I never knew being a lying, corrupt detective could be so fun — Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy found a way, and I can't get enough

Five distinct fantasy characters stand in a row, each wearing unique, detailed costumes and holding different weapons, set against a dark, industrial background.

Back in 2024, I took a look at a relatively new CRPG made by Owlcat Games, called Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, because I saw many great things about it in my former colleague, Samuel Tolbert's review, where he awarded it 4/5 stars, saying "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a fun RPG with stellar writing that truly captures the dark future of eternal war."

Boy, was he right, because Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader was absolutely fantastic both as a CRPG in its own right and as a Warhammer 40,000 game. Its storylines and character writing were engaging; the combat system was gloriously violent and complex; character-building diversity was rich; and it had near-infinite replay value from its multitude of story-altering dialogue options.
