I went into last night's stream, not sure which which genre CGD was, and it's a turn-based tactics game.</p><p>CGD is both visually &amp; aurally gorgeous, and was I not pretty much trashed, I could have gone on playing for another hour or two.</p><p>However, it feels very lore-dense, with some assumed knowledge, which might be off-putting if someone was buying it cold, without any 40K knowledge.</p><p>A few weeks ago it dropped to a historical low, and I was tempted, but decided against it, which meant that for once, Humble Choice paid for itself.</p><p>Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is a really long name, but it's:</p><p>4: Good</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Warhammer40k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warhammer40k</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChaosGate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChaosGate</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Daemonhunters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Daemonhunters</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TurnBased" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TurnBased</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Tactics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tactics</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MastodonGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonGaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365ONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project365ONG</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project365</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewPlay</span></a></p>
