    Death Wing might not do everything right, but it damn sure dose a great job of puting you in the roll of " An Angel made Flesh" , the Space Marine..
    One thing with giant Armour is that your slow and OP meaning alot of the confronations are head on assaults and theres not much room for tactics or manuverability.. I am personally fine with how the game plays..

    Fantastic game, very good atmosphere and gameplay, despite a few mistakes the game is very good. If you are a fan or liked: space hulk vengeance of the blood angels, then this is a must have game.I don't quite understand the low grade on metacritic, but there are obviously some haters

    The game is really fun, the assortment of weapons you get to smack a heretic is good, from the storm bolter, the redemption, the spear of caliban, the force sword, the assault canon and of course, the heavy flamer, the heavy flamer isn't as good as the assault canon but, can you really deny trying out a flame thrower, it's really nice to have brother barachiel and brother nahum by my side,The game is really fun, the assortment of weapons you get to smack a heretic is good, from the storm bolter, the redemption, the spear of caliban, the force sword, the assault canon and of course, the heavy flamer, the heavy flamer isn't as good as the assault canon but, can you really deny trying out a flame thrower, it's really nice to have brother barachiel and brother nahum by my side, brother barachiel is heavy weapons guy and brother nahum is your apothecary/medic, there is hacking turrets, don't worry hacking isn't complicated, you just scan a turret and choose whether to take control of it or destroy it, the only downside is the lack of players in current multiplayer, so unless you have friends, you aren't gonna get in a multiplayer match, atleast that's on the server I'm playing but that isn't in the developers control so not gonna decrease the ratings… Expand

    This is a must for WH40K fans on PS4. For me, it captures the spirit of the Warhammer 40,000 universe extremely well. The graphics are also really nice.

    If the title played differently, then I don't think that I would like it as much. In fact, Gav Thorpe, one of the WH40K authors, whose titles include Space Hulk: The Novel, was an advisor on the game design.    … Expand

    Space Hulk Deathwing: Enhanced Edition is a thrilling, atmospheric and action packed journey into the twisted, Gothic halls of ruined ships infested with vicious aliens. It feels great to play and looks like one of the finest recreations of the Warhammer 40,000 universe I have ever seen. The Emperor Protects but a suit of Terminator Armour does a hell of a job too!

    Videogame magazines, both online and printed, are truly sick these days. They deserve these kind of scores of 6-7 for all those games not supported by a first classe enterprise, such EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, etc. This Space Hulk: Deathwing, running smoothly on PS4, is already a merit. But the game itself is fun enough. It has some bugs, but is very enjoyable, mainly online with friends.Videogame magazines, both online and printed, are truly sick these days.

Honestly, I doubt that all these "professional" reviews are based on a complete experience after beating the game. If you love the action games, try this one.

    The first thing a discerning gamer will notice about these reviews, both pro and pro-am, is that the people who reviewed it poorly were not disappointed fans of WH40K.

They were just norm people, who for whatever reason, thought it was important for a non fan of that world to write a review. If you're disinterested in that world, or have never heard of it, to stands to reason you'll get a lot less from this game than a fan. And that's fine.

    That said, (and no offense meant to the kids at the bottom of this column, but) calling this "the worst game ever made" is juvenile and stupid. It's decent. It's basically a REALLY cool looking wave murder game set in an equally cool, if slightly over the top, dark sci-fi universe. Not the best of it's kind in that genre, but def one of the better WH40k fps shooting games.

    The second thing you'll notice is that the truly slavering fans of this world absolutely love this game. Because it offers a window into that world that, really, no other game offers.

    So the question is, why are YOU here?

    I'm not a huge fan of any warhammer, there's something vaguely socially weird about the whole "exterminate the filth" thing, but i love the aesthetic and my primary memory of this game is that i liked it until i got bored with it. The sound and music was a little...bleh in places, but i wasn't playing in headphones and i don't have a big bass sound setup, so maybe that'd help.

    I will say that i saw a very insightful review of this game that managed to tie basically all it's major (non-technical) faults back to the board game it's emulating. Basically, the conclusion was that it would be a better game if it was a worse Spacehulk game. And, having heard that, i now totally agree and i can't really see it any other way anymore. If you're familiar with the board game, or the video-board game it's based on, you'll notice it too. Especially around the doors and other functional elements that seem....a little over wrought or just unnecessarily involved and/or simple. It's a bunch of little things and i wouldn't bother listing them even if i could remember it all. You'll see. It's nothing huge or game breaking. Just...stuff.

    But for a day or three of cool looking alien killing, on sale or in a bundle, omg, my dudes...you could hella do worse. But if you want a spacehulk based deathtastic alien megamurder game? You can't really do better. But what can i say? It's small market.

    But that doesn't make this game any less cool, IF that's what you're looking for.

    The selling point for me was the studio who made it. They have SO much potential and i want them to succeed, and i'll buy everything they make until they have enough money to make a AAA E.Y.E 2 (or even a polished remake. Hell of daring game, for it's time). And why not. They're awesome. They have something new coming out soon, too, and I can't wait.    … Expand

    From the people who gave me the fun E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy which was a very rough diamond to say the least.

    I have only have a passing interest in WH40K, but the WH40K computer games I have played I have generally enjoyed. A mixed bag of turn based, RTS and live action shooters.

I doubt this even reaches the console bog standard 30 FPS.

    The SP campaign kind of sucks being stuck with two dumb A.I. space marines. I can't see myself playing this co-op due to the poor frame rate drops, but this looks like this would work better with human players. I wasn't bored with the repetitive horde waves. I can do arena horde type shooters no problem. Wanted to like this and probably would of if the performance wasn't so bad and sucked so much. Oh and I do have the enhanced edition you know the fixed version.    … Expand

    Otra vergüenza de juego roto por todos lados, otro ejemplo de cómo vender posavasos a precio de formato físico, si encima le sumamos que el juego es bastante mediocre no hay por dónde cogerlo.

    A very basic shooter. While the single player campaign felt lacking throughout, the rewarding progressive components added to the multiplayer aspect of the game delivers a worthwhile experience – if you have Brothers willing to follow you into battle.

    It's hard to find a match online, and offline the game shows its age with a stuttering framerate, long load times, and a drop in texture detail when the screen fills with enemies. [Issue#151, p.94]

    Perhaps, someday, the WH40K universe will offer experiences as compelling as its fantasy brethren. Until that time, players looking to scratch the WH40K itch would do better by dusting off a last-generation console or firing up Steam and buying Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. It’s a pretty charming third-person action game that, while a little long in the tooth now, satisfies the urge to mow down bad guys by the thousands in a much less frustrating format.
