Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 - Chaos Campaign Expansion

A DLC for the main game, the player finally gets their own Chaos campaign, scripted to suit a storyline. The idea is solid, and if it had been perhaps based upon Abaddon attacking Imperil fleets or worlds across the systems, then it would have been fun as many Chaos and Renegade Legions follow him reservedly, or even planning to kill him at their leisure. You do get a storyline of sorts, but like some missions the first game (Data Retrieval, Protect the Flagship) and the Domination mode in this main game, that so many complained about, that an option for it to be removed from your campaign was added (replaced by Cruiser Clash). Right off the bat you are faced with timed missions, unskippable cutscenes that play while the battle rages on, so the player can only sit on their hands watching things play out unable to take part and stealth missions (my pet hate). Worst design decisions yet, and as outlined already, both games have had their share. Also, how many times do you have to destroy the Phalanx (at least 3 by my count now)? Added to that are the escort missions, that I think are universally hated in every strategy game ever, and you have a very frustrating, rage-quitting campaign. So, why the positive rating? Because you can play as Chaos in a campaign, as both traitors (Word Bearers), and renegade (Alpha Legion) factions, not to mention the Black Legion. Frustrating as all get out? Absolutely. Spittle covering your screen as you rage yet again after failing a mission for the silliest reason? For sure. Should you buy it on special? Absolutely.
