TL;DR? If you have never played Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater, Delta isn’t bad, if you have... Well, you have already played this game once, and if you are a fan, you have done so more than once.

Delta is a code for code remake, and while it suffers from weird performance issues, the biggest problem is that it's a game that either you played in the '00s, and this game does feel like it, or you have never played it. Impressive looking, but even the Phantom Pain plays better, even if it's not the better game. If you have never played any MGS, Delta isn't a bad one to pick up, it is maybe not the best starting place nor is it the best game of the mechanics it has, see Phantom Pain, nor is it really doing anything special and that's kind of the damning praise. If you made a movie shot-for-shot but did nothing to make it different or new, is that a movie worth seeing again?

The long answer for me is yes, but I don't know if that's just the nostalgia to relive something again, vaguely fresh. Snake Eater was always the tightest of the narratives, but that’s also why it's kind of the weakest of the Metal Gear Solid franchise in terms of understanding it. There isn't a Meh button, and while I don't regret the money I spent to relive the magic again 20 years later, I don't know if I can safely tell other people it has magic for the full retail.

The best RoboCop Movie you can play.

While a linear series of thrills, this game has a real heart and charm to bring you a story you know but don't. Reference playing tribute instead of cheap nostalgia hits, with a few fun twists.

The story is nothing you have seen before if you watched 2 and 3 or manage to remember the series or Prime Directives, but it is still a fun light game completed in one weekend if you really want. The last few missions building to a hell of a fun climax.

A few glitches keep it from being a master piece but if you’re a cyberpunk or Robocop fan you, it def hits a specific itch.

You like TNG? You like Stellaris/EU4? Want to play TNG in Stellaris but not a bolted on silly mod or fight with the crazy mod manager. DOES INFINITE HAVE A SOLUTION!

Another time were I wish there was a Meh option. Ultimately if Star Trek Stellaris sounds like a good time, the game is for you, if you don't like either of those or only like one I might steer clear. I have more positive than negative feelings on the game, and it did keep me occupied for a solid weekend of play time just doing the Feddies.

As a TNG fan, its very fun to relive the episodes that show up as adventure seeds but its also kind of lack luster as someone who also plays Stellaris. It needs more focused polish and some reworks; the science/warship divide kind of breaks the game for the federation, there is option to include Disrupters and world killers on federation ships and by default they get equipped. Some missions won't kick off without some hard kicking and weird tweaking to get working. Had three different game soft locking moments. Some instructions unclear. RNG can hose you for some of the better missions.

Still having the Star Trek music blasting as you have Worf and Riker leading fleets in a deceive battle for Bajor in the third Cardassian Federation war, is kind of neat.

Evolve or be Filtered. Replay, upon replay. A story that only gets better as you learn more. Every challenge makes you better, and there is a real reward for learning new weapons, or mastering old ones, and trying everything you can to reach past the challenge blocking your progress. Very few games reward your effort and time AC6 only gives more and more as you advance.

This is a game that dares you to write it off as a trash game, it however is much more than that.

An RPG carefully hiding as a 4X game. Choices will be made, they are all bad ones, your dynasty will be filled with the best of your age, dying, leaving you with the morons you tried to kill Crusading with. Such is life, 11 out of 10 would murder my brother’s family to the last man again.

Bottom Line: DoW3 is a game that tries to strive for a middle ground of its two often polarizing sister games but ultimately doesn't take any risks, going back to basics in a way that is ultimately uninteresting and unsatisfying. The game isn't bad but isn't anything to get excited about at the same time.

Dawn of War 3 greatest crime might be that it is different. And that's kind of the greatest sin it has. In ways it’s a step backwards from its predecessors in other ways it is a move forward from those predecessors. The idea for the designs is pretty clear; create a rapid fire back and forth for MP gaming. Is it worth getting? Eh... Maybe in a month or two?

The Good;
+ It is kind of a more faithful recreation of Tabletop in some ways.
+ Elites feel like the BAMF they are supposed to be in that all important canon.
+ Simple to learn, hard to master style of playing leads to some intense moments.
+ Armies are actually different enough from each other that they don't feel like re-skins of each other.
+ Army Painter is the best we have ever gotten, and while missing a lot things that would be nice, like changing Insignias, and color. Still allows you to create fun little armies.
+ Do you like Warhammer 40000 novels? Because the plot is actually pretty cool one in comparison to others.
+ Power Core is an interesting Idea.

