Got it for $24, and that included both Season Passes and the base game. It's been well worth that price. I'm always a little sketchy on Warhammer games because it feels like they're either dog-shit or ok/goodish —there's never much in-between. This one, however, was actually really good. Graphically it's very nice, and the single-player story was also pretty good, even for a newer Warhammer fan like me who's still learning the lore. The gameplay, though? That's where it's at. The melee and gunplay are phenomenal. The gore, the impact, and the sheer brutality of it all feel like an early 2000s game and hit that adrenaline spike that keeps you wanting to play. I'd give it an 8.5/10 at minimum. Some days it honestly feels even better than that. The one flaw that drags the score down is the grind. For a new player, getting even a single class to a workable state for Operations, Multiplayer, or Siege is about 100 hours of grinding. They really need to increase the XP gains, especially now that the game has been out for a while. On top of that, weekends should give an even bigger XP boost to help newer players catch up
