Rather surprised how well this game is reviewing apart from some minor bugs. It might be the first non-shit 40K game in a very long time.

I can't justify spending that much on a game no matter how good it is.

Are you reading different reviews than I've looked at? Seems to averaging as a 6/10 games most places.

Most of the YouTube reviews were pretty positive so far especially for a Ł30 game.

I'm sure I'll be suckered into trying this at some stage.

I'd still rather see a Space Marine sequel though.

6/10 is pretty good for a 40K game.

Awful on series X, stutter and terrible controls.

I had seen the console versions weren't great in terms of dead zone and stutter.

I got it on PS5 specifically because the Mrs is on Series X playing ME1. Quite looking forward to giving it a go in spite of middling reviews. A decent shooter in the 40k universe even if that's all it is will do me just fine.

I’ll buy this in 6 months when it’s been patched to fuck and is Ł10.

Saying that….this is got Game Pass (or Playstation Plus) written all over it, so might just wait till that happens.

I loved Necromunda (the tabletop game) so thats its had too recent console games gets my interest up. But both look fairly generic and not quite rush out and buys

This really needs a patch it is so janky on xbox one s. You can't even read the fonts on the loadout screen as res is so low. Still, when it works and doesn't crash, it is a ton of fun. Needs a performance patch as well.

I watched SkillUp's review, and despite how positive he was about much of it, it just looked like Doom Eternal from Wish.com
As said above, I'll wait for the inevitable Game Pass release.

Yeah, I'm enjoying this. Janky and glitchy for sure but moment to moment is fun, and it's got a ton of fan service for the tabletop game. Running around the Underhive is great fun.

Really enjoying this. I struggled at first and found it a bit frustrating to be honest because I was dying a lot, but I think I just needed to build up a bit of a decent armoury. Yeah it's a poor man's Doom but that's pretty much what I expected so I'm happy.

I succumbed to temptation and bought this - only one mission in and it's reasonable fun, but very rough around the edges.

Finished. Loved it in the end, I wish there was more. I considered trying for the platinum but I don't think I'm good enough to A every mission.

I watched the 3 minute review on the Escapist. That made it sound exceptionally mediocre. Competent technically but lacking any reason to play it.

The hub stuff is faff that the game doesn't need.

@TechnoHippy a very fair point.