The Bad:
- Such Content. Much lacking. Wow.
- TWO game mode.
- Games will blur together.
- Campaign is built to teach you how to MP, complete with rewards for playing it.
- Only Three races.
- No Camera rotation or tilt

The Weird:
= Its likely other armies will get added to the game as DLC.
= Unknown if the game will actually be worth the money of investment, depending on how the heat dies down and if the game picks up enough to warrant future development.
= Modding is "available" and underwelming.

The hot button issues:

THE CARTOON LOOK!
The art direction for Units is directly taken from the Tabletop Minis. YMMV but considering I was a fan of the war game this works for me. It can look a little cartoon, but then again depending on your feelings of Grim Dark it works or doesn't. DoW looks like it came out of that animation studio that did Spawn, DOW2 ditto, so not sure what the problem is. Some of the art is weird but again looks like it took cue from actual early art of the Franchise.

NO COVER, NO SUPPRESSION and NO MORAL!
I think the intent for this can be seen. It leads the game to playing more tactically fluid and moving units around in careful plans or being really good with your hot keys. It's not necessarily a bad thing it does mean you can't lock down a position with a unit and rain death down on them or hold an area quite in the same way. No Turtling, making playing the Imperial Fists pointless. There are ways to lock down areas of the map with units through heavy cover points. There is a stealth field that in theory could take advantage for sudden strike. However, it really doesn't help much. The game does feel like its missing something when you can't dig in to a point with a few units while you build up for the next big push.

Unpopular opinion time? The moral system of CoH and DoW1 was more clunky and a waste of time for everyone than an actually tactic changing mechanics, at least in my games. Some mods for the earlier games have a feature to force a retreat from the units who break but even then... The lack of Suppression does hurt the game and does limit some units’ abilities to be truly effective, it can lead to interesting moments but ultimately vast massive mobile armies crashing into each other for fun and profit is the name of the game.

Which is ultimately kind of old school but not in a way that is actually enjoyable after games like Company of Heroes and the First Dawn of War.

IT’S MOBA LIKE!
Yea, thing it is, it’s not a MOBA but it is defiantly MOBA LIKE. The one game mode is attack the special object which has two check points all the maps are built like lane gates to these objectives. There is no real ability to build up a defense that can defend these point because the game is built on being mobile and attacking your targets. Is this a game killer? Yes and No, firstly that Mobile armies build around Rock-paper-scissors means you can quickly build an army to counter an invading force and then smash them up with your "Heroes" for the most part it creates a back and forth that either results in some stale games or quick games depending on your match up.

NO SYNC KILLS!
They removed them in DoW2 – Retribution, and out of skirmish since Dark Crusade, so whining about it now seems a little too little too late. I can see why this kills the momentum and can turn some units into just meat shields to buy time for something else to just kill them outright. Honestly this does make the game feel less organic and kills some of the excitement.

THE LORE, THE CANON!

Shut the ♥♥♥♥ up.

CS Goto is Canon. Matt Ward is Canon, Rogue Trader First edition is Canon. The Space Marine Movie is Canon. The Fantasy Flight RPG line is canon. The Angry Marines are Canon. It is all canon, and nothing is canon. Welcome to the Girm, Dark future of the 41st Millennium, where canon doesn't matter and the Lore is made up anyway. I honestly hate this argument more than anything else because it’s like what canon are you talking about as the great set in stone CANON changes every edition.

Final Thoughts:
The game is not what I wanted from DoW and after giving it a shot, I went back played the first two and came to realize while DOW3 is a decent game, it’s not a game I really would recommend to my friends and gaming group. It isn't the crazy massive war of insanity that DoW1 brought to the table. It does not have that cool style and ease of play that I love about DoW2. It's not the tactical land mine that were the CoH. It's kind of its own thing. Which isn't bad just didn't really wow me, I have several games like that in my game list from the RTS genre that I haven't touch in years. And while it was fun to return to those roots in DoW3, all it did was remind me that "You can't go home again." Which is more than about a place it’s about the knowledge of different things, sometimes better. Sometimes worst but ultimately it just isn't the same after you had that different things. Especially after you realize you like the different thing better. The game is trying to go home and we are far too old for that sort of thing these days.
