Edit: Fatshark maybe slow but my god they cook


TLDR: Game is fun as ♥♥♥♥ and honestly ignore all the naysayers and people who say Fatshark is lazy etc. Its a skill issue on the players part

Fatshark constantly pushes to improve the game, albeit slow at times, and the class rework really shows. Despite this game coming out, they are still supporting and updating Vermintide2 their previous hack and slash.

Praises to Fatshark aside, Darktide is an amazing hack&slash shoot em up style game that forces you to adapt and mix both elements if you live. It feels satisfying as ♥♥♥♥ to either cleave through enemies with a power sword or smash them aside as an Ogryn. The game encourages you to stick with your team and work together if you want to live (ESPECIALLY at higher difficulties) as each class is better at dealing with different kinds of threats. While you can make every class able to deal with almost any and every threat in one build it just makes the game exhausting and an actual fight for survival. Which could be a good thing if you like it.

Some criticisms that I do have of the game however include its, at times, unstable servers that sometimes just disconnect you, The game can also be quite on both the CPU and GPU so if your PC ain't good enough you will drop A LOT of frames on the higher difficulties when more enemies spawn which unfortunately is just the nature of this kind of game where hundreds and thousands of enemies spawn.

And lets not forget, the soundtrack is phenomenal.
