There’s been a surge in Warhammer games over the past few years, and many of them have been disappointing, so Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr has a lot of work to do if it’s to set itself apart from the crowd of let downs set in the grimdark universe. Not only does it have the struggle of pleasing that fanbase, Inquisitor - Martyr has the added pressure of being an action-RPG in the vein of Diablo, which even Blizzard struggled to get right in 2012 with Diablo 3.
Developer Neocore’s approach to solving this two-pronged challenge is first spotted in the game’s name: Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr. The title has so many syllables that it feels as if it’s only a few short of a novella - this is a game all about size. It’s clear from the start that you aren't going to finish the main campaign in a day or two, which is plenty to chew through by itself, and yet, like the words added to the title after the colon and hyphen, there is even more added whether you want it or not. This comes in the form of a substantial endgame made to entertain you once you’ve finished levelling your character.
While you wait for Inquistor, here are the best RPGs on PC.
Unsurprisingly, Neocore throws out the term ‘open world’ to describe Inquisitor - Martyr’s layout, but that claim rings false once you get into the game proper. There are different maps to explore, but don’t expect to be running around a sandbox in search of the next quest hub. This is primarily a mission-based game that sees your Inquisitor operating from a central console inside their spaceship.
Fortunately, this pursuit of the gargantuan hasn’t got in the way of Inquisitor - Martyr’s aesthetic. This is a cool-looking game. The gothic fantasy of Warhammer 40K can be hard to nail, but for the most part the hulking cathedral spaceships, disgusting servants of chaos, detailed star maps, and distinct techno-goth vibes are all realised excellently among its brooding grimdark world.
