Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Offers Deep Dive into Warhammer Universe Despite Pacing Issues

The new computer role-playing game by Owlcat allows players to explore the Warhammer universe as a Rogue Trader, offering intricate plotlines and characters, but has been criticized for its pacing and space naval battles.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, developed by Owlcat, is a computer role-playing game that allows players to explore the Warhammer universe as a Rogue Trader, a freelance explorer scouting the far frontiers of the Imperium of Man.
The game features a detailed character creation process, a complex combat system, and a vast world to explore, with choices that impact the world around the player.
The game's narrative and character development are praised, with the game delving into the complexities of the Warhammer universe and developing intricate plotlines and characters.
However, the game has been criticized for its pacing, with players leveling up frequently but receiving only marginal rewards, and for a difficult boss fight at the end of Act 1 that cannot be bypassed by grinding experience elsewhere.
The game also features space naval battles, which some reviewers found to be clunky and frustrating.
