Probs best non-RTS Warhammer 40k game
However, it's a very low bar to clear. It gets a lot of things right, the atmosphere, the visuals, the sound design. It's very cinematographic too, and still looks decent. However, it can get very repetitive, and once the woah-that's-cool-factor wears off you will start getting tired of the very similar looking grey and brown environments. That's an issue with most Warhammer content though - bright colours tend to be this universe's kryptonite, but you could do better than this game too for sure. The final stretch is better in this respect, and it mixes things up with battle design too, but you need to get to it first. And, more importantly, the GoG version omits multiplayer, which was good fun back in the day. If you intend to play online go with the Steam version. The biggest draw of this game is basically to experience Warhammer 40k Dawn of War games from the point of view of a Space Marine. And the game does do that - at its best it really makes you feel like a right badass, but it can also really drag on at its worst. There are also some minor technical hitches that don't seem to have been fixed. Nothing game-breaking, but you might get stuck on scenery or experience an odd audio stutter. Some other issues, like crashing, can be fixed by turning on V-Sync. The game is also relatively short - you would probably get through the campaign in about 4-5 hours if you know what you're doing. Given all this it definitely is NOT worth the non-sale price for most. Even at -75% it is a bit of a tough sell for non-Warhammer fans, but you can definitely do a fair bit worse.
