PROS:

- Pretty fun mostly single player game. Kind of plays like Hell Let Loose, Ravenfield or Battlefield 1942.

- Does have multiplayer but that seems kind of dead, can make custom games with friends though.

- The game has workshop support and a map editor, so you should never run out of maps to play.

- Lots of weapons, tanks, planes etc. You can even fire battleship cannons.

- The dev is still working on improving and updating the game regularly


NEUTRALS:

- Sound effects and graphics are pretty average, kind of looks like a 2015 game. So not good, not bad

- Performance is ok, can drop frames sometimes.


CONS:

- Minor bugs

- Some bad or janky animations

- AI is a bit stupid sometimes, but still better then the AI you'd find in similar games like Ravenfield. Hopefully there'll be some improvements in this area.



VERDICT:

Is it worth a buy? Certainly, it's a very cheap game and has a good amount of content. I suggest getting the bundle that has the Stalingrad DLC.

So, over time the game has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ significantly better, here's a compacted list of the improvements:

1. Some of the missing weapons and boss have been added.
2. New missions have been added.
3. New penance cosmetics have been added.
4. There was a half baked attempt at fixing the crafting system (however the annoying locks still remain) which did make it a bit more bearable.
5. Some balancing has been done, but it's still not perfect, but a bit better then release.
6. There's a massive class overhaul, this overhaul effectively adds 8 new classes to the game for 12 in total. Each Archetype gets 3 classes each and each of these classes can be mixed and matched to a degree, allowing a lot of build diversity. For example Ogryn has a Bodyguard tree, a Brawler Tree and a Gunlugger tree, allowing for different gameplay options in how you build your archetype.
7. Most of the crashes have been fixed, I very rarely crash anymore
8. Many bugs have been fixed, but not all of them, so there's still some room for improvement, especially when it comes to the buggy dog enemies.

These are just some of the changes over time, but overall I'd say the game is worth buying now due to the improvements the game has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over the course of nearly a year, especially with the release of the Class Overhaul.


Below is my original review of Darktide, this was made not long after it first released. A lot of the points are no longer valid, but I'm going to keep them there for historical reasons, so people know how the game was when it released. Above this paragraph is a short update on the games state and why it is now worth buying as of the 4th of October.

PROS:

- Fun Gameplay

- Nice Graphics

- Good Soundtrack

- Character dialogue is good


NEUTRALS:

- The 4 classes are fun to play, but this is a big downgrade over Vermintide 2 which had 15 classes on launch. There's also some balancing problems and bugs with certain class Feats.

- Mission objectives are mostly fun to do, but they copy and paste the same kinds of objectives all over the place. Such as the multiple versions of the mission where you have to destroy the hentai tentacles and then hit the big eyeball with your weapons. Another one is where you have to open ammo lockers and carry the ammo capsule or DNA capsule or Ice capsule or whatever rename that they gave the capsule to some other place to deposit it.


CONS:

- Bugs, bugs, bugs. This game is full of bugs.

- Crashes. The game crashes very often, it's hard to go one or two matches without it crashing.

- Performance is garbage and uses DLSS/FSR as a big crutch. Game is literally unplayable without DLSS/FSR crutches, you will drop into the 10 and 20 fps range without these to prop up the frame rate.

- The maps are nice to look at, but there's not a huge variety of them and quite a few of them look the same as one another. So they need to add new maps and fast.

- RNG is the only way to get gear, this is just flatout a bad system. Would much rather craft what I want, when I want, not having to wait for an RNG store to refresh or be lucky enough to get a random item from the emperors gift system.

- Missing features and weapons. The game isn't even feature complete, there's missing content. For example some weapons that were shown off in a trailer are not in the game, such as the powermaul for the Ogryn. There's also a missing boss enemy called the Chaos Spawn, doesn't exist in-game, even though all they had to do was copy and paste the chaos spawn from Vermintide 2.

- Predatory cosmetics shop. The cosmetic shop is very overpriced compared to its competitors, for example Deep Rock Galactic has way cheaper skin collections, they cost 11AUD and get you unique skins for 4 different classes and all their weapons, this can be bought directly from the steam store. Darktide on the other hand has fake currency called aquilas and this currency is distributed in a predatory way. The amounts you can purchase with real money don't add up with the singular character skins. For example a pack of 2100A costs 15AUD, but all the character skins cost 2400A. So in other words they want you to pay 30AUD for the more expensive 4500A pack to purchase the 2400A skin, which means you have currency left over that is worthless since you don't have enough to buy a second skin. But yeah don't purchase anything from the cosmetics shop, it's awful and a big rip-off.


Honestly, although I like the gameplay, I would wait to get this game. It's far too broken, the performance sucks and the predatory cash shop is a big turn-off in any game. So I'd personally just wait until it gets fixed or it goes on sale.

Rock and Stone - to the bone!

Short and simple review.

PROS:

- Is pretty good with mods.
- Fun gameplay
- Lots of map variety
- Decent AI

CONS:

- 32 bit engine leads to quite a few out-of-memory related crashes
- Poor FPS most times unless it's 1v1/2v2.
- Dated graphics

Good spaceship building game.

Pretty good Roguelite, lots of different playstyles and characters to choose from.

Very broken right now, couldn't play multiplayer with my friend which was half the reason of buying the game.

Should of launched as Early Access or been delayed until it was in a good state.

Pretty good engineering game, kind of like Besiege, but a bit better.

Free Weekend Review of CK3.

Much better then CK2, like the improved menu system alone is a huge improvement, I can actually find things easily instead of the menus looking like a convoluted mess. But yeah, readability is a good improvement.

Gameplay is also interesting, I made a custom dynasty and made King Gigachad, first name Giga, last name Chad. All of the sons he had were also named stuff like Uber, Ultra, Cosmic, Doctor etc. with Chad being their last names lol. There's also a pretty in depth emblem creator, which is nice to have, not a lot of games have those these days.

Lastly, although my time with playing the game has mostly been good, the monetisation is really what holds the game back and has led to me making my review negative. The game is not really worth the money full price, try to get it on a pretty big discount if you can. That goes for all of Paradoxes games, never pay full price for them. Paradox likes to nickle and dime customers by spamming DLC, so therefore we as customers will fight them back by never paying full price.

I think I forgot to review this game when it first came out in such a horrible state

Even now, the game is still buggy, AI is brain dead, lots of missing promised features etc. I won't get too detailed as you probably already know all this.

Anyway, I don't recommend this game.
