I know you aren't including mobile only, but I have been digging Tacticus on mobile. Yea, it's a p2w game, but I've been playing it witout spending any money and have been enjoying it since it still has a decent pace without needing $$$ spent. It's basically built using the same system from the mobile game Rivenguard, but after trying both, I think the tweaks done to Tacticus make it significantly more fun.

Still has balancing and difficulty issues, among others, but can't deny it's a blast. New maps are the b st yet (Carnival, Baross, Archivum), new skill trees, and easy enough you don't have to restrict yourself to META builds and god-tier weapons, even at the absolute highest levels. You can have fun with any build and team compositions (although a couple of Smite Psychers improve the odds considerably).

@matthewhostetter8974 6 місяців тому
An interesting list. I think Dawn of War 3 is listed way too high as it is the weakest of the Dawn of Wars, I'd say Chaos Gate Demonhunter is a far better game. DarkTide had a lot of promise on release but they didn't deliver on what was promised. A year later there are things still missing, but they can make up for it. When OwlCat's Rogue Trader comes out later this year it will have to be added to the list and I expect it to be very high up, same with Space Marine 2. Also, the Alpha of Speed Freeks shows a lot of promise as well. Dawn of War 1, Boltgun and Space Marine 1 are to me still the best Warhammer 40K games around.
@theamazingbatboy 6 місяців тому
Although I personally love Mechanicus (with the Heretek expansion) seeing it placed so much higher than Daemonhunters surprised me. At least equal or superior in both polish and reception. Calling it an inferior XCOM clone is a bit strange since it better resembles Gears Tactics' more urgent, action oriented take on TBS. It's quite a different design. Dawn of War 3 was almost universally panned and I struggle to understand how it manged a top 10 slot at all. It's so half-baked.
@khinzaw77 5 місяців тому
DoW 3 being above the Gothic Armada games is actual heresy.
@Dreznin 5 місяців тому
DoW3 felt fine in the campaign, but as soon as you left the campaign it showed all the problems. It was a game where they tried to appeal to too many crowds, rather than sticking in a lane and making a refined experience. Dawn of War 1 is great if you want the epic scale 40k battles or are just a traditional RTS fan, meanwhile Dawn of War 2's focus on smaller squads is more like the classic 40k tabletop - both are fantastic choices and have their own adoring fanbases. Dawn of War 3 seemed to lack an identity - it felt like they wanted to keep the squad powers and hero focus of DoW2, but they also wanted to go back to the DoW1 scale, all while trying to incorporate elements of the then-popular MOBA format - one foray into multiplayer and you immediately realize that you're pushing lanes, tearing down towers, and aiming to destroy a nexus... MOBA 101 (on another note, I'm actually amazed we never got a true 40k MOBA with how every franchise seemed to have one). Dawn of War 3 ended up doing large scale worse than DoW1 and small scale worse than DoW2, all while feeling watered down by mechanics that the fans never asked for... I wanted to love the game so much, but it lacked the long-term enjoyability of both its predecessors.
@khinzaw77 5 місяців тому
@@Dreznin I think the campaign had its problems too. The pace of resource gain was glacially slow because it was balanced for multiplayer, so you spent so long waiting for points so you could actually buy units. Also, it kept swapping factions each mission so you really didn't get a chance to get used to the faction you were using.

I've enjoyed a lot of W40K games over the years, but for me there is one that stands above them all and keeps dragging me back for another playthrough. Dawn of War 2. However, I also enjoyed Space Marine, Battlefleet, Final Liberation, Inquisitor - Martyr, Dawn of War 1 + addons and Boltgun.

Most fans of 40k video games will debate day in and out between Dawn of War's 1+2. Some prefer the wide RTS variety (and mods) of 1; others the tactical depth, unique playtypes, and scale of 2. That said, the fact that Dawn of War 3 is in their top 10 is a crime.

The tenuous alliance between the convicts during missions, especially the banter between them being much more interesting than between the Ubersreik Five, makes the game more compelling than its Fantasy counterpart even if there's no definitive story campaign like in Vermintide (also because the battle for Atoma Prime is an ongoing conflict).

Theres still not what many would call a "typical story" but there is more lore than you think. And theers not very many bugs yet. Theres just a few more things Darktide needs, and alot of that is just more stuff. But number 27? Thats heavily uncalled for.

Though as a Roleplaying Gamer since 1982 at the age of 11 and having been aware of Warhammer 40k since it came out in 1987, for some reason I never got into it. Until I found myself stuck in the hospital back in August of 2020 (Foot Surgery) & idly wondered if there were any good Sci-Fi Diablo clones out there. I stumbled across 'Inquisitor- Martyr' & it ticked all the right buttons for me. I have now racked up over 1,800hrs of play, so definitely have gotten my money's worth. I am curious though, does this rating system take into account updates and improvements made with games that devs are still workin on? I know that 'Deathwing' got a significant update and 'Martyr' is still supported to this day.

Darktide should be ranked higher simply because many of the player negative reviews are literally just whining about not being a mere 40K reskin of Vermintide 2. Plus, from what I've been seeing recently, reviews are actually trending more positive after the class system was overhauled (3900 recent reviews for an aggregate "Very Positive" score). Edit: Swap Darktide's place with Dawn of War III. Pretty much everyone who stuck with Dawn of War from the very beginning says DoW3 sucks because Relic tried to appeal to the casual player and ended up losing the soul of the franchise as a result.

I still have my 1st edition Space Hulk board game. I think it just had its 40th birthday. The box, like me, is old and knackered and hence all this rambling to say I’ve loved 40k for 40 years. My personal favourites are restricted to consoles I own or owned never had pc. Space Hulk: Asscension They really perfected the balancing for this game. Space Hulk is a hard game if you’re up against an experienced stealer player. But it’s Vita predecessor was a little *too* unfair rng-wise. 40k Deathwatch Would’ve been top but after 30 hours and after beating the final level (an absolute nightmare!) the game on my ps4 crashed so it lost my save and I never saw the ending. I rly had no idea it was a mobile game as I don’t game on my phone at all. I always thought it looked beautiful on PS4 and I think it was meant to come out on Switch at some point - it exists on Amazon UK as unavailable. Mechanicus, by coincidence has just moved from my pile of shame to my Switch so I can’t grade it until I’ve finished it, but it looks amazing on OLED screen. The Diablo clone game was brilliant on PS4 and just edges Space Marine on 360 as my favourite action title. I’m so wanting to play all those amazing looking turn-based games on like Amiga and modern pc as well but I dare not open Pandoras PC box, I’ll starve to death the amount of tactics games I know are waiting for me on steam ☺️
