Some good evolution on the strategy side - with the usual rich history of the series. Great work!

Really interesting and very original take on grand strategy games.

Wouldn't quite call it a 4X - more a sort of Crusader Kings meets the Expanse.

A *lot* of work has gone into this game and it looks like it has paid off.

After 18 hours I've barely scratched the surface - but have yet to be disappointed and can feel its gravity on my spare time...

Actually a really fun game! They did a great job capturing the feel of Necromunda and the gunplay is fun and fast. No glitches for me so far, I'd absolutely recommend!

Wow. I've just finished it and I think it's made me clinically depressed :(

Worth it.

Genuinely awesome game. If you're remotely tempted by what is, basically, a history geek's Skyrim then just go for it.

Yes there are bugs, and yes a couple are pretty gamebreaking (I've been stuck in a room unable to get past the open door...) but these are few and far between. Twice so far in 42,5 hours.

The graphics are ace, the combat is meaty and satisfying (and damn scary at first - running away from peasants with pitchforks is definitely the right approach until you find your feet!) and the world just looks and feels right.

The real beauty though lies in the story that is thoroughly engrossing and drives a hugely immersive start and really makes you *want* to help Henry do his thing.

The characters are wonderfully realised and the narrative scenes among the best I've seen in a game (or film).

Really, if you're on the fence just get it. If your computer catches fire then you can always get a refund, but if you can cope with the performance I guarantee you'll be as addicted as I am in half that time.

A genuinely engaging and aesthetically pleasing game with plenty to keep you occupied. You can take it at pretty much any pace you like, and there's always something new to discover.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

Get it.

Good game. A genuine improvement on previous editions, refining mechanics in interesting - and successful - ways. Well done them.

Wow.

Even a couple of hours on...

Wow.


A bit clever, so might not be for the keyboard mashers, but if you like witty dialogue and a genuinely astute and insightful plotline then give this a go, you won't regret it.

I... actually really like this add-on.

It does complicate things, it does dramatically change the game, but it fleshes out two aspects of the game that had hitherto been lacking - Childhood and the council.

Now you have to treat your vassals with a little respect, and it opens up new dynamics in plotting against your own liege. Never mind increasing the customisability of the seed of your loins.

Well worth the culture shock!
