Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It builds on the previous game in the series and adds a lot of functions and variation, not the least through the fact that it has most of the factions in 40k represented in one way or the other.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Would appear there is a lot of story in campaigns, lots of voice acting and a decent narrator.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has everything a space combat game should have in the shape of big ships, even bigger explosions and all based on the old Table Top game Battle Fleet Gothic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To sum up, I 1000% recommend this to 40k fans, as the high level of quality found in this game, be it the gameplay, graphics, cutscenes, voice acting, isn't super common for the IP (as we very well know) and so even if you aren't into naval combat per-se, I'd still recommend it even just for the story alone (maybe just turn down the difficulty a bit though, if you want a more chill experience).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Was able to play through the whole thing in co-op without issues.
