Would You recommend this game to a solo only player?

[Pulkvedis]

Hey everybody who plays this game. I'm a solo only player and would like to know, if You would recommend this game to someone like me - as a solo experience?

Thanks!

It's a bit hard to defend this game for sp only. If you are a hard-core 40k fan or even semi-hardcore fan then yes.
Graphics aren't bad, challenge is there if you crank up difficulty. Battle brothers AI is.. Manageable, not good, not totally bad. Enemies attack in a few different ways, not hard to learn patterns. Weaponry is very satisfying, IMO. I recommend sp special mode, where you can change class.

I'm a bit teared here, because I'm of the few that love this game and feeling it gives me when I play as a tactical dreadnought. Well immerse myself.

It's a short playthrough, if you are a completionist then you will definitely sink a few hours in.
Get it if it's on sale

Thanks for the reply, and the suggestion. Will wait for a sale.
I know nothing about Warhammer universe. I just saw the Enhanced Edition trailer and was intrigued, because I liked the way it looked.

This game will give you on solo mode more than Vermintide in my opinion. Though the multiplayer aspect of V2 is at the moment better, but that can change with the EE. I play both games and saw your thread on both forums. V2 solo is not so satisfying imo, but I love both games in multiplayer.

Thanks!
If I end up giving in and getting a game, this should be it as it has a stronger SP component.

As a fan of 40K, FPS and horde style games I'd definitely say it was worth picking up on sale.

Single player campaign is one of those "once you've played it, you've played it" but the varying difficulty options make it interesting. Special Missions do offer a decent level of replayability currently but with the Enhanced Edition on the near horizon (FINALLY!) that'll boost replayability to a much better level, with in game renown points and full weapon/armour customisation.

If you're not really into Warhammer 40k alot of the lore in the game that has fans go "Whoa" will fly right by you and you may not be impressed.

That being said, if you DO get into the universe, there is a ton of backstory hidden in this game - meaning not shoved in your face via mission briefings, cutscenes and ship logs displays.

I count at least 7 different plot lines going on, including but not limited to: an adeptus, a blood angel(s), an unsanctioned psyker (that survives surprisingly long but ends up nid food, or actually a nid)....

To be honest i probably wouldnt have enjoyed it if i didnt like warhammer 40 that much.
Why?
Well the bad points are long walking , very short sprinting time, melee felt not so good compared to vermintide 2(weapons have almost no weigh, while ranged do feel good kinda but sounds could be louder) , weapons are fun to use especially the flamethrower,

But biggest minus is there is no ammo system. That means melee is most of the time redundant. Enemies make too much damage on you despite lore wise their weapons shouldnt even penetrate your armor and only stagger you.

Genestealers can (lorewise) cut through terminator armour with relative ease if they get into melee range. the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ autoguns the hybrids have should indeed not do any damage whatsoever though

I fully recommend it for single player if you want to play with idiot bots that will block your line of sight, start shooting genestealers when they will be too close to them, open the doors you locked etc.
Once finished you can replay the game to experience a same same boring pattern of moving, stopping to shoot and moving further to shoot again.

Only thing that makes this game intersting is a feeling and look of space hulk. But I suppose it is only attractive for wh40k fans. And why the hell anyone would like to spend money for this if he can just watch thousands of videos on youtube?

Comming soon EE will bring some changes but mostly for multiplayer so... really, don`t bother.

I know the EE trailer looks cool. The pre release trailer also made a lot of people jump at the hype train... and most of them jumped off it after 1 week of playing.

Oh yea i ment hybrits.

Yes, I definitely recommend Deathwing for its solo game play. I have played over 100 hours in the single player campaign. For me personally, the games graphical detail, and artwork were awe inspiring! I knew at the outset that the Unreal Engine 4 was capable of producing great things. But to my amazement, Streum on Studio (the developers) took it to heights I never thought possible!
