    I love the setting of WH40k, but I don’t like tactical games. I don’t play the table top for this reason, so for GW to have this giant fleshed out universe and just about exclusively make games similar to their top top offers feels like a huge waste. They could be commissioning so many other game types!

      I’m not super familiar with the WH40K franchise and what other games are out for it, but what genre of games would you have preferred they do? I suppose a straight up action shooter would work, but isn’t there a Space Marine sequel coming soon that’s for WH40K? Plus there’s also Darktide (the futuristic counterpart to Vermintide).

        Oh yes, I’m very expected about Space Marine 2, especially when I found out it’s co-op for up to 3 players! The problem is, GW has a problem with having shitty games get made, Martyr wasn’t very good, Darktide was received very poorly, buggy, unoptimized. Deathwing, same thing, buggy, glitchy, shallow.

        Yes pretty much any other genre of game would be great, The RTS games in the Dawn of War series were great, 1 and 2 were fantastic, 3 was hot trash. First Person Shooters would be nice, 3rd person action games, god even a Telltale Games style story driven narrative game in the setting of you being an Inquisitor chasing a heretic would be wonderful. There are just so many things they could do with the setting! For me the sweet spot is audio books, I love listening to stories sets in the WH40k universe! The Eisenhorn series was fantastic! I also love a ton of various space marine centric stories. But I adore the Necron and had a massive amount of fun with The Infinite and The Divine (Warhammer 40,000), and The Twice Dead King series.

      From the top of my head there’s Inquisitor Martyr, Space Marine 1 and soon 2, Darktide and Boltgun that are not tactical/strategy. Ever since DoW3 I believe most W40K games haven’t really been in that genre.

        I know of those games, but when you compare the number of turn based tactical games vs how many are different genres, the ratio is pretty crazy.
