After 160h at the time of review, it break my heart to post this game as not recommended. I have waited long for a story rich 40k game. I have played other Owl cat game and liked it.

The game is a turn based Pathfinder style 40k adventure where you play as a rogue trader. You can follow an heretic path, dogmatic one and an iconoclast one. the game has content for 100h if you rush to the end in one go and much more if you do other stuff.

the game include:
deep story
Pathfinder 40k style characters
Reputation system with some imperium factions
space battles
romance
huge amount of encounter be it trough exploration or warp travel
companions that dont like other companions
resources and planet management
no item limitation. you can take every thing in your inventory, if it is on the map, you should take it

I will divide this review into pros and cons

Pros:
+ Lot of character options
+ Re playable
+ 40k universe
+ the hub design is neat
+ the soundtrack can do a lot for immersion
+the gear variety, example: you can have a laz gun, laz pistol, hotshot laz gun, hotshot laz pistol assault laz gun and many, many more only for laz gun, the other types are doing the same
+great enemy variety, you can face a lot of one faction during one chapter, but enemies always seemed diverse and non redundant.

Cons:
-Lots of texture bugs: characters in purple due to missing textures, arms stretch glitch during animations and rag doll, character being invisible except floating gear.
-the terrain you visit have static characters that stay there even if the said character got executed, abducted or declared traitor
-some skills often don't act as said or are just plainly not functional sometimes
-The Corpus Valencius... is a lexicon where all mechanics are explained like a dictionary. I expect a only a low amount of player will read it, all myself included, and I realized only in the end game that i missed some key functionality in the game
-your character options are as vast as a normal human can be in 40k: except your origin planet, you are no tecpriest, adepta sororita, space marine and etc yourself.
-not balanced
-you can soft lock your exploration*
-*spoiler* the game premise give you a lot of dialog choices but in my play trough I realized that if you play a pure dogmatic character that always attack xenos, you cannot beat chapter 3. You have an event trough dialog that end your game if you don't cooperate with them and you are forced to make deals with xenos.

*about the soft lock exploration, you have a mecanic named navigator insight to explore the map. You gain 1 point for every sector that you chart and you can chart them only once, you can have more trough story event and if you have some chance, you can generate 2 with warp travel but it happened to me twice in 160h of play. you can spend these points to make paths easier to navigate and make new path to navigate. What the game don't tell you at the start is that some sector in the late game have no path if you don't keep navigator insight.

This review is from die hard 40k fan that has more than one tabletop army and was waiting this game with high anticipation. This game could be delightful and is near it. you can have some fun in the current state, but you have to overlook a great deal to be fully immersed because truthfully the game need some patchs. Dont buy it now
