Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II is a slick, compelling tactical action RPG that focuses on hectic, chaotic combat and building out a world with genuine conflict. Each faction has its own unique feel to it, and you'll certainly want to experience both of them. There's not a ton that Mechanicus II is doing to stand out in a crowded genre, but the compelling world of Warhammer and smooth combat more than make up for that. Warhammer fans absolutely must check it out immediately, but newcomers to the franchise are also going to have a great time.

"In the grimdark of the forty-first millennium, there is only war. "These are the words that all Warhammer games and products live by, and Mechanicus 2 does so to a blood-soaked tee. Bringing the frontlines of Hekateus IV to your desktops and consoles with its deep strategy, satisfying progression, amazing art, showstopping audio, and dual-POV campaigns, it’s hard to find something to dislike about this game if you’re a Warhammer fan, and hard to deny its pull if you aren’t. By the Omnissiah or the Phaeron, it matters not; this game is glorious all the same.

What should have been a confident stride forwards from the solid tactical action of the original instead feels like a nervous sidestep. The superb narrative of Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, bolstered by strong voiceovers and rich fan service, gives players every reason to be invested in its grimdark world, but that investment is steadily undermined by overly linear gameplay and combat that rarely rises above the mundane.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanius II might have been more enjoyable; nothing in it is inherently bad, if it weren’t also a boring experience. There are so many franchises in the Warhammer universe to stack it against where it falls considerably short, but even more turn-based tactical games that it just fails to live up to
