#MiniReview #VideoGames 25 hours in, I only just finished Chapter 1 of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (2023), and I'm elated. After my previous disappointment with Pathfinder: Kingmaker*, I came in a little weary for computer role-playing games, but it has been a joy so far. Compelling narrative, streamlined gameplay, set piece battles rather than random encounters, and (optional) limited saves making dialogue dilemmas meaningful while keeping difficulty manageable.

Very good so far!
