Dawn of War 4 pays tribute to its predecessors without reinventing them

Original: Dawn of War 4 clearly loves the Warhammer 40K strategy games that came before, but it misses that they loved to reinvent themselves

Dawn of War 4 has drawn an early critical verdict: the new Warhammer 40,000 strategy game clearly reveres the Dawn of War titles that came before it, but according to Rock Paper Shotgun it lacks the series' defining trait of reinventing itself with each entry. Earlier games shifted between squad tactics, large-scale RTS and MOBA-style combat, a spirit of experimentation the new release reportedly does not recapture.

Why now: A major strategy sequel has just been reviewed, prompting debate among Warhammer 40K fans over whether it honours or merely repeats the series' legacy.
