"Coders will never forgive me for this level": Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 has a rotatable "fleshmetal" puzzle map that drove its own development team crazy

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is something far worse than war. There is: a level that is basically a huge, spinning lock full of tentacles, with your Space Marine or Sister of Battle protagonist naturally serving as the key. Auroch Digital's new FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 launches next week, and I've been chatting to the game's principal designer Matt Bone about some of the more "creative" environments in store. It's a sturdy rule of thumb that all the best ideas in gamedev

Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 Takes the Ultraviolent ‘90s FPS to the Great Outdoors | IGN Preview

I've only played a couple hours of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, blasting through the 45-minute demo as both playable characters, but I've had a rousing time with it. Both characters feel different and exciting with punchy and satisfying weapons. The new level designs – particularly the icy one – have me intrigued to see what else they've cooked up. It's still very much what I'd expect when you say "Warhammer 40K" and "boomer shooter." But that remains a glorious combination.
