A truly fun foundation of a game, spoilt by a greedy, soulless monetization model and clear lack of respect for their fans and customers. The priority of implementation has been given to a cosmetic microtransaction store with a premium currency you have to buy in specifically sized bundles, that you spend on time-locked cosmetics to push you into FOMO purchases. This was prioritised over a fully-fledged and functional weapon crafting system

This coincides with sub-par performance even on high-end PCs, as well as frequent crashes.

And these issues persist in spite of both a series of closed beta tests and a "pre-order beta", which seems more and more to have been a "soft launch" of sorts. Though this was seemingly squandered and criticism passed off with "it'll be added at launch". The only thing added at launch was the MTX store.

So much could have been taken from the lessons of Vermintide 2, but for now I can only recommend picking this game up in 6-18 months, as I hope that by then FatShark will have realised their errors and correct course.
