Positive: - Shooting itself feels great. Weapons have impact, sound and look great, and enemies actually die when you shoot them, which is already a massive step up from the often mentioned nu-Dooms. Great fun shooting suff in this game. You can also bring up to 6 weapons with you, compared to the usual 4. - The amount of movement you can achieve here is pretty nuts. Double jumping, slides, wall running, you name it. And you're going to need it, because the enemies are fast and can be quite deadly. - World and level design feel decidedly 40K-ish. Negative: - Truly atrocious UI, obviously made for consoles. Menus within menus, constant pointless clicking to do the simplest thing, transition screens... BLEH. You will probably soon find yourself dreading having to do any inventory management. A UI this bad on a PC should be criminal. - The loot. Honestly feels pointlessly tacked on and the game would have been better off without it. All it does is make you spend more time in the hell that is the UI. Did you just find an upgrade? Time to spend 3 minutes tediously swapping the weapons and moving attachments to the new weapon so that you can deal 5% more damage. Weapons should have just been pre-set, would have made no difference but reduce the tedium. And would also prevent situations where you have OP weapons compared to enemies you are facing. You can also find armors, charms, weapon upgrades, but it's all extremely superficial. - Side missions. They get boring after an hour, but you have to grind them at least some amount, because you need the credits from them for upgrades. They have you run through campaign levels you already beat and the enemies in them spawn constantly, so it just devolves to speedrunning the objectives while ignoring enemies. Essentially, the core of the game is great, but there is just too much unnecessary bloat that detracts from the experience. Even through all that, I'm still giving this an 8/10. Better shooting than the new Dooms
Left the review for the game itself on the game page so will only go through the extra stuff here: Soundtrack & Artbook - good if you care about this stuff. A couple good tracks in the soundtrack but most of it is nothing stellar. Bonus items and units - AVOID like the plague. They are blatantly overpowered compared to the stuff you can get in the base game and can make the game much easier than it should be. It's basically free cheat codes. The extra set and weapons are far above anything else by the point you can wear them with absolutely overpowered bonuses. There is also a shield with no level requirement that gives +1 morale to all units (which is massive). As far as the units go, every single one of them is a superpowered version of a vanilla unit. King's Dogs have basically tier 2 unit stats on a tier 1 unit. They hit like a truck and you can easily be using them way until mid-early late game. Fire Eagles are buffed normal eagles, which also have an AoE damaging ability that enemies can't retaliate against. Firehand golems are the biggest joke as far as balance goes and are basically an "I win" unit. You also get some skins for a couple of units, but the game doesn't even let you choose if you want the vanilla ones or the DLC ones. Lastly, there is horse armor (seriously), which is just a useless cosmetic which you won't see much anyway, because trying to use the horse in this game is akin to torture.
