I would like to like it
The campaign with some side missions took only about 11 hours. The game ran at 135fps on Epic settings, with a GTX 1660, but the last or second last level was so unstable it made my PC run out of video memory even on medium graphics. I'd like to like this game, but it is not deep in Warhammer lore and the gameplay loop is really simple.

Less than the sum of its parts
Hired Gun's developers have obviously played a lot of very good shooters. The game is filled with design influences from recent entries like Doom Eternal, to older titles like Crysis. Their problem seems to be that the team knew when they saw a mechanic or feature that worked well, but don't seem to understand why any of those things worked. So the final design doesn't feel coherent. Instead it's a 'if we put enough things that are cool in the same place, the result *must* be cool too.' And it isn't. The final straw for me was being in a dark cave, surrounded by a respawning horde of big, fast melee enemies that were *also* black, firing the gun the game had just given me that filled the screen with bloom and particle effects, and spamming the melee button to regen health in between shots. And when I finished with that? Going into a platformer puzzle level in a game that uses a lives system instead of saves. The game is reasonably stable, and looks very pretty when it isn't trying to blind you with sfx, but there are so many options that do the actual gameplay better that there isn't any reason to spend time with this if you aren't desperate for the setting.

I love this great looking throwback
Yes, many mechanics in this game are as simple as they would have been in an earlier era of FPS. I'm fine with this as an older gamer and really find those mechanics refreshing within such a great looking universe. I'm not getting the hate on this one. The graphics options are very thorough and DLSS really helps fine tuning things. I thought this game was a huge step up from Deathwing and plays a bit like a combination of the recent Doom games and Metroid Prime of all things. I recommend this game to fans of the Turok franchise who don't need everything to be super innovative gameplaywise. This is one of the very few "next gen" looking games to me on my rig. Thanks devs. Sorry for goofballs.

A great AA shooter
Very good AA shooter. Solid mechanics, great movement. Would have liked more enemy variety, and better mission design. A great foundation for a sequel...

Basically a good game
The good: Fun to zip around with the various movement mechanics (grappling hook, double jumping, dodge, wall running) without forcing the game into becoming an obnoxious platformer (looking at you DOOM Eternal). Customization of weapons and cybernetics. You have a dog. You can pet the dog. The OK: Graphics are fine. The voice acting is serviceable. Finished the game in about 8 hours and probably won't start it again. Gunplay is decent. You can fast-forward past cutscenes and dialogue. The bad: I couldn't bring myself to care about the story or characters. The random missions were repetitive and boring (and easily exploited for a lot of in-game money). Animations are sometimes janky. Sometimes it feels like they just spawned more enemies instead of doing something interesting. Many customization options feel a bit half-baked and not really impactful (elemental resistances and damage bonuses and loot drop rate bonus all feel unnecessary for a game this short, unclear what armor does etc) In short, if you are itching for a Doom-like fast paced shooter and you have 8 hours to kill it's worth picking up at a discount.
