A fun but repetitive mess
There's a lot of promise in the gameplay but it's kind of an undisciplined mess that crams in too many mechanics without using them to create depth or variety or challenge. The worst offender is the haphazard mash-up of DOOM's glory kills with Bloodborne's Rally system. The Rally regen system is pointless when every enemy is spamming bright, fast projectiles from all directions so you're constantly taking damage, and glory kills are pointless because you don't have to get the enemies' health low before doing it (and you generally get more health from just shooting). So it doesn't add a tactical layer of HP management to combat, you just occasionally press the execute button when an enemy wanders in front of you. My experience of the game was just running around mindlessly spraying through an indistinct haze of particle effects, completing ignoring my health as it went up and down like a yo-yo. There's the same issue with movement that combines DOOM Eternal's double jump and air dash with Titanfall's wall run and a hook shot. But the levels aren't decided to make anything of them so they end up contributing little. They've done a good job of bringing a variety of 40k weapons to life, but they don't feel very different: they just spray different sized bullets at different rates. And the more interesting and more iconic weapons (like bolters and plasma guns) are generally worse than the fast-firing weapons because the health regen system encourages you to hose enemies. Having said all that, this is the only decent 40k FPS out there (so far) so it may be worth checking out. But only play for as long as you're having fun. The levels, the combat encounters, the mechanics, the story - none of it gets more interesting later on.
