===The Skub Part===
Since it was released on early access on the [[Fail|Epic Game Store, there will be no mods until the Steam release a year from now.]]

Reception has been [[Skub|mixed]] to say the least. Some praise the transition of the art style from 2D to 3D as beautiful and a natural evolution of the art style, adding greater weight to animations and emotion to characters. Others found the new 3D models and animations uncanny and unnatural, the realistic proportions of playable characters and corrupted horrors taking away from the unique 2D style of the first game. The relationship system is also another big point of contention, with some enjoying it for replacing the affliction system or granting more narrative options between [[Your Dudes]], while [[Nurgle|others]] dislike it just for being [[Tzeench|changed]]. It has also been subject to some criticism on its implementation, like how the frequent occurrence of relationship events during battle slows it down and distracts players from the battle. Relationship events are also random and often unprovoked, at times making your characters mood swing harder than [[Perturabo]]. For example, your Plague Doctor [[Butthurt|may lose affection towards your Grave Robber for stealing a kill]], [[Wat|then immediately regain that affection the following turn when the Grave Robber scores a critical]]. Some criticize the relationship system as being too unbalanced instead, where proper management of stress and relationships can easily [[Cheese|snowball into a cheap victory]], while letting everyone hate each other quickly [[TPK|snowballs into an unsalvageable defeat]]. The new narrator, also voiced by Wayne June, is not exempt from [[Skub|contention]] either. On top of all that, there is the fact that the game itself is radically different then its predecessor, causing some to wish for a more direct sequel.

Of course, at this point in time it's still in development and drastic changes may still happen, and not everybody will be satisfied with the final product regardless. All we can do is wait for the final product and make our [[Skub|judgements]] then.

The returning Stuart Chatwood's soundtrack is still indisputably one of the best of all time, no contest.
