From Polygon: "While you play an anonymous commander, there are three central characters on the Baleful Edict: a duty-bound veteran, a slightly unhinged tech-priest tuned to the whispers of the “Machine God,” and an ambitious young Inquisitor whose arrival kickstarts the plot. Each of them are superbly written, voiced, and directed, and they each reveal a surprising amount of nuance as the Nurgle spread across the galaxy. The three of them also bounce off of one another wonderfully as the tensions onboard mount and your campaign lumbers towards its epic conclusion.
Daemonhunters’ writing, story, and characters are easily its best attributes. I went in expecting scrupulous turn-based combat, but came out wondering whether I should read one of many tie-in novels. With mentions of “ancient archeotech,” “astropathic whimsy,” and “ruinous algorithms,” it’s exactly the kind of opulent, over-the-top stuff I love. Daemonhunters may only focus on a single faction, but by hyperfocusing on the Grey Knights, it manages to adeptly explore some of Warhammer 40K’s most interesting and expressive elements. From concepts of the “Warp” and the “Cult of the Machine” to thickly laden themes of corruption and heresy — this is that grimdark universe at its very best."
