As a massive fan of 40k, and a player of Vermintide 2, I can not recommend this game. Here is why.

=technical issues=
- The game chugs, chugs hard. Struggling not to lag on a 3070.
- Constant reuse of assets, all "maps" feel the same, it gets boring and bland very quickly.
- Constant disconnects / errors / crashes.

=gameplay issues=
- Very poor progression. You get better by getting the same gun from "green" to "blue". Absolutely no sense of getting stronger, its just a numbers game.
- There is no armour system in the game. Clothing is purely cosmetic. Such a missed opportunity with having pieces of armour like in other games, making our own outfits etc... just so so disappointed to see this not implemented.
- Some bosses feel weird, once they auto target you, you're dead. Cant dodge / run away, they just charge at you till you die. That has been my experience so far.

=pay to win issues=
- Cosmetics locked behind paywall... I think its unnaceptable for a 40 euro game to have all the "cool outfits" locked behind a 20 euro block.

Overall, the game is "nice", nice atmosphere, decent gunplay, fun with friends, but boring, bland, and easily forgettable. After 5 / 10 hours im already finding it a chore to play. I really wish they took a different approach to this. I crave a 40k shooter game so badly, and this just aint it chief. This aint it. </3
