For the Emprahhh!!
An amazing old-school but new game. It's gameplay is simple, you drop on a mission with your buddies and start splatting some aliens, all you need after a busy work day.
The game mixes mechanics from the FPS and beat-em up genres, where a lot of the combat is focused on melee and you have to be constantly in a crowd control mode, prioritizing enemies and systematically thinning their ranks to avoid being overwhelmed. Melee combat is very rewarding with a high skill ceiling and maybe a bit of too steep learning curve, but once you master it you feel like a true Son of the Emperor, delivering His righteous wrath to the enemies of Mankind. Execution animations are very satisfying and help establish your dominance over the Tyranids.
The campaign is good, not too short either, some 8-10 hours, and then you get operations mode where the meat and potatoes of the game is, where you play as side squads completing missions tasked by Titus and his main force. It's a very cool trick that gives cohesion to the end game game mode. There's a lot of unlockables to keep you going and difficulty levels to master so you can get hooked for a while. It gets a bit repetitive over time but I haven't get bored of it yet.
The 40K setting is amazing and the game's art shows the unviverse in all it's dark glory. Lots of grandiose and epic events to watch and be part of.
The game is well optimized and has good performance for the level of looks it has.

For me it's very close top perfection. 9.5 out of 10.
