When it comes to action games on PC, Insomniac Games have proven time and time again to be a powerhouse in the industry. In this article, we will explore some of the best action games on various platforms, as well as the unique qualities that make them stand out from the pack. With countless titles to choose from, ranging from first-person shooters to platformers and everything in between, there's almost certainly something for every gamer. It’s unlikely to convert anyone dubious about the IP, but offers some light fun for those willing to overlook the patina of shonkiness.Dying Light 2 Embracing the World of Action GamesĪction games have always been a prominent genre in the video game industry, providing players with adrenaline-pumping experiences that test their reflexes, reaction time, and strategic thinking. Ultimately Space Hulk: Deathwing is another swing and a miss for a killer Warhammer game, but it does offer moderate thrills for undemanding fans or shooter obsessives who have three mates on call. That may court the ire of the tabletop gaming fans, but the creatures just aren’t terribly scary – they sort of look like mildly nonplussed garden lizards and fail to raise the heart rate even when they’re pouring towards you as a wave. The enemies, also, are a wee bit naff from a design perspective. The prolific number of times a friendly terminator interpreted my “kill everything” order as “walk directly into a wall and keep doing so forever” lost its charm very quickly. The shooting is serviceable but never particularly satisfying and the AI – of both the enemies and your fellow soldiers – is occasionally shockingly bad. The first couple of missions are quite a bit of fun, especially if you’re playing with friends but the game’s flaws are never far away. The Space Hulk is looming and imposing, occupying the mech-suited boots of a Terminator feels appropriately bad arse and your base weapon is a freaking enormous chain gun. Warhammer games tend to skew more towards lifelong fans, featuring obtuse lore and dense worldbuilding, whereas Deathwing clearly owes much of its inspiration to Aliens.
The setting is gratifyingly comprehensible. This band of hard, gruff men are tasked with heading into a massive derelict spaceship called a Space Hulk (not the Bruce Banner kind) and clear out the deadset antisocial aliens that have infested the joint and made a right mess of things. You play a “Librarian” of the Dark Angels 1st company of Space Marines, a group of shooty-bang-bang blokes comprised of Terminators (not the James Cameron kind).
The premise is on-brand bombastic and kinda cool. Space Hulk: Deathwing is the latest attempt to bring the popular tabletop gaming experience into the video game realm, with typically mixed results.
