“I came for a simple co-op rat-slaying game and somehow ended up with 300 hours, emotional attachment to a dwarf yelling at me, and a deep hatred for anything that moves in a horde. At its core, this is basically “Left 4…”

“The game is extremely repetitive and the combat is braindead basic. I do not understand the appeal of this game at all.”
“I played this game a while ago. At that point in my existence I was slightly less picky. It's an ok/good hack and slash, keeps you on the edge. PRETTY SLOW gameplay wise, like most of Warhammer stuff, which would be a…”

“Fun fact: The developers are a subsidiary of Tencent so naturally the game itself is shockful with DLCs and microtransactions that easily can add up to over hundreds of dollars. This is the most expensive game I own and…”
“TL;DR Great coop game with fun combat! The Bad: - Somewhat incompetent devs - They never learn from mistakes. Every one of their games get released buggy. They make changes that sometimes are good, sometimes not. Some…”

“I don't know how the hell I've put over 1,000 hours into this game. But I'm a masochistic bastard who plays on max difficulty with Twitch mode at 200%. Why did this happen? Because this game is a work of art. Unlike Darktide, this one has a soul. Let's be honest: Darktide's hit…”
