In terms of fidelity to the source material, Darktide is now the Warhammer 40,000 game to beat.
The universe is a big place, and whatever happens, you will not be missed
I should explain. In 40K, Cadia's an Imperial planet on the edge of a giant hole in reality called the Eye of Terror, leading directly to the daemonverse of Warpspace. The humans who settled there developed violet eyes, probably as a result of being borrow-the-sugar neighbours with the reality-warping Eye of Terror.
Scale is important to 40K, a setting that looks at other science-fiction's robots, guns, spaceships, and population numbers, then says,"We could make all that bigger." The Imperium boasts a million worlds and its hive cities have populations in the billions. You get a sense of that in Darktide when you break out of the cramped corridors of hab blocks that used to be people's homes and look up to see Tertium Hive soaring beyond the edge of the draw distance.
It's common enough for science fiction to point out space is big, but 40K really leans into the feeling of insignificance that comes with that. When there are so many people spread across so many worlds, our modern ideas about individualism must seem laughable. In a world like this, believing one person matters is like believing in feudalism today.
