Overall, a decent game and one of the best games you can play if you need a Warhammer fix.

Graphics are stellar, and attention to detail with the world and the Space marines is unmatched.

Right now however, I think the content is lacking.

Campaign:
Around 7 hours long. 6 missions. They're good fun, but the story isn't particularly enthralling and the missions can feel somewhat tiresome.

Has three player co-op.

Operations:
This is another campaign, again 7 horus long, however it's supposed to be replayed indefinitely as you level up your classes and unlock new armour/weapon skins for them.

Right now, only six missions, which is going to be come repetitive really quickly. I hope they add new missions, or something to make this mode fun to play. I like levelling up my Space Marine, but I can't replay the same six missions.

There are difficulty levels, but that's not exactly shaking things up too much.

Eternal War:
This is the PVP element of the game, and I gotta say it's pretty doodoo. There's nothing wrong with it in practice, it just does not do anything new. It's like Call of Duty, except 15 years ago and third person.

Again you level up and can use any cosmetics you have unlocked from Operations in this mode. For some reason the weapons in the classes you have to unlock again though.

The three modes to choose from are team deathmatch, capture the zone & king of the hill.

For this mode to be enjoyable, it would need to be something like Battlefield, which I know is an absolutely ridiculous notion as that would need to be a standalone game, but I just see no need to spend time on this mode when it's so basic. There's nothing visual to enjoy, you just die, spawn in the same area, run in, hopefully kill some people, die, repeat.

Additional Content:
A horde mode is coming, which I'm hopeful will add to the game, but I have my doubts they can deliver something that will be engaging enough to add a substantial amount of game play hours.

Overall:
At 16 hours of game time, and paying around £40, I do not think I got my moneys worth.
I kind like to put an hour of game time per £1, so my recommendation is only to get this on a deep sale.

It's odd, because a lot of love has gone into this game, but the content is just to limited that you can only play it so much. It's very much the analogy of being as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle.

If I could give a neutral recommendation, I would.
