Bro zombies, run around and shoot them!
Worth 60 dollars for that alone

i've sunk this many hours and with continue to do so for better !!!

The hybrid combat of ranged and melee was something a lot of tide fans were worried and unsure how fatshark was gonna pull off and with it being one of the major selling points it was really worrying that it might end up terrible. But it is phenomenal, the combat is tense and electrifying. Watching someone bring your team from the brink of defeat with clever movement and battlefield placement and manage to make it all the way to rescue your teammates is some of the most fun i've ever had playing this game, the weapons all function in a fairly unique enough way (even with variants on the same weapon type) that each one dramatically affects how you must approach the battlefield, the toughness mechanic is perfect and really fits in with the gameplay styling of warhammer, making you charge forward with your team towards the gunfire rather than cower in fear.

However
The game has launched with many stability and gameplay issues, also with fatshark being unhappy with the state of their crafting system they ripped it out of the game mere days before release and have yet to give us feedback on when it will be launched, as well as the rest of the weapon variants and new weapons held back from the beta are yet to of been dropped into the game yet with no confirmation on when other than vague answers from forum posts. It deeply pains me to post this as a negative review cause i love this game, but in its current state i cannot recommend it to my friends as i feel they would get immediately and deeply frustrated with the amount of disconnection errors, crashes, and gameplay issues.

I will try and keep this review updated as time goes on, as vermintide 2 also launched in a fairly mangled state, and over the course of time it was updated and polished into one of my most played games on my account, and i feel darktide will be no different, but at this time unless you can put up with the amount of issues still present i say dont buy the game just yet.

*edit as of 12/8/2022
As the second week rolls ahead the devs have finally given us some actually helpful feedback, showing us plans for the things they want to add, specific weapons they are going to add as the days come by, and the much anticipated crafting! While stability is still an issue it is a marked improvement.

*Edit as of 2/22/2023
They have finally implemented crafting improved from the original ideas, buffed a bunch of weapons, made it to where you get weapons and rewards for every completed mission, things are looking way up for this game things are fun as hell. I'd recommend this game at this point, just watch out for bugs and crashes.

I had to unstinall and refund this game cause i dont own a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thrustmaster t16000m :\

This is long
TL;DR the game has a lot of good ideas but more worse ones, and ones that weigh the game down beyond mediocrity, turning the game into a incredibly frustrated slog halfway through

Man oh man, this is a huge conflict in my head but ima go with this aint worth it. This game has an issue, and its rooted in it trying to be so much more than DOOM 2016. All of the new enemies are wild and new and do well, the most possible annoying things. The game has a momentum issue, in a game where you are encouraged to jump and fly around the map and switch between all your weapons to get tons of awesome kills on the demon populace of earth, it sucks that there is SO MUCH that absolutely HALTS the momentum. The scraps of ammo forcing you to constantly empty whole guns on tougher enemies and scramble to chainsaw a smaller zombie or imp, enemies with tons of attacks that forcibly move you and stop you on top of reducing your look speed, enemies requiring specific weapons to combat reducing the amount you use your whole arsenal, and most notably the marauders.

here is where I will gripe about the marauders and how they actually ruin the game for the rest of this review
The marauders are a major major issue in the game, each fight halts the gameplay and FORCES you to focus on only them, if you dont you will be killed by them almost immediately even on lower difficulties. Worst of all if you even attempt to play outside of the EXTREMELY specific and incredibly vaguely defined parameters the marauder allows you to fight in, you are heavily punished. Hell the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ can even juggle you around with his attacks as they all reduce your movement and push you around. On top of all that, he blocks ALL quick kills in the game. The instant kill crucible? he blocks it. The extremely deadly unmakyr players have to work incredibly hard to get? he blocks it. The legendary BFG9000, one of the deadliest weapons in DOOM history? he blocks it. Once again FORCING you to play by HIS rules. The only real effective weapons against him are the railgun and super shotty, weapons that have EXTREMELY limited ammo, so you either make every shot count or try to chainsaw an enemy while he bullies you. On top of all that is the ways he punishes you. If you shoot his shield at all: he sends out a wolf that you cannot dodge that does 40 to 60 damage, if you aren't looking at him, he darts as close as possible to shoot you with the shotgun, reducing your movement and look speed on top of taking a hefty chunk of health. If you're too close he shoots the shotgun, if you're too far he shoots tracking projectiles at you, if you're in range he will dart around in and out of range of his ONLY attack that allows you to retaliate making it incredibly difficult to even keep track of.

This blows, i hate it so much, cause the game has so much good ♥♥♥♥ in it, the equipment is all fantastic, the actual weapons sound and feel so much chunkier, the new weapons are great additions, the weakpoint system is really satisfying albeit a little too important, and the old enemies brought back to this game are super fun to fight and look fantastic. It sucks that it gets bogged down by a myriad of horrible ideas in the quest of trying to make new enemies and ways to fight.

Gotta get that aluminum and nanocarbon somehow

An amazing unorthodox story, amazing music, extremely satisfying gameplay that only gets better as you learn how to play it better and better, there's a reason i kept coming back into this game over and over.

Buy katana zero, its great.

Its really boring for the first 200+ hours and then it gets really bad.

I hate this game so much, its great best MMO

Hit big dinosaurs with sticks or shoot them with machine guns until they die for science, its really fun

This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad lmao, its made even moreso if you ended up playing new vegas first, a game that takes all of the skeleton of this game and puts so much more onto it. This game has a terrible repair system that requires you to invest most of your points into just your repair only to get a little over a quarter, the recovery system has you cramming tiny 2hp pellets of food every encounter and then scrambling to find anything to survive, and worst of all the game punishes you for trying to play an RPG. Almost every quest or interaction has a single way of getting to the goal punishes you with either a group of people getting angry at you or you losing even more money just to progress. The closest thing to choice you get in these interactions is passing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ speech check to get 10 or 20 more caps, or if you have a bunch of strength you just get to skip the whole quest.

Wholeass game sucks buy NV instead, better yet buy outer worlds
