I’ve long enjoyed Warhammer 40K, but so often the people who write fiction for the setting struggle to handle the black satire that sits at the heart of the setting.
The problem is there’s a non-insignificant sexist, racist, and toxic portion of the Warhammer fanbase that tend to think the Imperium is correct in its methods. Newcomers might play it and not understand what the setting is truly about.
I liked playing SM2, but they should do more against the racists fanbase.
Why does Batman work for that tyrant regime in charge of Gotham? It’s fun to play as Batman, but in this game you mainly are in the role of an undercover prisoner without any gadgets. It took me like 7 hours to get to 77%, about 15 minutes to get from 77% to 100%. I think it’s overpriced as well. I don’t recommend it.
