Summary
I have been playing Inquisitor for what feels like years, it started as an early access game and had a rough start to life with loot problems, and performance issues and generally, it went badly. The devs persevered and it is now one of if not the best Warhammer games in years. What they have created is an actual functioning Warhammer 40k Diablo but added enough of their own ideas to have their gameplay feel good. The ultimate edition takes the already polished experience and made it even better with much-improved graphics and textures, the game loads faster and you have so much DLC that you will be playing for months! What I really like is how accessible the game is, the atmosphere the controls, and the high level of customisation, it’s just an all-around feel-good time. Yeah, it sucks you have to pay for the upgrade but saying that it is a substantial amount of new content and improvements plus you get a discount. To further align with Diablo they do frequent seasons and events so you always have a reason to play, the rewards are always something to show off, I like that you can fully change the appearance of your hub area, the pets the cosmetics it’s all just really good. I’m just excited that I have a Warhammer game that nailed what I personally wanted and then added more on top. Of course, it has a few issues but it’s a Looter RPG it’s always part of it. If you have the base game then maybe push for the upgrade discount because it is worth it but it’s a jig ask if you already have the game and all the DLC but it depends then on performance more than anything. Not since Warhammer 40k Space Marine have I enjoyed and continue to enjoy a Warhammer game, Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor Ultimate Edition is the real deal and well worth your time!
