    Unlike other games companies Ubisoft/Insomniac Games they expect you to pay full price for a game that was previous generation for a few new bells and whistles. It's not worth it (can you imagine if they charged STEAM etc gamers for their so called 4k improvements). Come on.

    Do not buy, if you've already got it. And shelled out for their terrible dlc... if you can call it "content".

    If you haven't played it, go rent it please. Do not give these guys more money.    … Expand

    My rating corresponds to the PS5 Slayer Edition. Since the original version was a solid game (rated 7/10) the new „enhanced“ version makes me very disappointed. When you expect to get a visual enhanced game then just forget it. In comparison Diablo 3 which is years older looks a way better than Chaosbane on PS5.

    The new version of Warhammer: Chaosbane fills a very special niche on the PlayStation 5. The new content and improved technology make this version of the game feel really great.

    Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition may not be for everyone. It is a grind-based dungeon crawler that relies on the ability to endlessly run through dungeons, earn better loot, and repeat against harder and stronger enemies. For those looking for an enriching story in the world of Warhammer Fantasy there isn't much to see, which is a shame, but the enjoyment here is based on buying into the gameplay loop. It may wear thin for some, while being a treasure for those who seek nothing but the menial grind of repetitive dungeon-crawling and looting for that never-ending quest of creating the optimal build. While this won't earn any accolades on the PlayStation 5, this is hardly a title to gloss over, and is worth checking out at the least.

    Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition is an improvement on the base game from last generation, but never truly feels like a next gen title. The added content will make this a worthy upgrade for those who enjoyed the base game, however the game remains too generic in terms of story and far too easy when it comes to gameplay.

    Subtle uses of the new console abound, with the DualSense’s triggers ‘hardening’ if a power is still in cooldown.2 Running at 60fps in 4K, Chaosbane manages to feel fresher than it should. Even when the screen fills with enemies, zinging notifications, and colourful projectiles, it never misses a frame. All that said, Chaosbane remains the same generic game behind the PS5-ness.
