It's good, vermintide 2 better, it runs like ass.

Don't buy this game if you care about getting all achievements

- Suppression is useless, say you suppress a recon with a sniper rifle, they still have perfect unhindered aim. If you get a shot on them, even in the face, they suffer absolutely zero aim punch, so you are effectively gambling that they don't fire off a shot quicker than you can connect several on them.

- Sniper rifles have a sweetspot mechanic that's anything but skillful. It's like saying the sweetspot of a shotgun is <5m so they deserve to get instant kills if they manage to get that close, but instead on a sniper at 45, 70, 100m depending on which one, what's the counterplay? You see the rainbow glow on their scope and all you can do is probably hide, throw a smoke if you are support and hope they aren't aiming at you. Get rid of the sweetspot, make the fatal headshots either innate or achievable sooner.

- SMGs and carbines (+ kord) are the only viable automatic weapons. LMGs are slow, take an eternity to aim with, you move slower with them, you have more inaccuracy if you are moving while aiming (never use the RPKM unless you enjoy suffering), mounting a bipod is a death sentence since the aforementioned guns are lasers that let them boink your head while you just try to lead your shots on them which they don't have to do back to you.

- Crossplay is non-optional, I know M&K have an advantage over controller, but giving a ~30% reduction in recoil to all their guns makes them overperform without even trying. Horizontal recoil is not something you can anticipate unless it tends towards a certain direction, so guns that wobble just laser you down (doubly advantageous since the best guns are carbines and SMGs). Then they also have aim assist in the form of sticky aim, so they can be strafing and the game does the aiming for them, snipers will stick to heads as they move their stick around.

- There's 10 maps, that's it. The most recent addition is awful on breakthrough, the only redeeming quality is the new vehicle exclusive to that map.

- I've not played battle royale, but clearly it's diverted attention of the devs to appease the warzone crowd by from what I've seen, making just a worse version of it in every facet.

Originally I had this as a negative review, because there were glaring issues in the form of them changing how the game works from the playtest, to the release. The only difference right now is that of how the skill tree system works, where it is behind a lootbox system, but upon trying it, it probably takes at best as long, or longer than the playtest version to get what you wanted, but it is not behind a premium currency to get the lootboxes. They have reverted the change where items could only be brought into the match at the start through a crafting system that required you to log in daily to collect materials, back to finding items during the match.

The server quality day one was atrocious but it seems to be better than in the playtest now. I'd recommend this game for anyone who likes dead by daylight but it's more light-hearted and games are shorter.

If this game is drugs, then I'm an addict.

I'm patiently waiting for a game in this genre to be fun to play and doesn't completely rely on the dopamine release of snail-paced progression to get a shiny new thing which doesn't live up to expectations. I can't recommend this, because that's not a game, it's work under the guise of a game, except you lose money if you want to feasibly see any progression in a reasonable amount of time.

The game is very fun, but the community is so cliquey and gate-keeping. Even in community servers, people treat the game as though it is life or death, and will spare no second to tell you all your wrongdoings, despite possibly doing the exact same thing, but since their rank is higher, there was "a lot more thought" put in to their execution thus making it justified. It's really unfortunate because the game has a solid core, just no large enough community to dilute the toxicity that has been festering since over the years from the people who've played this game day-in day-out since the mod.

GOTY

The ambience and music of the final stage has to have been the best I've experienced this year.
