Excellent

Given the scrutiny automatically garnered from possessing the stigma of 'A 40K game' and it's subsequent expectations, this delivers well. Voice acting, game-play, story; all elements are acceptable justifications to run around and shoot things with a Warhammer theme. While this is not a technical landmark, nor anything particularly innovative, it is a very good game in and of itself. I have encountered no bugs, nor performance problems beyond what I would expect of my hardware. If I were pressed to make a comparison, I would say it is what you would get if you blended 40k with Ghostrunner. Lots of wallrunning, climbing, jumping and gunning. Generally, I'd say if you come to it without expectations, you'll be pleasently surprised with how solid of a game this is. It checks all the boxes a modern FPS is required to check, right down to the melee-kill-animations and slide-dodging. Certainly, it's worth the sale price, but likely not the full price. So, if it's on sale and you meet the minimum specs you are likely in for a fun, shooty time.

( And yes my second business pc works with win 10, but this will never touch my games ^^, so leave me alone with your "ouw-a- stone-age-win7-user"- gibberish) Streum On Studio / Focus Home Interactive (..I dont bloody care what everyones thinkin...)

DOOM meets Titanfall meets Unreal

If you happen to like DOOM / Titanfall / Unreal you are most likely going to enjoy this game as well. There are a couple of bugs that appear here or there and the game suffers from some performance issues but outside of that, I found the core combat to be very fun. Grapple + Wallruning + Double jumps make for some hectic but fun combat where you are constantly forced to be on the move while dodging the incoming fire , the game even encourages you to do that by giving you various damage reduction stats if you do . Since you gain health after being shot once again the game forces you to stay aggressive since staying idle is not gonna help you recharge your health and shields but instead various pickups and killing enemies is what gives you back health. Weapons feel good and punchy , sounds are good for the most part even tho I feel like heavy bolter should have a more punchy sound overall. Story-wise I wasn't impressed but I don't feel that's what the game is focusing on anyway so I wouldn't judge it by that . Environments ( much like in Deathwing ) is something Streumon studios has mastered and they are incredibly good-looking so both Warhammer and non warhammer fans are going to enjoy in various environments while they fight their way through the underhive. If I didn't experience the performance issues and some bugs along the way the score would have been higher and I hope developers patch it in the upcoming months.

Fun and buggy Warhammer 40k shooter

If you are a Warhammer 40k fan, you will probably love this game. Enviornments are great with tons of little details and I spent a lot of time in each area just looking around and taking in the atmosphere. As a shooter it is also really nice and quite similar to DOOM Eternal, but Necromunda has a bolter and DOOM doesn't. No point in going into details, if you want fun 40k shooter, then this is it. Now the bad part. This game has a lot of bugs. It crashes quite often, some quests can't be completed because enemies don't spawn or show up frozen without collision. Weapon skins don't work most of the time. Inventory management is bizzare. However, most of the time everything is fine and I would rather have this game with bugs than not have it at all.

Chaotic, unplayable and unfair mess

Clearly the developers never ever played a videogame, especially not this chaotic mess here. The game itself is solid. Graphics, sounds, mechanics, aesthetics. But it's way too hard - endlessly spawning enemies, no powerful weapons, confusing interface. And there is no sprint button. The character walks fast and has this sliding move, but in a game with humongous areas with dozens enemies spawning (like in Generatorum level) it's just absolutely no fun. One is getting his bottom kicked, even on Easy difficulty - you feel like playing against bouncing Godlike-tier bots like in Unreal Tournament. This game could be fun, but the developers tried to make it NOT fun. Wasted potential, wasted time, wasted money.
