Given the date, I see now I missed a solid opportunity to theme my NewPlay, but what can you do?
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters (CGD, OK?) is the first cab off the rank for this month's Humble Choice, and is the latest... (checks notes)... *turn-based* 40K *PC* game.
I honestly thought it was the latest 40K game, but I checked, and there have been FOUR 40K games released since this, with two new ones later this year.
Embarrassingly, I've tried multiple 40K games, & failed to connect in any genre. I went into last night's stream, not sure which which genre CGD was, and it's a turn-based tactics game.
CGD is both visually & aurally gorgeous, and was I not pretty much trashed, I could have gone on playing for another hour or two.
However, it feels very lore-dense, with some assumed knowledge, which might be off-putting if someone was buying it cold, without any 40K knowledge.
A few weeks ago it dropped to a historical low, and I was tempted, but decided against it, which meant that for once, Humble Choice paid for itself.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is a really long name, but it's:
4: Good
