This is my first Owlcat game, so I didn't come into this with any huge expectations.
Solid tabletop adaptation with a combat system that eventually does grow on you, however you do tend to become very overpowered in the mid to late game. Traps are often too abundant and just feels like a brainless obstacle to add more content, but I'm told this is a common Owlcat trope. Takes its wh40k setting seriously and the world feels believable and immersive.

A lot of people seem to dislike Act 3 of the game (a classic RPG "prison act" where you are spirited away without any of your gear and you're separated from your companions), but on my second replay I took my time to take in the atmosphere and the storytelling, and now I'm thinking it's probably the best part of the game. On that note, the game benefits from one or two replays as if you're going to experience all the companions and story paths the game kind of pushes you into different moral alignments.

Lots of bugs left in there, but I didn't encounter anything game breaking or had to reload anything because of them, just immersion breaking stuff like referencing or even appearances of characters that were no longer in my party or referencing decisions i didn't make. Animations in dialogue and cinematics are VERY lackluster, perhaps I'm spoiled from playing BG3. Voice acting is sparse but good, most of the dialogue is just text.

If anything it makes me interested to try out the table top RPG.

The game's story kept pissing on you and beating you down at every turn like a perverted abusive step-father, despite you as a player constantly trying to appease it and figure out what choices to make to get it to lay off. But there is no escape.

2/5 reminds me too much of my childhood

Early Access Review
I was about to disregard this game as a boring non-frightening walking simulator, but then I got to the second half and there were giant baby doll heads in the darkness
