human with a third eye. That's the only mutation any of them have in any of the material I've read, whereas in this game if they mutate like a particularly ambitious Chaos champion. These things together just ruin the narrative for me. When it comes to gameplay, well, it's Owlcat. Rather than easing you into a progression system you get a whole bunch of unexplained options at once and have to spend a good hour reading tool tips to get an idea of what you're doing. Personally I'm kind of done with that.

Good game needs more bugfixes though
I've played both of owlcats previous games and have enjoyed them both immensly though I didn't play them on luanch I heard they were both buggy. That being said this game currently has a lot of bugs, the majority being visual bugs so far with only one requiring a load of a previous save. If you aren't ok with playing an rpg with a buggy experience wait for a few months of patches. I would also like to add that this game has a lot of in depth mechanics like their two pathfinder games so if you're expecting a more casual experience this game might not be for you.

The worst Owlcat game
It started good. The prologue and first 2 chapters are great and I thought that maybe it was the game that will make me like Warhammer, the same way they made me like Pathfinder with their previous games. But no, chapter 3 is awfull and after that, the game have nothing interesting to offer. The story, companions and endings are boring. The setting is very limited, made to sell figurines and factions. The same as their fantasy counterpart, but with a sci-fi skin. And it could have been worse : there weren't even space orks in it... I'm definitely going to skip their next Warhammer games. Hopefully they'll succeed in making me like The Expanse...
