Warhammer: Vermintide 2,

For about 1.000h I played this game and by Sigmar has it been fun!
Finally being able to be inside the world I've loved since I was a small snotling, the Warhammer Fantasy world, has been a zoggin' amazing experience.
That on it's own already makes this game worth it but gosh there's so much more!
The melee combat is probably the best 1st person melee combat I've ever seen.
The environments are absolutely stunning, lush forests, stinky swamps, dark mines, fortresses and entire cities (covered in rat fesces), you name it, it has it.
And omg the banter between our 5 heroes is just fantastic...
These are just a couple of the aspects that make me love this game, there's many more, too many to list (I guess I'm just as lazy as an ogre)

The one negative though I can think of right now this game has is a huge lack of Greenskins!
Zog it! Just being a fan of the Warhammer Fantasy world alone already should be enough for you to absolutely have a blast at playing this game!

Before you all read my review I want you to know I'm basing this review purely on the multiplayer aspect of this game as that has been my main way of having fun on the amazing Mount&Blade franchise over the last 10 years.
Be it on Warband, With Fire and Sword, Napoleonic Wars dlc, or many of the mods we saw over the years, it's always been the multiplayer that kept me interested and gave me so many great moments.

Look I know what most people are thinking...
"But Walja, you have over 1.000 hours played on Mount&Blade 2: Bannerlord and still you don't recommend it !?"
Well yes I'm doing exactly that...
Look in a way yes, over 1.000 hours of playtime for the 40 euros I spent on this game is an insanely good return right? It certainly is.
Yet I'm so dissappointed.
I played this game because of it's huge potential, because I hoped things would only get better compared to it's Early Acces release but in my opinion it just didn't, things just kind of stayed the same so far.
The aspect that made especially Mount&Blade: Warband and it's Napoleonic Wars DLC so succesfull were the huge events with 100's of players we could be part of, the competitive tournaments we could play in, and maybe most of all the amazing amount of lovely communities that were formed because of these games.
Mount&Blade 2: Bannerlord had so much time to even improve on all this, yet it didn't improve these huge aspects of multiplayer, yet it didn't, all these aspects became smaller and got tomed down.
And that's exactly the reason why I just can't recommend this game right now.
Yes I'm saying right now, because my hope for this game to improve is not gone yet...

Anyways that's all I wanted to share pretty much.
Thanks alot for taking your time to read my review.

I want to add that it actually does pain me to give this game a thumbs down, mainly because Taleworlds as a company has given me such amazing games in the past, the best I personally ever played in fact...
So if the developers manage to turn the multiplayer aspect of Moun&Blade 2: Bannerlord around, then I'll gladly change my review.
