I've always been aware of the existence of the fabled yet elusive Warhammer 40k games. Many years ago, I've listen to Space Marine's soundtrack and I knew people who played the tabletop, but I never had a proper introduction to the world. This was it for me, it started with the soundtrack so distinct from what I imagined anything W40k would sound like. It was sold to me as big men with massive shoulder pads fighting in even bigger cathedrals; I had no idea about the Adeptus Mechanicus. I fell in love with their mechanized look that removes almost anything that makes them human (although a lot of them are clearly human). I decided to make my move and buy the game. Granted I've not played much, but what I've played it is enough to tell me that I love this game like have not played one in many years. Everyone is Cyberpunk 2077 and here I'm replacing my limbs with laser guns. I feel like I'm doing awfully at the game most of the time, however, there is a great feeling of accomplishment in upgrading my Magos and discovering more and more of how the worshipping of the Omnissiah works. I've been converted, take me, make one with the machines.
I was quite hyped for this game, the idea of diving into an artist's mind is amazing even if the mad painter/artist is a bit overused. I would enjoy if the game wasn't just pretty something more. I didn't expect Silent Hill or Rule of Rose out of this, but I expected a more involved and organized story. You know every little, so there is a lack of connection betwen what is going on what is happening. The worse part is that the game is made out of, mostly, jumpscares. There is some tension in the small corridors of the house and when the celling is vey low, but other than that is just jumpscares. I also disliked the constant use of the same paintings. I supposed they're meant to be symbolic but it gets tiresome after a while. There are better horror games out there and if you want a mysterious walking simulator play Dear Esther.
