For me it plays as a mix of the aforementioned titles (which is not a bad thing at all) and is as visually impressive and true to the lore as Deathwing was. It has a Payday feeling progression system with points to earn to use on stats and abilities, and gameplay very much as fast paced and shooter focused as DOOM. It has everything a game needs to be enjoyable long-term (customization, procedural missions, variety of weapons et cetera) I'm a long time hardcore 40K fan and I love it to bits, the only criticism I could offer would be that the voice acting isn't AAA, but it's not awful either. Don't trust the filthy casuals, it's a good buy, get it.
