Released in 2022 on PS4 and XOne Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is still considered one of the most complex and best RPGs of recent years and received 87% (M! 12/22) from colleague Winnie. Now Owlcat Games is trying to repeat that success with another genre colossus, this time set in Warhammer 40,000-Universe.
After extensive character creation, your adventure begins on board a gigantic spaceship, where you are supposed to enter the service of free trader Lady Theodora. Soon events take over and suddenly you find yourself at the top of the pecking order of a traditional free trader dynasty. There you not only have to defend your rightful place in the universe and build a trading empire, but you also have to do lengthy detective work to find out who killed your predecessor. RPG enthusiasts get their money's worth in terms of play. If you're not caught up in dialogues that are often lengthy but usually written with a lot of passion, you can roam through lovingly designed scenarios and hold your own in turn-based battles with up to five other party members. Later there will be tactical space battles, similar to what you would expect Battlefleet Gothic knows. The developers mix all of this with an increasingly complex story that can develop in different directions based on your decisions and is not least so appealing because it is often not clear for long stretches who you can really trust in the end and who you can't .
