Excellent cooperative game play loop in the 40k universe that will have you addicted. Music and sound design is killer. Sadly, this isn't enough to recommend the game as of January 1, 2023, a month after release.

Problems:

> Class variety is limited to 4, with 1 class being almost useless at later difficulties and 2 being nearly identical (Ogryn is the only "unique" class IMO)
> Weapon balance is very poor resulting in "meta" chasing
> No weapon customization at all (want a flashlight on your lasgun? TOO BAD)
> End-game and upgrades is relegated to checking an hourly rotating in-game shop (which is random and filled with garbage items)
> Crafting system isn't complete and provides very little in the way of usefulness
> Lacks fulfilling rewards for mission completion and caps off rewards per-week for doing missions, but you don't always get a reward if you haven't hit the cap (absolutely bonkers)
> Free customization options for your characters are trash compared to cosmetics, with options being slight recolors of the same boring threads
> Optimization for modern machines is piss-poor
> Predatory cash shop model with no way for players to earn "premium currency" in-game
> Lack of a road-map, crucial to live service games
> Monster closest spawns for all enemy types meaning things appear beside or behind you all the time
> Rubber-banding enemies, which will spawn one or two basic swarm enemies beside you for no apparent reason
> Poor network optimization resulting in CTD and disconnects
> Company actively moves goal-posts or removes them completely for features
> Bots are beyond basic AI, meaning you have to play with randoms if you aren't doing private matches
> Company communication is abysmal, with toxic behavior, attacks on paying customers, and pathetic attempts at comedy
> Story is currently non-existent outside a few cut scenes and might as well not be included at all
> Etc. etc. etc.

Save yourself money and wait for this game to:
A) Go on sale
B) Finish adding the promised features (which have been deleted from posts by the way)
C) Fix the overwhelming amount of bugs, balance issues, and performance
