Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (2023 Video Game) User Reviews (2)

The Warhammer 40k game I have been waiting for.

I'm not particularly a cRPG fan, Baldurs gate 3 opened the door for me so I decided to bite the bullet and give this a shot being that it's set in a universe I've been trying to learn about and get into for some time now. I had heard about 'Rogue Trader' through a page I follow and even WH40k vets absolutely loved the game.

The game instantly pulled me in, there's a lot of reading but it's incredibly informative for newer players like me and has deep lore for the vets. It has keywords you can hover over and it gives you a definition or a rundown on what it means which has been one of my favorite parts of the game being that I'm pretty new. The story is very well done in that it makes you feel powerful and you also feel the impact of your decisions in the game. I knocked points off because some of the animations are reminiscent of old gen games and it does have bugs and glitches from time to time, but not enough that has really had an effect on my gameplay so far.

I think the Emperor would agree that if you're a fan of WH40K and you're not giving the game a chance, it's Heresy.

Avoid until 2025

It was one of the most broken games I've seen in a long time. I played 80 hours but it left me tired as if 80 years had passed. They released the game in an even worse state than Baldur's Gate 3. I guess this is a new trend for game developers. They release buggy as hell and early access games as full versions. After releasing the things that need to be fixed and added before the release, they complete it with updates and additional DLCs. On top of that, they expect extra money for these DLCs. Looking at the current state of the game, it should definitely be avoided. I can easily say that the game was released 1 year early and it will take that long to fix it. The only reason I gave the game this score and was able to finish it is because it's connected to the Warhammer universe, otherwise it really wouldn't have gotten a score higher than 0 from me.
