@@MikoOhneHose Not sure, a lot of negative reviews has just an hour or so played. Might have been due to bugs.

[@rubeniscool]

@@MikoOhneHose It's seriously buggy on console. Screen jitter and no aiming is one that you notice within a few seconds. Had to put it down after the first mission it was unbearable. Others have reported frequent crashing. Can't confirm as I only played about 45 mins.

ty hope they also change the inventory to its own button like wut?

[@JoseRodriguez-nu3cu]

Is this game multiplayer/ co-op?

[@diegofigueredo4745]

But, is it patchable? Or 40 is still high price for it?

[@PeterNolen]

PS5 version has issue that makes aim assist always turn off, unless it's connected to difficulty level? And inverting camera y inverts the item wheel. No adaptive trigger, no haptics and the fps is dropping in the first level. Good times. I hope they fix this, it seems neat. All the features seem really cool but it's just a mess on ps5. Should have bought it on pc, oof.

Great review as always 👏

[@Thunderella]

[@SwiftViper]

Based on dev feedback it seems like they know there are issues and they have plans to fix them. For $30 this game looks better than a lot of $60 games. I’m gonna test it out

[@catalyst8]

And what's your conclusion? For me it's genuinely unplayable, even to the point that it refuses to open on my primary monitor.

[@SwiftViper]

@@catalyst8 I’m on PS5, I haven’t really had that many issues besides animations looking a little weird snd 1 or 2 doors not opening. I’m enjoying my time with it. Hopefully they release a patch soon so everything runs smooth for PC players

Hey Karak, great review as always. How come no game sounds on this one (except the little bit at the end)? I take gun sounds pretty seriously and am amazed how lackluster they are in so many games. Glad to hear that they got that right. Why do you think so many guns (from anthem to outriders) sound like popguns?

[@justrok79]

The continuation of game development is mostly enjoyable, because of your reviews, and that is really all I need.

They also made Space Hulk Deathwing. From lumbering power armor clad Space Marines to something more like an agile wall running Titanfall pilot, the devs really upped their game and credit must be given.

If you love star wars, and especially star wars lore, you'll love everything 40K and it's universe has to offer! Many dedicated channels on KZbin - like Leutin09, Baldermort, Wolf Lord Rho, and others - are all about the years and years of lore that have been compiled. It really is amazing

[@stevenellis4377]

Excellent analysis. Cant wait for my ps5 to arrive. Got 6 titles queued up xD

[@donamameng]

games like this make me think about a weird “wait til first patch” (if it works) category

[@rossstevenson2757]

I was literally gonna say the same thing haha. The way gaming is now we for sure need a "wait til the game is actually finished" category

[@butterfingersman]

the thing is that it might get people's hopes up. It's been months, and while there have been many patches, there have actually been patches that break things too, like voices in cutscenes (...supposedly fixed by yet another patch). also, they "changed the pacing" in the last month or so too, which sounds beside the point when there are so many reported crashes and softlocks. people still grappling hook out of the map and softlock currently. that being said, they did adjust the takedown animations, added new ones, and fixed the sound bug karak mentioned. so, its just a typical modern game release that may or may not ever be fully polished and fixed, but at least they're arguably getting somewhere.

[@R04D3X]

I love when games come out like this because it seems like it means we have another development studio to see grow. can't wait to see what they make and how they improve in the future

[@markharrison2315]

I wonder if "wait for a patch" should be maybe added to the rating system? Seems like it would have been a buy but for the tech issues.... Great review.

[@gary4332]

That's actually a really good idea. Wait for sale seems too harsh. A wait for a patch rating would be the perfect description for a game that has known bugs, but is currently being fixed, and once fixed will be worth the price. I think that's a good suggestion.

[@ACGreviews]

no patch is a promise sadly.

[@dodsy2781]

Yea I will 100% buy this when it's on sale or after a few patches. I could see this game being $20 bucks before you know it. Looks awesome though!

This game is going to do exactly what Spacehulk Deathwing accomplished; there will be explosive fan service around every corner, and it will take several months of developer-patches to land squarely on the result they were truly aiming for. When it comes to Warhammer 40K, nobody gets it right the first time...

[@cykeok3525]

If I had to come up with a hypothesis, I think securing the license from GW comes with a deadline for your product, in the standard licensing agreement. Thus, we end up with two types of products: - Developers that were always intending on producing shovelware in the first place - OR fundamentally decent products like Space Hulk Deathwing or Necromunda that end up having to shave off a few months of polish that they needed to make the deadline. In this case, hopefully they get enough sales to fund the post-launch patching This seems to be the case ever since the glory days of WH40k video games ended, when THQ went under.
