## Key points

- Rogue Trader is now presented as worth revisiting.
- Three years of support have improved the experience.
- Owlcat’s launch quality remains a concern.

## Summary

PC Gamer argues that Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is now worth playing, three years after its launch. The recommendation reflects the view that developer Owlcat’s role-playing games can arrive in an unfinished state but improve substantially over time.

The game is a computer role-playing game set in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe, where players command a Rogue Trader. The article frames its appeal around its dense systems, grim setting and the accumulated benefit of post-launch support, while retaining criticism of Owlcat’s initial release quality.
