After 200 hours, here's everything I like/dislike as of 6.0:

Like:
-Easy to learn
-Fun and diverse classes with unique playstyles
-Solid campaign with support characters that listen to the protagonist(!?)
-Great differences between enemy factions, providing unique experiences when fighting both
-Great character and weapon perk system
-Fun missions each with a unique objective (I personally love Reliquary)
-Each of the boss fights are really fun with unique gimmicks that you can play off of

Dislike:
-Combat is too clunky and to be truly skill based, but requires too much effort and quick reactions to be a true power fantasy
-Nobody in the entire game understands that GRENADES DEAL FRIENDLY FIRE DAMAGE and STUN TEAMMATES
-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spore mines, I hate spore mines
-Enemies can and will spawn in front of you
-Half (and only half) of combat can be done simply by spamming the parry button, then pressing the gun button when a red marker appears on an enemy
-On higher difficulties you can and will drop like a fly because you got stun-locked after a single mis-input, despite being one of the emperors angels
-God I hate spore mines, you'll walk around a corner and there will be 10 of the little s***s, and because there's enemies you start shooting, right? WRONG. You hit a spore mine, detonating them all instantly, and shredding your own health bar because how dare you be within 10 feet of them.
-It's a Warhammer 40K story, which means you already know Tzeentch is the twist villain.
-Enemy attack speeds are inconsistent, meaning very quick attacks can occur without warning
-Did I mention how much I hate spore mines? How about a special that spawns them and can bull through your party, knocking everyone over while you try to damage it and then oh boy here come the spore mines it s*** out while it dashes away at 120 Km/h
-Why TF does Tactical have like nine primaries and one pistol choice? And why is Assault the only one with the Heavy Bolt Pistol? Share the guns, guys.

Overall, it's in a really good state right now, and I can't wait for the next update. Honestly, my biggest gripe is how unpolished the game feels after certain things get in the way of the fun over and over, leading to a bit of worry about the third one that they've announced already. Probably should've kept that under wraps, especially given that we're only 6 months after this game's release.

Once you have this installed, you cannot back out of any mods.
Yes, I have tried deleting the files in the game folder.

Why is this a problem? First, consent is key. Second, some mods kind of suck (Looking and your, Saints and Seducers. Oh, my level 8 barbarian is certainly ready for this fireball spamming sewer wizard).

But you know the worst offender?

The Arcane Archer Pack.

Why does it suck?
1: NPC's can come equipped with these arrows
2: Fire increases damage taken, lighting saps mana.
3: If that wasn't BS enough, fire/lighting arrows also
Ignore armor.

Someone please tell me this was patched, I miss this game.

Early Access Review
1:
They recently instituted Twitch drops. Let me, a paying customer have content in the game without having to watch someone play/leave a resource hungry tab open for 3 hours to get a full set of cosmetics.

2:
It's actually really fun, with friends. As the party tank, neither of the other two people I play with can engage in combat while I'm offline due to poor health pools and damage. The rouge has voiced their distaste.

3:
It's early access, so it's gonna be a little mid until they figure out where the game finds it's identity. If you want to join all the voices guiding that, by all means. If not, wishlist and wait.

Basically:
It's a pretty decent game right now, looks like some good changes are coming in the future, though you might have to wait a bit. Currently not better with friends, but playable with friends. And who decided spells function like eggs/snowballs in Minecraft? One spell, one cast but they stack. Really?

Every reason I can think of to not play this game (Mostly nitpicks, but still):


1: The first 20 hours of gameplay are a "tutorial", meaning everything is repeated to you constantly and they treat you like a child until you can access 6-star missions. This also makes the game feel like a bunch of buildup to nothing instead of a story. Because you're being handheld and over-trained the whole game it feels like it will open up eventually, then it ends.

2: T H E H A N D L E R. This dumbass has enough neurons firing to be mistaken for a whale's heartbeat. Additionally, she feels so... plastic. Just basic, one-trick and annoying, And then you have YOUR character trying to save her the entire time, against your consent. Remind me, who's the 'handler' again?

3: Every time a hunt ends, you have 60 seconds to gather loot in the area before you're taken back to the Hub. There is no vote to skip. You will sit on your pretty ass for 60 seconds until you can go home.

4: Long, unskippable cutscenes. 'nuff said.

5: This is a fighting game with material grinding. Every weapon is a different fighting style that will take time and practice to learn, not to mention all of the upgrades that can give affinity (Crit chance), elemental damage, durability levels, etc. Then you have to figure out what creatures you're supposed to hunt in order to get the materials to do so. Figuring out what weapon to use where, when and how is an entire half of your start.

6: You start with the two armor types based on resisting different elements, and "Guardian" armor. The Guard armor is designed for people who have the DLC to speedrun to it. This is alongside the easy to make "Defender" weapons which are a unique and linear upgrade path for every weapon. They have stupid damage and a bonus element that few monsters resist. These weapons and armor are basically an easy mode that you can access from the start. Honestly, the weird part is that they're base game and not included in the DLC.

7: You can pay upwards of 3.99 USD for BS cosmetics that you can't see. Typical stuff.

Short version: Feels over-inflated, no QoL features, equal parts over-complicated and hand hold-y, and the story is ass. I wish I didn't.

Honestly a very cute and great game. One feature that I like is that based on the decisions you make early one, some later ones might not work out.

What a horrible dlc model. At least Total War: Warhammer doesn't show the units you don't have in the tech tree. Then when you try and buy them, you have to buy 8 different packs in order to fill the roster of one faction, because they're split buy role instead of race. They even give you units for factions you don't own, hooray!
Check the DLC section right now and you'll see ♥♥♥♥ like "Assault pack", which includes some fun NEW units right? Nope! Your enemies are using them the whole time, and you can see them on the tech tree, but not access them yourself.
"These tickets were free and I still feel ripped off!"

Buy one of the versions from the previous games, they're cheaper. Otherwise, in a game with actual R*** DEMONS and slavery, you have to pay extra for blood in order to maintain a good ESRB rating.

Not to be a broken record, but it's unfinished. Like others are saying, the final 2 chapters are completely missing dialogue leaving you confused and annoyed. That, and the dialogue for the chapter 3 boss that was included in the old beta is missing! We've got a Darktide on our hands, so just wait it out for a few updates and it'll be great, surely.

Welp, the only problems left are the region locks and anti-cheat. Other than that, solid game.
