Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (PC)

Very Good, much blood spill. The emperor sanctions this game.

You choose, pay, play! Instant gaming to the moon mf!!

The game is very fun and even more grim. Just how i like it. Its the incarnation of a warhammer hack and slash game.

It work all went well and game is fun to play if you fan of Vermintide 1 and 2 you will feel right at home

Solid game especially after the update. They made the progression system and UI really nice!

hell yea

Avoid this game like the plague while you may be enticed by the graphics and left4dead style gameplay AVOID IT while I will admit the game is beautiful it has so many issues I don't even know where to start Stutter and poor performance which devs have acknowledge but refuse to fix, selling the game off to tencent who then added a gatcha system meaning better gear is based on a shop which refreshes every few hours like their previous titles loot got better as you leveled up here their is absolutely no guarantee you'll get better gear after hundreds of hours and more importantly no conformation of a weapons workshop was confirmed at launch this game is just coming up to bear a year old and still it has not been added and they continue to add changes nobody wants continuing to make the game worse and worse giving your money tothem only encourages them to keep making these titles when they're good after a year which is fine but these are not cheap games which brings me to my final issue and that is character customisation the devs promised really good character creation so far I have seen thousands of players at the time of this review who all look like me and no character creating here is awful not one of the faces look great I get that it's meant to be dark and dystopian but their is no reason for all of them to look like meth addicts

SKIP

Wait for the devs to fix this game, it goes much worse compare to launch. Game is slow, you got hirrible fps, matchmaking suxs. Crashing for the love of god i dont know game that crashes more than this garbage, just wait for fixes and updates

The game has beatiful graphics, immersion, atmosphere and decent combat aswell but it's just so damn repetitive that you get burnt out kind of fast, but If you enjoy the stunning graphics and ofcourse the warhammer universe, than i'd say go for it.

Stay clear of this game. Not worth buying. I have been playing this on Game Pass and it crashes constantly.

While the game might have some potential, the sheer amount of crashes makes this game not fun at all. You are more focused on when the next crash is going to happen than having fun.

It’s worth buying as long as u have a good pc don’t expect that the game will look good if u r using a bad pc. Apart from that the game is amasing reminds me of doom eternal. I recommend it for those that don’t have a lot of free time but like playing rpgs.

Negatives:

> Crafting system is unfinished and slowly being rolled out still for a ''finished game'' is unacceptable

> Despite the recent patches Crashes are still prominent as well as optimisation still being a joke

> Fat Shark (Developers) prioritised Micro-transactions over making sure the game was stable on Day 1

> Tons of content that was promised still has yet to be implemented

> Still no new option to pick which level we want to play so if you want to play a specific mission good luck as you can be waiting hours since Fat Shark have not added the option to let you choose

> Since launch only 1 new mission has been added and well if you want to play it refer to my previous point

> Once you reach lvl 30 which is the max lvl so what do you get for putting all that time in to this baron wasteland a single charm and portrait for your efforts so what do you do now absolutely nothing as this game has no end game content not a single thing as once again Fat Shark has prioritised making money as apposed to focusing on end game content and everything else

> Cut scenes which are not even a minute long telling you how disposable you are as if they don't mention that every 5 minutes already which feel so pointless and are such a waste of talent and just feel rushed I really do hope their is more to it as it really is disappointing

> Since this game is gaining popularity Toxic players are slowly on the increase and with no report system it's excruciating

> Mediocre Character creations since you'll end up finding hundreds of other players that look identical to yours

> Heavy amounts of FOMO (Fear of missing out) you see an outfit in the store and with the way the outfits work if you don't buy it you'll panic you won't see the outfit for a while again so out of desperation you buy it it's such a disgusting system and extremely predatory and needs to stop just let people buy the outfits whenever they want

> HDD or SSD no matter what you install the game on loading times are basically the same thanks to the atrocious optimisation

> Missing weapons which are only now being slowly rolled out specifically the Ogryn weapon which was only just added despite him holding it on the cover of the game

> Sadly due to a recent hotfix my graphic settings keep being reset meaning I have to keep setting my graphic settings every time I launch which is super frustrating and adds more issues again

> Many arn't aware but Fatshark used to be an Indie studio till they got brought by tencent and now the game has many Gacha systems in place for example having to wait for the store to refresh as apposed to just getting higher and higher level gear it has this annoying RNG system unlike Vermintide 2 where the game would just offer you better items here you could be waiting 50 minutes or more for a certain item or weapon assuming that once the crafting system drops it'll work exactly the same as the armoury again adding more frustration for players

> Not enough cosmetics are offered unless you're willing to fork over money for better ones and just honestly not enough variety

> Depending on the player you may agree with me or not but one Issue I have is in Vermintide 2 you were able to acquire items for other characters such as if you played Markus Kruber you could get a box at the end that could include weapons for Kerillian but now if you want weapons you have to play the specific class which just ends up adding far more grind to the game which again another Gacha system implemented since the Tencent takeover

> I also saw that we were supposed to able to earn Aquielas through playing as someone mentioned it on the discord and now 0 mention of that although to be fair Fatshark have not really been communicating at with the players which again leads to more issues



So what exactly are the benefits to picking this game up you may wonder well

> Solid Gameplay

> Great Voice acting

> An Amazing OST especially Disposal Unit which plays when going head to head with the Boss on the Assassination missions

> A decent amount of Special units which all look very cool

> So far their is no P2W but I guess that may change in the future

So for me the general consensus is you should absolutely stay away from this game for now I truly want this game to succeed but as usual Fat Shark just like in Vermintide 2 release games which upon release feel like they're still in beta and only in a year will we see if this game is what it was supposed to be at launch the only reason to pick the game up would be either on a sale or to get a head start but I sadly cannot recommend this game in any way and after this massive let down of a game i'm honestly considering making this my last Fat Shark purchase as this game is honestly unacceptable and the 2nd time they have pulled this kind of thing they had several delays and both an open and closed beta and after a week after launch the quality is just not good at all several delays and it's barely sub-par and only now are they deciding to fix everything they should have at launch they should have kept the early access tag on it as this 100% needed more time in the oven and feels incredibly rushed.
