I'm kinda enjoying Chaos Gate Daemonhunters. The style is odd but interesting. The combat is good. I'm leveling up characters and equipment quite well.

But it's also getting to the "bit of a drag" point where everything is getting harder with stupid-tough terminators, spawn or machines, or LARGE hordes of cultists that are too numerous to take out quickly and then they cover you with LOTS of overwatch.

Just wish the scaling up didn't scale up so much.

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
