Space Hulk Deathwing Xbox One Release Date: A Mixed Bag of Bugs and Improvements

The latest installment in the Space Hulk series, Deathwing, has finally made its way to the Xbox One platform. This Enhanced Edition promises to fix many of the problems that plagued the original game, but does it live up to expectations? Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding 'maybe.'

One of the biggest issues with the original game was the lack of power from the Terminators, which are known for their sheer strength and resilience. In this Enhanced Edition, they're still somewhat lacking in this regard, making them vulnerable to basic light gunfire or even heavy damage from blast radii.

On the other hand, the new special missions offer a welcome injection of replay value into the game. These additional objectives provide players with more incentive to escape missions with a perfect score, rather than simply rushing through them. The rewards for achieving these goals are also much more satisfying, ranging from cosmetic upgrades to full-scale reworkings of plating.

The story follows the Dark Angels' First Company, an elite unit of Space Marines dispatched to carry out clandestine operations and high-risk situations. While this is an interesting concept, it's ultimately secondary to the core gameplay issues that still plague the game. Despite fixes to essential programming problems and new cosmetic choices, Deathwing's Enhanced Edition falls short of perfection.

The series has always been known for its inconsistent quality, with some games shining while others falter. Space Hulk: Ascension is a great example of this, as it took an existing concept and improved upon it. However, Deathwing's Enhanced Edition doesn't quite live up to the same standard.

Overall, fans of the series may find some joy in the new additions and improvements, but for everyone else, it might be worth waiting until more reviews come out before diving in.
