I wish there was a medium between Recommend and don't Recommend.

It's pretty much Vermintide 2 with a new coat of paint and by the Emperor the cracks are showing.

The Gameplay is pretty much the same from VT2 but with more gunplay.

The way you choose maps is mind-bogglingly stupid, having to wait for existing missions to expire just for them to show up again at the exact same difficulty is asinine, let me pick the mission i want at the difficulty i want.

The penances (aka challenges) are either so easy you complete them without thinking about it. to downright needing to sabotage your own team to finish them. And with the 1.4 update a few of the challenges are just straight up broken due to massive oversights.

Certain Special enemies having zero audio cues to make you aware of their presence is such a nonsensical change from VT2's specials whom all had their own unique audio cue

The cash shop is downright insulting because (1) it was added just after the game released (which was arguably the worst state the game was in at the time) and (2) right now, Xbox players getting 40-80$ worth of aquilas if they buy the base/Imperials editions of the game. while PC/Steam users who buy the imperial edition get barely enough to buy one cosmetic bundle.

The game itself is fine, just a pretty big downgrade compared to Vermintide 2, which is not saying much.
