    Total NewPlays: 139

    Game: Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

    Platform: Steam
    Release Date: May 5, 2022
    Library Date: May 4, 2023
    Unplayed: 0d (0d)
    Playtime: 61m

    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

  3. Going live on #Twitch with a #NewPlay of #Warhammer40k #ChaosGate #Daemonhunters in about 15 minutes.

    Virtually every attempt to play any Warhammer game in any medium has failed miserably, so let's see if I keep up my run.

  5. 2/
    Games I recently picked up and that would've had potential to make the list:
    • Solo: #Warhammer40k #Daemonhunters.
    • “Co-op“: #SuperMarioOdyssey. It's surprising how much stuff (Moons, Coins, secret passages) my wife spots. Well, or how much I miss. 😅 🤷‍♂️

  7. I had the honor of being gifted “#Warhammer40k: Chaos Gate - #Daemonhunters“ (quite a mouthful) for Christmas.

    So far (a handful of missions in), it's been a very nice #XCom/#XCom2-like game. Story, atmosphere, production and music are all great. Given that I'm not familiar with the #Warhammer universe I'm sure to miss a lot of subtleties, though. :D

    For now, the skill trees of the soldiers (knights) are still a bit much to take in every level-up. (1/2)
