Hate towards this game is unjustified. Its really fine if you don't mind the pace of it. Gameplay is quite slow, keep that in mind before buying. Its a regular game has nothing new/innovative going for it. Just go in shoot enemies do what the mission wants.
But in my opinion if you are a sucker for 40k i highly recommend it, because environment is gorgeous. The Aesthetic of ships is really well made!

TLDR- This is a good game. A good Warhammer game and the closest I've seen to a good Aliens game. The environments are awe inspiring, dark, creepy, and feel great. The combat is fun and can be intense, though slower paced. The AI companions aren't perfect, but I like having them. I wish it had a manual save feature, but it does auto-save somewhat frequently.
Full Review:
This game is highly underrated. It's had a lot of negative comments which I don't quite understand. The atmosphere is amazing. They've captured the grim dark feeling of Warhammer very well, with a nice variety of ship locations like huge chapels, dark access tunnels, shrines, body pits, you name it.
The atmosphere is what I would expect from an Aliens game, done right. The combat is slower paced, which I think matches the kind of Space Marine you're playing. More the lumbering steam roller, then a run-and-gun type.
I personally really like having the two AI companions. It makes it feel less lonely while traveling and they help out a lot. Sure, the AI isn't perfect, but it works well enough for what I need them to do.
My only complaint would be the save feature. It auto saves at points, but is not real clear about when that is. And can be at unreliable times. This can make for long backtracking if you die at a bad spot. There is no manual save feature. For casual players like me, that's a must. It does auto-save when you teleport back to your ship, which is used to heal, res companions and change loadouts. This would work fine, but you only get a limited number of these "charges" per mission (I think 3). And they are long missions. So you can use it to save if you have to, but you'll be wasting a limited resource to do it.
Ultimately, great game, I've had lots of fun, and I'm going to continue playing. Give it the 2-hour shot to see if you like it.

My First Warhammer Game – A Pleasant Surprise
This was my first time playing a Warhammer game, and I have to say—it’s actually pretty fun. The gameplay is enjoyable, and the combat feels satisfying. While the game doesn't offer a huge amount of content, it's still enough to have a good time.
You can complete the main campaign in about 4 hours, but the game offers some replayability through special missions. These missions are randomized, featuring a selection of different objectives on the same maps you've already played. There are 9 chapters in total and 8 unique maps (Chapters 1–7 plus a special mission labeled Chapter 10).
Content & Replayability
Although short, the game offers just enough variety to keep things interesting for a little while. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth picking up when it's on discount. At full price, I’d only recommend it if you're really into the concept and gameplay style.
Co-op Experience
The co-op mode is relatively fun. Surprisingly, even with an average player count of around 50, I was still able to find a full squad without much trouble.
Campaign Length
Playing the entire campaign solo will take roughly 4 hours.
Cons
Lack of Music: The atmosphere feels empty without background music. I understand the developers likely wanted to capture the eerie silence of a space ship, but even subtle ambient music would improve the experience.
No Kick Option: If you’re playing with random players, there's no way to remove disruptive ones, which can be frustrating.
Difficulty Balance: The difficulty curve feels inconsistent. "Easy" can sometimes feel harder than "Hard", and the jump to "Very Hard" or "No Mercy" is steep. There’s little sense of gradual progression, which could be improved.
Conclusion
Overall, the game is fun and quite enjoyable—especially if you have a friend or two to play with. It’s a linear experience with repeated mechanics, so how long it holds your interest depends on your personal taste.
Final Rating: 8.9/10

While people may say it's a terrible game with a basic story and basic combat I believe this is one of the best 40K games out there. Playing as a terminator is so fun and the genestealers are a great enemy. I got this on sale for $7 and It is a purchase I will enjoy. The singleplayer is really fun however the multiplayer is where this game excels. to bad only 90 people play this game. I believe this game deserves a positive if not very positive rating instead of the mostly positive this game is stuck with.
