Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Po 4 godzinach w Mechanicum 2 czuję się jak w domu – ten sam mroczny klimat Mechanicum 1, ten sam tech-priestowy vibe. Gra wygląda i brzmi świetnie, a możliwość grania Nekronami to naprawdę super sprawa, frajda z nich jest ogromna.Niestety na razie walka i misje wydają się trochę za bardzo liniowe. Przydałoby się więcej taktycznych wyborów i decyzji. Jak na razie jest dobrze, ale nie rewelacyjnie.Dla fanów jedynki na pewno warto, ale na pełną ocenę muszę pograć dłużej.7/10

AAA

I love the first game, having played until achieved all endings, but this games has a lot of graphical glitches and stability issues. In fact, it seems to be in the classical loop of buggy release and when they fix something they create new problems. I can't recomend the game in this state, even if it's playable.

Mechanicus II isn't a masterpiece, but I loved it, and it's definitely a sequel that proves the series is on the path to becoming one. It builds on nearly every aspect of the first game and delivers another awesome strategy experience that perfectly captures the atmosphere of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The original featured deeper character customization and more opportunities to min-max builds, while the sequel shifts the focus toward battlefield tactics and team composition. At times, I missed the freedom of the first game's systems, but the new design encourages some genuinely interesting strategic decision-making and creates a satisfying gameplay loop all its own. Unsurprisingly, the game also has an incredible soundtrack, excellent voice acting (seriously it's incredible), and some of the most memorable Adeptus Mechanicus characters I've seen in a Warhammer title. The story is occasionally predictable, but the strength of the performances and the unique personality of the Mechanicus make the journey totally worthwhile. With that said, Mechanicus II still feels somewhat undercooked in places, which is a complaint I also had about the first game. Cutscenes often lack the music and sound effects needed to give key moments the weight they deserve, while combat arenas can become repetitive due to their limited environmental interaction and lack of verticality. The inclusion of the League of Votann was exciting, and their uneasy alliance with the Mechanicus offers a glimpse into a fascinating relationship between two technologically obsessed factions, but their role in the story ultimately feels underdeveloped. Additionally, the game offers a full Necron campaign alongside the Mechanicus story, but unless you're deeply invested in Necron lore, it's difficult to justify another forty-hour playthrough for what appears to be a largely similar experience...I skipped it. Despite these shortcomings, Mechanicus II succeeds where it matters most: atmosphere, gameplay, and personality. The developers have clearly learned a tremendous amount from the first game, refining the formula and delivering a sequel that feels larger, bolder, and more confident. If the team continues down this path and addresses some of the rough edges in a future Mechanicus III (which I sincerely hope they do) I genuinely believe the series has the potential to become one of the best strategy franchises, especially in the Warhammer universe.

This game is very different from the first mechanicus. The entire approach to tactical combat is wildly different. I think it's a positive, but mostly I think it's different. The reason it has the mechanicus name is that it's a sequel to the story from the first game. Knowledge of the first game is not required to play this one, just be aware it's not really in the same style as the first mechanicus. I think that misplaced expectation has soured the taste for a lot of people, like if you eat chocolate covered peanuts thinking they're chocolate covered raisins. The first thing you notice is the difference and your instinct is to reject it, but chocolate covered peanuts are nice, actually. The tactical combat is good, but some of the stuff surrounding it is weak (namely the music). Good game though, 7.5/10, buy when on sale if possible

Plays differently to the fist game but I don't think that's a negative. I like the graphics and the more personalized Magos you play as and the war map is cool. Is more difficult and like the first game your mission can be screwed by bad luck but at a mission duration averaging only 15-20 min. its not that big of a deal to restart a mission as the game does use random seed gen. Ive not had performance issues but the game does run hard for its graphic levels. Poor autosave system so remember to manual save where possible. All in all game is good so far but wait for sale for most people.

Якщо чесно, гірше ніж перша частина. Ніби є якись розвиток ідеї, є нова фракція. Але от сама гра... Ну якась ніяка
