Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr severely lacks a much needed polish. The game can offer a tremendous amount of content, and yet almost everything feels repetitive and undercooked.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr has many great looking environments which really draws you into its world. You'll find yourself sinking many hours into the game per session with its addictive loot system and the urge to grind for more experience so you can level up. The lore that's within the dialogue is sure to entertain fans of the Warhammer 40,000 series. However, the lack of background information and thorough explanations of what's going on makes the game less appealing/interesting to those new to the Warhammer 40k universe.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor Martyr (told you the name was ridiculous) is a solid game that I had a lot of fun with…once I got past its blemishes. A patch or two and this game might be a must-own for ARPG fans. Right now though, it is hard to recommend due to its hindrances.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor Martyr is one of the best Devil-like we have tested in recent times. If you like its setting and the type of game, it is a must. A lot of hours, weapons, objects and improvements, action in abundance, and if you like online you have a game without end. As if this were not enough, the universe has recently expanded with new races of enemies, the Drukhari (former Dark Eldar). Very recommended.

This isn't a tactical shooter, it's an action-RPG, where map design and asset placement needs to promote clear pathing and enable fast-paced motion.

Warhammer 40000 Inquisitor Martyr gives us a game that despite not being the best in performance, it does guarantee us a lot of hours of fun through a system of missions that could have no end, and with the possibility of playing them in cooperation with friends.

Being the first action role-playing game set in the universe created by Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr is a worthy purchase for fans, with a well-crafted campaign deeply invested in the universe's lore. Sadly, the gameplay experience, while functional, is quite derivative, and the few features setting it apart from other action role-playing games are not enough to make it an essential purchase for those who aren't familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 universe or aren't big action role-playing game fans.

An enjoyable enough adventure through Warhammer 40K's dark future that never quite manages to exhilarate you.

If youi're a Warhammer 40K fan, and you're a fan of Diablo-style games then Inquisitor Martyr is definitely a game for you. There are still a few bugs, and some mission triggers don't fire correctly at the end of certain missions. But, all that aside, it's a great fun game that's worth getting for sure!

Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor Martyr nails the gothic and grim sci-fi 40K universe, but technical shortcomings and some poor design decisions hurt the overall experience. Online multiplayer, outside of playing with friends, is a nightmare to separate, especially since you'll be randomly dropped into a mission and thrown back to your local hub afterward. NeoCoreGames does have a fluid roadmap on the game's official website complete with seasonal events and content. There is also a season pass that will include new investigations, campaigns, loot emotes and even familiars (pets). Currently, there is a $3.99 servo-skull pet for purchase on the Xbox Store that doesn't appear in-game or crashes your game.

A great proposal if you are a Warhammer fan, but not that much if you aren't and it's a bit uglier than the original PC version.

There's a clear feeling of Martyr being spread way too thin across all the ideas at play, and pretty much every aspect of the game suffers as a result. If it could've trimmed some of the fat and instead focused on a select few features and mechanics, we might well have had a ground-breaking 40K release on our hands. Instead, what we're left with is a half-baked example of what could've been. Buried under its own ambitions to be everything at once is a solid Warhammer 40K story and a slow-burning, serviceable ARPG experience whose shortcomings may be more easily excused by fans of the source material the developers so honorably follow.

Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Martyr has fantastic gameplay that's complimented by great combat and missions. There are a few bugs and framerate problems, but the skills tied to weapon mechanics add a brilliant way to switch up combat until you find your set.

Warhammer Inquisitor: Martyr succeeds in giving players an action RPG experience that manages to combine the action of a 'Diablo clone' with the Warhammer 40K license.

The game could be some spectacular with some changes via updates or even an expansion, but right now it misses the mark.

Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr isn't perfect, but it's the first enjoyable WH40K action title to grace the consoles since Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. While many may write it off as a Diablo III copycat, I believe it's one of its best features, and it has plenty of other elements to set it apart from Diablo. The fact that I felt as thought I was playing out a possible mystery case from the files of Gregor Eisenhorn only added on the glee. It is, without a doubt, the best WH40K game on the PlayStation 4. It's a shame that the unreliable, yet required online connection prevents the praise to reaching beyond that niche audience.

Inquisitor - Martyr is unfortunately the failed attempt to create a worthy RPG action set in the fascinating world of Warhammer 40,000.

Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor – Martyr is a pretty solid ARPG from NeocoreGames with some neat ideas – like procedurally generated dungeons – but it's far too frustrating and repetitive for a mere mortal like myself. If grind is your name though, you should probably change it, but at least you'll like Martyr.

If you're dedicated to Warhammer 40,000's world you may get some joy out of this but Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is anything but to-die-for.
