    Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus

    I thought it was gonna be like an XCom or Divinity Original Sin kinda combat game.

    Maybe it is? I don’t think so, but the UI and controls are so bad that I never really figured out how to play, and there’s no tutorial, so I can’t say for sure what kind of game it actually is.

    All I figured out in my 2ish hours is that it’s not a game for me.

      If you’re looking for XCOM 40k, check out Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters. It unabashedly mimics XCOM and throws in the spaceship management from Battletech. I would say it’s not quite as good as XCOM 2, but it’s still pretty good. Bonus points if you’re into 40k.

        Thanks, I’ll check that one out!

        Yeah I’m a little curious about the Warhammer 40k world, but not interested in getting into another tabletop game, so I figured a video game might be fun

        I have both and chaos gate is def the better of the two but Mechanicus did grow on me the second time I picked it up. Some weird decisions like no cover struck me as odd
