It has such a satisfying gameplay loop; I just keep coming back to piling into a crowd of enemies with my 8-foot-tall thick-as-mince Ogryn. I love the crunchy feedback from wheeling a giant pickaxe overhead into a mauler's helmet and crushing it like a can of spaghetti bolognese beneath an elephant's foot. I never tire of crashing a big metal mace the size of a bollard into a line of heretics and watching them go clattering across the floor like bowling pins, while their comrades break and flee in jibbering panic.
Panic, mayhem, slaughter and rations. Gruttin' greeeeaaat!

Warlockracy, a very amusing Ukrainian YouTuber, said that GSC Gameworlds also announced they wouldn't be releasing the sequel in Russian, leading to an online Russian social media and forum incident known as "[Slur presumably aimed at Ukrainians]-gate".

If they already believe they're at war with the West, then the West should act like it.
If the Russian government actually brings down a civilian flight, they should expect all hell to be let loose, up to and including direct Western involvement in the form of air strikes. France has already mentioned the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, and I'd like to see other countries get more involved now that Russia has brought in soldiers from Iran and North Korea.

I take calls, answer general questions, raise cases, and babysit pants-crapping software that goes down with alarming frequency due to the intervention of someone in one of the IT teams.
Yeah, me too...with the cutscenes muted though, probably. I've been dreading it. ðŸ«
