Super fun! I got a lot of enjoyment out of this game, but it is absurdly broken in many different ways. It's very very easy to dominate this game without even trying to, by the end chapter on normal NO fight gave me any trouble at all. The game seems to lean heavily on the concept of giving your teammates extra turns, this can quickly snowball easily into you getting 3 "turns" of attacks on your main attacker that also grants themselves extra attacks on their own turn, which means even being swarmed by 15 or 20 enemies is irrelevant, as you can easily kill all of them and the boss in the span of one "turn". This is a fun power fantasy for the power gamers, personally I am more casual about my games and like the ebb and flow of a difficult encounter even on medium. I would understand if I looked up the most broken builds online and used them, but this was in my casual gameplay session that I ended up nullifying the entire game about halfway through.
The companions are interesting, the world of 40k is very engaging, but the main storyline felt that it dragged quite a bit. It was more swashbuckling adventure, while the main storyline seemed to want me to care about mysteries and intrigue that just weren't engaging.
I cannot give this game 5 stars because it is EXCEPTIONALLY buggy, even after a large patch (which of course introduced more bugs). As an example, my characters have a trait that inflicts damage on enemies in their "aura" because of a storyline decision made at some point. This happens any time the character is near an enemy. The game also gives you a setup phase before most fights, allowing you to move your characters in a limited space around the battlefield before the battle begins to get in optimal cover or place your units intelligently. The "thorns" aura also activates during this phase, but not once. It activates every time you move the characters, which is free and infinite in the setup phase. This means I was able to kill one of the main bosses of the game by just moving my character back and forth in the setup phase, activating the thorns aura, and whittling down their health 20 HP at a time. Meaning, while it was easy to break the game and win any fight in one turn, I could now break the game and win any fight in ZERO turns before the fight even begins.
This is just one very extreme bug, there are numerous others. The game is filled to the brim with bugs at almost every turn. But I still enjoyed it, any CRPG fan will likely enjoy it as well. The combat is busted but fun, and the game can easily last 80+ hours.
