Space Hulk Deathwing Enhanced Edition Free Download Unfitgirl Space Hulk: Deathwing represents everything I have always wanted in a Warhammer 40k game. While the series is famed for its tactical, methodical gameplay on the board and previous video games, I have often found these quite hard to get into due to their huge learning curves and reliance on knowledge of the franchise to get the most out of it. Deathwing however, has a more palatable premise. It’s a first-person shooter with tactical elements that sees you walk the narrow corridors of derelict ships, fighting xenomorph-like Genestealers of varying size and shape. There is not an awful lot to hate in that premise, however the execution and reality betrays this significantly, making this a textbook case of being careful what you wish for. The problem is that the game, setting or characters aren’t nearly as interesting as they seem on paper. Space Hulk: Deathwing makes no attempt to ease the player into the wider Warhammer universe and immediately hits you with franchise jargon that is completely impenetrable to the casual observer. Luckily, all you need to know is that you play as a team of elite marines of the Dark Angels and you must venture into derelict ships to purge these of the residing alien race known as the Tyranid Genestealers. The Dark Angel team is kitted out with incredibly powerful terminator armour that essentially makes the user a walking tank. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

At first, the heavy movement of the armour gives a wonderful sense of empowerment, but this soon fades when you realise just how slow and laborious this aspect makes the game feel. Each ship you enter is huge in scale and the long winding corridors just compounds the fact that your character is incredibly slow. This is made even worse by the way each mission is laid out, often you are sent from one end of the derelict to another with very few objectives in between that space to help improve the pacing. This makes the game both boring and predictable, with most objectives being the furthest point away from your character when you receive them. The only thing between you and your objectives are a range of enemies that seek only to slow down the pace further. These come in the form of the previously aforementioned Genestealers which are a race of insectoid six-limbed creatures that simply run at you and wail on your armour mindlessly. This evokes the same kind of feelings that Left 4 Dead or Warhammer’s own Vermintide had, but the resulting chaos is a calamity for the senses and can sometimes bring the frame rate to a standstill due to the number of things happening at once. There are some variations of these, such as the scythe armed larger tyranids or the hybrids that can take potshots at you from afar with lazers, but otherwise there isn’t really any defining attributes that sets these apart from the mindless drones that you mow down on a frequent basis.

SPECIAL MISSIONS GAME MODE

This kind of combat approach doesn’t really lend itself to skill-based mechanics and this means that some weapons are completely redundant for your arsenal. You unlock these as you progress through the chapters of the game and range from the basic heavy bolter rifle to the wolverine style claws which allow you to get up close and personal in battles. Gunplay feels fine enough if you pick a rapid-fire weapon that ventilates everyone in a close spray, but melee combat and single shot weapons like the plasma rifle feel stodgy to use and far too slow to keep up with the onslaught of enemies in your path. Combat becomes even more of a problem when you consider that this is a team game. The hulking space marines take up a large amount of screen real estate in the thick of it, thanks to their amour and the tiny corridors that you explore. This resulted in far more deaths than be considered polite and in a team game that relies on moment to moment tactics, this is a big pain. As for the squad though, they do come in useful every now and then. It’s always handy to have the extra firepower at your disposal and a healer is a downright necessity for your success. You can command each member of your team to assist with your mission, making them block doorways to slow the tide of Genestealers from behind, while also getting them to protect certain choke points.

In multiplayer, which allows you to play the entire campaign with up to four people. These additional bodies are where the squad mechanics truly shine. Things become a bit more playable here and having a good team with communication makes the slow slog of Space Hulk a far more bearable experience. This mode also provides you more customisation options for your Marine, with different classes being able to bring either offensive or defensive abilities to the fray while also giving you full reign over the weapon options that you would unlock during a single player campaign. The online mode is definitely the best way to sample Space Hulk: Deathwing as it cuts out the faff from the proceedings, but it is still not without its problems due to random disconnects, screens locking up and the aforementioned play space that is far too small for four people. Unfortunately, that makes Space Hulk: Deathwing incredibly hard to recommend. The only way I could possible tell anyone that this is worth a purchase is if they were heavily into the subject matter and have three friends that also share this interest. Otherwise, Space Hulk is a more of an exercise in patience than anything that could be considered fun. The original PC version of Deathwing had two points in its favour: it did rock-solid service for fans of Games Workshop’s grimdark sci-fi universe

EXPANDED ARSENAL

And it wasn’t the worst Warhammer 40K game to come out in 2016 (stand up Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade). On every other front it was a disappointment. A dreary mess of an FPS scarred by bad level design and woeful AI, delivering little more than endless hours of repetitive blasting. This new Enhanced Edition, the game’s debut on PS4, is an attempt to draw a line under that old version and remind everyone that the development team at Streum has – to its credit – spent the last 18 months improving the game. Not an awful lot has happened to the single-player campaign, but the Left 4 Dead-style multiplayer mode gets a new progression system with weapons, armour and customisation unlocks, a new class – the Chaplain – to play as, and new weapons and enemy types. Solo players don’t miss out entirely, with a series of procedurally generated special missions that turn the main campaign’s environments into shorter challenge levels. Meanwhile, a whole ton of bugs and glitches have been firmly ironed out. Is this enough to transform Deathwing into a half-decent Warhammer 40K game? Well, there’s good news and bad. On the bad news front, the main campaign doesn’t play much better than it did 18 months ago. It’s an odd squad-based, first-person shooter where, as a Librarian for one of the fiercest regiments of the Dark Angels space marine chapter, you lead a team of three into the heart of a derelict space hulk.

