Gameplay

Despite the amazing gameplay, wonderful continuation of a beloved story, and the nearly 200 hours I've spent into this game, there are trends I've noticed that deeply concern me.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
9/10 - Look great and feel fantastic to fight, melee or ranged.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If the operations game type is all you got from buying this game I would simply not recommend it because of all the drawbacks and artificial playtime increases it has, but the campaign is genuinely great and the operations game type itself is also excelently designed, it's just all the other systems that support it that are very unnecessarily frustrating (on top of being quite grindy).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics are very demanding and my pc with a 3060, ryzen 5800x and 32gb ram struggles to keep this game consistently above 60 frames, but the gameplay does not suffer from having lower than 60 frames as is usually the case with other games and there are no frame dips or stutters.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

A solid solo or coop experience, a little short (six hours I think) looks good and is very (modern) Warhammer 40k - However the meat of the game isn't here....
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Yes, you might need to buy some DLC to get juicy parts, but overall it has been a joy to build up my own roster of Space Marines.
