My latest huge disappointment. This game single handedly killed my interest in Warhammer for a long time...
of all the things to lob at deffwing, i have no idea how it could possibly kill your interest in warhammer
I was deluding myself that a worthy 40K game will come and quench my thirst. Deathwing was final nail to the coffin for me. (together with DoW 3 fiasco...)

I'm not really seeing what makes this version not suck compared to the original. It just adds new stuff?

I think the only appeal the game has is the setting. If you like 40k/Space Hulk, the game should somewhat scratch that itch.

i don't know (or care) about mp, but the singleplayer is not that great. mostly because you have to babysit the dumbfuck medic AI (not that your other battlebrother is all that smart, but you can give him a pair of claws or a thunderhammer and he's going to be fine). the biggest draw is (like fork said) the setting, but even if you don't like the 40k universe those levels look and feel great and i think would be worth seeing on their own if there wasn't the problem of the aformentioned AI.
if you can get it for 20 westernbucks or something i would recommend it. not a cent more, though.

Free DLC and update:
Space Hulk: Deathwing – Enhanced Edition expands tomorrow with the Infested Mines DLC, available free to all players for free.
Included in the massive update is a new map, Infested Mines, playable in Solo Special Missions and Multiplayer Co-op. With more verticality than any other map, these twisting underground caverns and corridors strike a balance between terrifying claustrophobia and wide-open battlefields.
This brings the total multiplayer map count of the game to eight, each with a massive amount of replayability on different difficulties and with various squad compositions. With improvements made to the general balance of the game as well as specific issues with AI Terminator team-mates, single-player and multiplayer games are improved substantially.
Also included in this update is the ability to turn off the HUD. This can give an additional level of difficulty and realistic feel to the fighting, as well as being the perfect way to make your own fantastic screenshots. On top of that is a raft of bug fixes and tweaks to keep the game running smoothly.
Today's update prepares the release of The Infested Mines DLC tomorrow. It will be available available through the Steam platform using the DLC menu on the game page.
The Infested Mines DLC for Space Hulk: Deathwing – Enhanced Edition will be available tomorrow on PC.

12 bucks on steam now. Worth it?
I would say yes. Most of that price includes the downright excellent visuals, but smacking xenos over the 'ead with a big mace is also fun enough.
I bought it on a whim and I agree with Darth Roxor, Graphics and sound department are excellent, if you like the setting it's worth the price. This goes beyond graphicwhoring, the Art direction is really something, whoever decided how to finalize the visual aspect is clearly very invested in 40K or at least did some extraordinary research on the topic...
As for the game itself, it's marginally better than other tactical shooters when playing with bots, you can give them complex orders and choose their loadout. Additionally, it appears a recent influx of players through Discord has revitalized the MP a bit, I only tried a couple hours of the SP campaign but there were always at least a couple of open servers with people on.
