Even the characters are two-dimensional, which makes the game feel like it’s lacking the emotional depth that players want.

You would think that a game set in a universe as expansive as Warhammer 40k would have no problem setting up a story that grips the player sadly, the game’s story fails to deliver. Another issue I had with the game was that the storyline is strangely mediocre. The feature is designed in a way that makes it awkward and fidgety to get your teammates to carry out even the simplest of tasks. However, what I found in my single-player playthrough of the game was that your party members were dumb and hard to direct. This was a good move by the developers as I doubt many people would purchase this game twice. Another thing about the enhanced edition is that people who bought the game on PC the first time round will receive this upgrade for free. The different weapons and armour are unlocked with in-game currency known as Renown, which is rewarded for finding relics and gaining experience. The enhanced edition also has new customisation options that make your character more unique. The game gives you Overwatch-style special abilities that give you a much needed variety of ways to kill the huge number of enemies that you face. The addition of a skill tree adds an RPG-lite element to it, and the controls will be slightly hard to get used to for casual FPS players but are easy enough to get used to. Taking down masses of monsters with friends is a ridiculous amount of fun and made the gameplay all the more exciting. This is undoubtedly my favourite way to play (and not just because of how frustratingly difficult your group is to control in single-player, more on that later). Even more so in the four player co-op which sees you and up to four friends traversing the campaign as a party. Taking down hoards of enemies with a weapon usually reserved for vehicles proved to be extremely satisfying. I’ll start off by saying that the overpowered nature of the playable characters makes for some amazing moments during the campaign. Unlike previous instalments of the Space Hulk series, Deathwing is not turn-based, giving fans a new perspective on the series.

The game sees you exploring an abandoned spaceship as a group of armour-clad mercenaries shooting down enemies in gruesome fashion. The game was initially released for PC on December 14th, 2016, and has recently been released for PS4 with an enhanced edition.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a gory, hall-crawling first-person shooter developed by Streum on Studio and set in the Warhammer 40K universe.
