OK Doom 2016 knockoff in WH40K universe

The game is thematic and filled with good looking environments. It feels like it was built around the Doom 2016 model but it doesn't quite deliver. You have close combat KO ability, a grappling hook, and high mobility. You're squishy and have to kill baddies to recover health. That said, it's a room by room combat game where you kill a lot of gang members. Think fighting 30-50 gangers per mission, even if most Necromunda gangs cap out at 12. The enemies could do with being more interesting to look at as most are clad in dark colors.

Fun but FAST

I'm sure the game was great when it launched, but with my high end laptop in 2025 the game and the mouse moves FAST as heck. Adjusting the OS level mouse sensitivity hasn't made a difference either. Still a fun game though

First the option about Screen resolution is not working this s* show is so unoptimized is unbelivable. Don't buy it.

OK game, bad developer

Unfortunately developer of this game treats GOG customers as somebody not worth bothering which is shown by delaying patches compared to Steam, not releasing DLCs and soundtrack here. So if after completing the game you would like to purchase soundtrack you do not have such option and you would have to buy the game on some other platform. Will they release DLCs here on GOG? Well at least one DLC that is available on Steam is not available here on GOG so this is probably your answer. The game by itself is having nice level design from both artistic point of view as well as integrating the mechanics of the game, except wall running. Wall running here is present and you can ran through parts of the levels yet it is not integrated into the combat as well as in Titanfall 2. Gameplay is quite fun and works quite well except the boss battles and side missions. Boss battles are boring since bosses are just bullet sponges without any cool AI and special abilities that you need to feed with whatever ammo you have left from the rest of the level. Fortunately there are only few of bosses. Sidemissions (contracts) are just some sort of "destroy vents" or "kill juggernauts" type of the mission that happens on the same map you already finished during the main campaign. And to make things worse is that on this side missions enemies indefinitely spawn either right behind you or right in your face. I simply ignored all of those after two or three since they are just not fun (unlike the main campaign). Story in this game is present but for the most time it is a chat between missions that is completely unnecessary and when you notice a pattern it becomes quite annoying: you arrive at the hub between missions, you chat with Jerico, chat with Jade, chat with Wildsnake Priestess. Overall the game is good, however If I had known the way developer treats GOG before purchase I would give it a pass on any platform since even on Steam such things are happening (Nier Automata).
