Even if it lacks the grand scale of Wrath of the Righteous, I think Rogue Trader has a very good shot at standing neck to neck with it in the future once the inevitable "Enhanced Edition" comes out along with the two future DLCs.
As it is right now, it's still a "good" game with thoroughly entertaining writing with regards to the setting and characters you interact with, character building that feels streamlined compared to Pathfinder but still having plenty of depth and player expression for party composition, and generally good presentation (seriously, this has some of the best voice acting I've heard out of an isometric CRPG, period) but is also your average CRPG launch release (as in, the game feels like it begins falling apart by the seams both technically and mechanically once you get to the last portions of the game).
The only big negative I have unrelated towards the technical side would be the game balance. Unlike both Pathfinder games which even on "Normal" the game would punish the player if they don't pay attention to an enemy's weakness/don't pre-battle buff, there's a point in RT where you just begin steam rolling the majority of battles with some very over powered classes like Officer and specialized companions like Cassia and a certain sniper companion later on. I'm far from a grand strategist but even I was starting to handle fights efficiently enough that some ended within the first turn. That being said, the first big 2024 patch has already nerfed classes like Officer and companions so I assume they're going to be rebalancing a lot before the first DLC drops.
