Space Hulk: Deathwing

Space Hulk: Deathwing takes one of Warhammer 40,000's most iconic concepts and places players inside Terminator Armour while fighting through a Space Hulk overrun by Tyranids. On paper, it's an excellent idea. In practice, however, I constantly felt that the gameplay never fully evolved enough to take advantage of its own concept. Visually, the game looks good and remains faithful to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. However, graphics alone have never been enough for me to judge a game, and most of my criticism comes from the gameplay rather than its presentation. My biggest issue is how the game represents Terminator Armour. I understand that the developers needed to balance the gameplay, but I never truly felt like I was controlling one of the Imperium's most powerful warriors. More than the balance itself, I never felt the size, weight or overwhelming presence that a Terminator should have. It often feels like playing a standard Space Marine with a larger health pool instead of wearing one of Warhammer's most iconic and resilient suits of armour.

This review is based on 100% completion and 31.7 hours of gameplay. [h1][b]Recommendation:[/b][/h1] Would I Recommend this game? No, not by itself. There is an Enhanced Edition of the game, so if you want to try it, I would recommend getting that version instead. I purchased the Enhanced Edition, and the original came with it for free anyway. The game itself is OK. It can be very clunky and janky at times, but overall it is a decent experience. However, I also ran into achievement issues that turned what should have been a straightforward completion into a huge chore. On top of that, there is simply an Enhanced Edition available that I would recommend over this version. As I have already completed and reviewed the Enhanced Edition, and the two games are essentially the same, most of my thoughts from that review still apply here.

Gameplay-wise, the campaign takes around 4 to 6 hours depending on how quickly you move through it. Having already complete…

Dont add it with the Enhanced edition.

Good game a few glitches still in it like you cant get through the tutorial without taking damage or you wont be able to do the heal bit

its decent but just get the enhanced edition

An FPS adaptation from the board game. Has it's flaws but you can have a good time. Thing is there is really no reason to play this since the Enhanced version exists and it's just better
