Positives:
- fun coop,
- very well optimised,
- lot of customisation (visual and equip),
- mtx currency earnable ingame,
- starship troopers flair,
- no FOMO.

Negatives:
- kernel level anti cheat.

Neutral:
- not a lot content yet, but more is expected.

Great boardgame port. I am only missing the expansions, but I am sure they will release them in the future. :)

Fun turn based coop roguelite.

Positives:
- fun quest/progression systems,
- addictive gameplay,
- 5 different classes with a lot of build options and different playstyles,
- lot of content,
- nice artstyle,
- character customization,

Negatives:
- telegraphing of attack could be more clear,
- UI is sometimes busy.

Neutral:
- live service game,
- free and paid battlepass,
- cosmetic shop, but you can earn mtx money by playing,
- you have to be online,
- I had two gamebreaking bugs in 22 hours of gameplay (both ended the runs).

Fun CoD like fps in space. Lot of customization, nice performance, quick matches.

Doom Mario Maker. Build and raid player bases. From time to time you find base that spams a lot of stuff and its not really fun, but most of them are not like that. I like the building mode a lot.

The good old Dead Space in new engine with few QoL upgrades from Dead Space 2 and some new stuff (side quests/stories, security levels). Definetely worth playing.

Edit 4.10.2023:

I would recommend playing this game now.

What was fixed/added:
- crafting,
- private games,
- shared currency and materials for all characters,
- each character has proper skill tree now,
- performance is better (but could be much better),
- more rewards for finishing missions (it is still better to check shops every hour)
- more mission options (two mission boards, more difficulties),
- more free cosmetics,
- more achievements.

Negatives:
- No prestige/paragon system.
- Cash shop, timed exclusives and you cant earn premium currency ingame.
- Some of the achievements are private games only. Fatshark expects you to play with premade groups.
- There is basically no story, only intro cinematic has some weight, rest is just there to be there.
- Enemies sometimes spawn right behind you or in front of you out of thin air.

Original review:

I wish I could rate the game "mixed". I enjoy the game, I Will probably play it more, but there are things that I dont love at all.

Positives

- Gameplay is great. I enjoy the clunky W40K gunplay and Vermintide 2 melee.
- Some of the levels are amazing, atmosphere, fan service, level design.
- Jesper Kyd is a King, the soundtrack is better than ever.
- Great character creation tools with some backstory options.
- Lot of weapons to choose from.
- Some lore from banter is fun.

Negatives

- Missing key features like crafting, solo play, private games, scoreboard and there are only four classes (each class has only one subclass). No prestige/paragon system.
- Cash shop with predatory pricing, timed exclusives and you cant earn premium currency ingame.
- Performance and stability of the game is atrocious. 5900x, RTX 3080, 32GB RAM, M.2 SSD, 1440p and I am forced to run the game with DLSS on performance, Medium settings. And I still dip under 60fps. Backend errors (unable to login, disconnects).
- Ingame settings wont remember some things, so you have to change them everytime sou start the game (like turning off subtitles).
- Reward system is not transparent, you dont know for what are you rewarded for or why you did not get any rewards. You are forced to check ingame shop, that refreshes every hour and then hope that it will have the thing you want to buy.
- Weekly assigments are grindy and since missions are on rotation, you either have to pay for reroll of the assigment (ingame currency) or wait until the mission board has the missions you want or need to play. There are times when the server bugs out and the objectives you do dont count towards your assigment, so you have to do it again and hope it wont happen again.
- Mission rotation. You cant choose mission, difficulty, conditions, secondary objective. You are forced to play the missions that are currently on mission board or wait.
- Decent cosmetics are unlocked by doing achievements. Lazy reskins are buyable for ingame currency. Rest is in the premium store.
- Some of the achievements are not suited for coop play. Fatshark expects you to play with premade groups.
- No level requirements for difficulties.
- Currencies, materials and items are character bound. You have to grind every character separately.
- There is basically no story, only intro cinematic has some weight, rest is just there to be there.
- Enemies sometimes spawn right behind you or in front of you out of thin air.

I Will change the review if the game changes. But right now I can recommend this game only to W40K starved fans.

Great atmosphere, challenging coop.

Great DLC, tunnels are fun, diverse and rewarding. Nice way to spice up original maps. New characters and cards are useful and bring new strategies for your runs. New character skins are superb!

Not the L4D I was looking for, but it card system is great and devs are active. December update was great, fixed lot of things and balance issues.
