You will take on the role of a Rogue Trader, a scion of an ancient dynasty of daring privateers, that reign over their own merchant empire and explore the fringes of Imperial space with the blessing of the Emperor Himself.

GameSkinnyGordan PerisicDec 20239/10 starsA long awaited Warhammer 40K CRPG executed superbly not only in terms of combat but also story, atmosphere, and character building.

PlayStation UniverseJohn-Paul JonesDec 20238.5/10Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is the sort of game that the Warhammer 40K setting has long needed. A disgustingly massive, social calendar swallowing CRPG offering, Rogue Trader's numerous presentation issues aren't enough to distract from its galaxy-spanning odyssey into Games Workshop's most famous and beloved setting.

DualShockersMatthew O’DwyerDec 20238.2/10In the end, the moments of jank and the less-than-gripping combat didn’t diminish my experience or my desire to play. I still enjoyed leveling my character. I still enjoyed building my party, especially where skills were concerned. I was also impressed by the intuitive nature of skill checks. When making a check, the game will automatically select the character with the highest rank in that skill to carry out the check. It’s a small touch, but a nice one. Ultimately, this is an easy game to recommend if you like RPGs that put their narrative forward and build their characters in meaningful ways. It may not find a home in everyone’s collections, but it will be a shining star for fans of the setting who appreciate a narrative focus.

Nintendo LifePJ O'ReillyDec 20254/10Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a cracking bit of turn-based Warhammer action that delivers big on strategic and atmospheric combat whilst also serving you a top-notch, choice-driven narrative and campaign. Hooray. However! This Switch 2 port, at release, is a borderline disaster, and not something I recommend anyone pick up until it's had some patching done.A constantly stuttering frame rate, long loading times, unresponsive and laggy menus and controls, a huge graphical downgrade, and hard crashes aplenty make for a mess of a port. Let's hope they fix it up, because for now, it's a hard pass for a great game.

WayTooManyGamesAndrew CamacJan 20264/10I would highly recommend Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader, just on PC. I’ve no idea how the other console versions perform but sadly the Switch 2 version takes what is an amazing game, charges full whack for it, doesn’t include any of the DLC (because of course why would they?!), and then riddles it full of poor performance and crashing issues.
