batty but loads of fun !
Warhammer 40,000 : Darktide is an fps Left For bushed - similar experience that takes what the developers at Fat Shark get a line with their Vermintide Warhammer Fantasy serial to the 40k universe . Darktide sport four unique playable course and hordes of enemies to fight , including various Elites , Specials , and Bosses .
Players pick one of the four classes and complete missions with varying objectives , and it ’s an overall fun experience that elevates the Left For idle formatting to new height . But despite being an overall promising experience , Darktide is plagued with legion performance and crashing issues that halter an otherwise enjoyable game .
Narrative
Narrative - wise , what is present in Warhammer 40,000 : Darktide is more than adequate for the setting and portrays the grim darkness of the 40k universe well . In scant , players begin as prisoners but will find out themselves as frontline soldier in a war to save a Hive world from the forces of Chaos . This serves as the basic premise of Warhammer 40k Darktide , and it works as it show how little human life weigh in the grand scheme of thing .
human are nothing more than shank fodder in a war that never ends , and starting players as loth prisoners turned conscript warriors is an excellent way to impersonate it . Overall , I was proud of with the level and had no significant complaints . I also do n’t conceive narrative and story are crucial in a Warhammer 40k crap-shooter . As long as the story is a decorous jumping point into combat , I ’m happy , and it does just that in Warhammer 40k Darktide .
Score : 5/5 ace

Combat
fight is the most prominent feature that players will enjoy in any Warhammer 40k hitman . fortunately what is on display in Warhammer 40k Darktide is extremely pleasurable and carry the biz . Weapons are loud and do the gameplay as tools in a violent orchestra . Combat is also bloody and visceral , and you could very easily get lost in a dance of death while swinging your arm around , making all subject of Chaos disappear . Weapons are also highly varied , and there are many options , such as Boltguns , Heavy Stubbers , Chainswords , Chainaxes , Force Staffs , and much more . I enjoyed unlock these many weapons and using them in Warhammer 40k Darktide . It ’s because they are fun to use , and the animations are lifelike .
The process for unlocking novel weapon system is also wide-eyed and aid give histrion a destination and a gumption of attainment . However , despite being vary , the weapons most social class can expend are shared with other classes , which makes them a petty less unique , in my feeling . I feel like more attention should have been paid to flesh out the class - undivided weapons , as most human socio-economic class only get around three or more unequalled arm . This is a little gripe on my part and does n’t really affect the combat as a whole , and scrap still remains just as great as in other titles such as Verimtide 1 - 2 .
Score : 4/5 star

Performance
operation was the unaccented part of Warhammer 40k Darktide for me and drags any enjoyment from a delicious plot to a standstill . During my prison term with the secret plan , I have experienced too many crashes at launching and slowdowns that forced me to play something else . When I finally loaded into Darktide , I was only forgather with more clank to the screen background that forbid me from playing even further . I unremarkably would forgive some problems on launch , but these carrying out issues come on the rump end of a Pre - Order Beta where the performance was far bully than the full release . I also have mellow - death hardware and system specification , so performance should n’t be a problem on my closing . Numerous bug that break features , such as Penances and the Toughness automobile mechanic , also exist and add further flame to a buggy fire that break nearly all enjoyment in Warhammer 40k Darktide .
Score : 2/5 star
Gameplay Loop
The Gameplay loop is satisfying in Darktide , as in previous Fat Shark titles . Players will load into Darktide and group up with other participant to complete several mission character that reward experience and money . you’re able to even habituate the money to buy new artillery and unlock more arm as you level up . Players can also realize crafting material and resource to enchant and craft raw arm . Overall it ’s an enjoyable fourth dimension in Warhammer 40k Darktide , and you may easy get lost in the plodding . delegacy - wise , there are plenty of options and environments to search , and it ’s fun battling the horde of enemies you will meet . However , a adequate gameplay loop is only great if most players can actually enjoy it , which is deplorably not the case . In short , Darktide ’s horrifying performance and game - crashing bugs make it nearly impossible to stay in the game long enough to enjoy what is present . I ’m sure most issue will get patched out as the days roll by , but it is only too unsatisfying to see another great deed of conveyance released in such a State Department .
Verdict - Enjoyable, but wait until it’s polished
At the prison term of writing , Darktide is an excellent game in a terrible office that makes recommending it to most player difficult because of the numerous performance issues affecting it . We still think Darktide is a great game , but the execution issues are too many to bet . However , if you are a Warhammer 40k Fan , you will find Darktide to be one of the best games set in the 40k existence if you may await past a rough launching .
