If there’s anything that can be said of Games Workshop of late, it’s that it hasn’t shied away from licensing video games – a trend that was lampooned far better than I could ever aspire to by this article.
With so many studios involved in bringing one company’s creative vision to life, it should come as no surprise that the quality of these games is somewhat inconsistent. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is tremendous sequel to an already great game, for example; Bloodbowl 2 is rough around the edges but otherwise a pretty faithful recreation of its tabletop counterpart; the Horus Heresy game currently in steam early access, meanwhile, looks kind of bobbins.
Bearing all this in mind, it feels counterintuitive to write an article urging Games Workshop to license Yet Another of its properties out to a video game developer, and yet I think there’s a Warhammer property screaming for a digital release, and that game is Shadespire.
