Simply put, this game is not worth it's price. Just wait for a sale. Gameplay is abyssmal and the story could be better

My critique for this game

Lets start with the campaign cuz it's the main thing that's played in this game.
THE STORY
The story I feel was quite good at the start but later at the end it just flopped so hard. The whole 'Stormcast Vs Orruks' thing was all ok to me honestly. My issue is the way they went of linking the Artifact with Tzeentch but then just decided to be lazy and just not do anything about it and decides to just end the game off on with a shit cliffhanger. It would have made more sense for the wizard to be corrupted or the artifact to be some type of portal for Chaos to warp thru but NOPE nothing of the sort. The wizard is killed off and the artifact just crumbles away as if nothing happened. I at least expected for the Stormcast and the Tzeentch forces to have a go but that didn't happen either. Essentially they just got lazy with the story for the campaign. It was nice though that they incorporated the faction to be from multiple POV's of different factions allowing us to try them all out (except for Nagash}
THE VISUALS AND MECHANICS
The game had some stunning graphics in my opinion with some solid sound design. The cutscences looked quite good as well so I don't really have an issue with the visuals for the game.
Most of the game mechanics were ok, the necessity of using your abilities during combat, the capture points, upgrading buildings and all that. On the more micro level for the controlling of units, I find it quite annoying that the moment units are locked into melee, you can't manually drag them back and the only way you can make them run is to retreat back to your main base which is also annoying. Imagine you have a healing bastion closer to you, it would be a lot easier if you can manually retreat the units back to the healing bastion instead of forcing them to leg it all the way back to spawn and then back to the fight.
Now onto other aspects of the game. Multiplayer, couldn't even try cuz there was no one I could find to play with. Conquest mode was complete rubbish, I thought there would be more progression in the conquest mode but it's just a typical AI skirmish fight that needed to be completed multiple times. The whole point of the mode was just find a way to rack up the most points which is hella boring objective for this mode. I expected it to be like the warhammer 40K dark crusade game where you'll receive benefits from claiming a region but nope, none of that either.
MY OVERALL VERDICT
Visuals: 8/10
Gameplay: 5/10
Story: 3/10 (the ending really killed it for me)
Lorewise: 8/10 (nice incorporation of factions and units per faction)
