Gameplay ? 8/10 super fun, stealth system nonexistent
Immersion ? 10/10
Lore ? 10/10
Replay value ? 10/10

Always has been... Joking, in the launch it was pretty buggy. But since they started adding dlc/flc stuff instead of doing repairs is when you know an Owlcat game is ready.

[Tentacl]

I restarted 3 days ago but decided to wait for the DLC. I replayed Deadfire recently and it's vastly supperior to Rogue Trader, even with a lot of fixes since I played at launch.

Why are you splicing in Wrath of the Righteous footage? At 2:04 you are talking about Psykers while showing a character sheet for the Cavalier class from WoR.

100% it's worth playing. I have what many say is the best CRPG in my library, BG3. I play Rogue Trader more.

[High_Rate]

I prefer Rogue Trader more than BG3

The writing, character development, and humor is top tier.

I also really love the gameplay.

[sinclair]

First ever crpg, most played game of the year. Can't wait for void shadows hope they add an option for a freeboota companion

Main issue with the game - The length. Holy cow I'm 170 hours in. I like the 40K setting and the sheer epic scale of it is actually impressive... but I don't know I feel like we could have done with a little less time in the menus leveling up. I legit wish I could just straight assign a level path to everyone and be done with it. I don't want to manage, whatever it is, 9 characters or some such. I legit killed one of the characters off when given the option during a story bit because he starts at like level 20-ish while I was level 30 something. I just don't care to assign like 10 levels at that point.

I enjoy the reading, I don't like the menu slog.

The first thing GAMER needs to keep in mind is that Rogue Trader IS NOT XCOM.

Due to the fact that it is tactical in turn, the similarities end there, and as everyone already knows, the company Owlcat Games are experts in creating ultra-complex games that almost require a deep study of the game with a lot of reading on how to create and maintain your party, and to this day I learn new things in Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous.

This game is definitely a very niche game that was created within the D&D universe.

I don't think they have the budget for full voice acting, but they did mention in an ama or something that they plan to have complete voice acting in their new title. I am glad it's finally time to jump in, owl cat is notorious for having buggy releases.

[talaris-uk]

Have they patched in any voice lines? I was hoping over time they would include more instead of just sheer text walls to read.

[MRUToob]

Great game, but the spaceship combat really needs an overhaul. Can be really difficult in some places.

[SquirrelGamez]

Short version: If you like older non-voiced CRPGs and Warhammer 40k, you will love this.

If you don't, you won't.

[twinstars]

I heard the biggest issue with this game is that the later chapters are a lot unpolished and shorter than the first couple of chapters, making the ending unrewarding. Is that true?

[DJdeliverance]

Nice review succinct and tells us what we need to know

[yakamao]

Honestly, an awesome game, especially now with the multitude of patches that limits the numbers of bugs and glitchs

Sadly, i still encounter some issue, like the boss of a level being unable to act, wich is quite frustrating

[tikey]

I remember this game beeing described as a buggy mess. Is that still true?

[listrahtes]

Imo had they cut the game in half and invested in voice acting, better ingame graphics engjne, it would have been so much better.

We dont need 100hours of gameplay. Gives us 40hours at a higher quality and we are happy. Its the Owlcat problem im general. They flood us with information and skills etc instead of streamlining

This video sounds like an advertisement.

Thumbs down for stereotypical "inclusive" word salad insert.