Here lies an ancient Dark Angels ship containing some dark secrets that would be better left undiscovered. It’s a shame you’re going to find them out. Each mission is a lengthy, heavily armoured plod through winding, poorly-lit corridors and dark industrial chambers, brightened only by the odd grand space of gothic sci-fi architecture. As you and your team clonk and clank along in your Terminator armour, you’ll be swarmed by hordes of the fiendish genestealers, streaming out through every outlet and down from every surface, often straight into the fire of your overheating guns. You have one ranged weapon and one melee weapon with which to hold them at bay, plus a small selection of psionic attacks and defences to deploy. Good luck when there’s a tidal wave of the bastards. Meanwhile, your crew can alternate between following you around and blasting and lending their own unique skills to the fray, including – in your Apothecary’s case – a little healing. You have a quick command tool to make them follow, defend or do their stuff, which could be handy given their often suicidal tendencies. There are some nice moments and some decent stabs at storytelling, but overall this is a great example of how to turn an imaginative license into a less than imaginative game. Your movement is painfully slow – a function of trudging around in all that armour – and aiming isn’t a whole lot snappier.

DEADLY NEW ENEMIES

Your xenomorph foes are neither smart nor scary, seeming to spend most of their time either racing towards you en-masse or standing in the middle of a corridor taking pot shots. They can be deadly, yes, but ingenious or convincing? Nope. You have some interesting heavy-duty guns to wield and some pretty iconic Warhammer 40K melee weapons, yet the firefights are devoid of tension and the close-quarters combat slow and unwieldy. The enemy AI has nothing smarter to do than spam you, and what starts off feeling slightly tense soon grows workmanlike and boring. As for your guys, they have a nasty habit of dawdling in the line of automated turret fire or wandering cluelessly while the genestealers wail away on them. Luckily, if one of your team dies then you can summon a portal and head back to the mothership to revive them – a habit that also triggers the game’s auto-save function. You can do this up to three times a mission. The game does a great job of capturing the dark, industrial sci-fi look and feel of the classic Warhammer 40K universe, but a lot of the same settings and monsters goes an awful long way, and – despite some enhancements to the volumetric lighting – Deathwing still suffers from last-generation level visuals. There’s a lot of good fan service here, buoyed by solid writing and mostly decent voicework. However, if you’re not a 40K fan then this won’t turn you into one. Basically, Deathwing isn’t a whole lot of fun. F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch PS5 

Multiplayer was the saving grace of the original release and it’s still the best way to play Deathwing now. Four of you – either friends or randoms – can quickly jump into a game and tackle any of the campaign’s levels that the host has conquered. With all of you working together to blast the genestealers, the setup makes a lot more sense. There’s no need to contend with the poor space marine AI or struggle with the ropey command interface; you can just focus on blasting the genestealers and fighting as a team. None of the classes feel weak in combat, but each has strengths that can be used to push the crusade forward. There have been moments playing the Enhanced Edition where I realised I was actually having fun. Get together with a fast-moving, tight-knit unit and the action seems to pick up, as the genestealers swarm in from every side and you’re covering each other’s backs just to survive. The new progression system also helps. Level up and you develop new capabilities while also earning points that you can spend on tweaked weapons, perks and cosmetic customisations. In the 40K world this means spikes, skulls, gruesome augmentations, bayonets and other grimdark stuff. When the action starts to lose your interest, the lure of new kit just about maintains it. The package is also improved by the new special missions.

None of this means that I’m going to recommend the Enhanced Edition to anyone who isn’t already a dyed-in-the-wool Warhammer 40K fan. Sure, it’s an improvement on the original, but compare it to nearly any co-op friendly FPS of the last five years and it still falls short. It all comes down to feel and pacing: the combat feels slow and creaky; the AI isn’t interesting to fight; weapons lack impact and excitement; the campaign missions are long and monotonous grinds. And while it picks up with the addition of more players, the Vermintide games, Killing Floor 2, Left 4 Dead do a better job of orchestrating the action and packing in moments of tension and release. Hell, Call of Duty: Zombies does it better. You’d have more fun in a Destiny 2 strike. That doesn’t mean newcomers won’t find enjoyment in it. The environments may be bleak and dark, but the architecture is stunning, and whilst the levels can take a while to trudge through, there are a lot of fine details for you appreciate. The sound design is also spectacular – the Genestealers’ screeches are deafening and unnerving, meaning a frantic fight to gun them down plays out in intense fashion. I played a fair amount with headphones just because I loved the work the game did with creating a terrifying atmosphere. Manoeuvring around the levels is tedious, many because of the hulking armour you wear.
