Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 Reviews
There are a couple of issues here and there, but ultimately Battlefleet: Gothic Armada II feels fun, different and powerful, even if you don't know much about the source material.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is on the better end of the Warhammer 40,000 video game world, with solid strategy gameplay and some gorgeous moments.
Is this particular endless space war worth enlisting in? If you’re looking for an incredibly deep 4x – no. If you’re up for some big, beautiful, dramatic RTS campaigns with weighty, satisfying combat, and don’t mind waiting for a patch to iron out a few creases – then yes.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is grand in scale, size, and scope, and a testament to everything that's possible in the grimdark Warhammer 40K universe. Unfortunately, it does have a few shortcomings that prevent it from reaching one step short of greatness.
A satisfyingly tactical real time strategy game with a deep love of Warhammer 40K lore.
