First of all, I used to play vermintide 2 (VT2), another fatshark game that plays similar to this, so my views are heavily influenced by it.

Fun game if you're coming from vermintide 2. I do have to admit that even though I've put 100hs on this I still can't get used to the addition of guns. Toughness seems to be a mechanic that was made just to make it less annoying when dealing with enemy fire and I still don't think it was implemented correctly. Guns also make speedrunning a pain in the ass in open maps. IMO it's the Achilles heel of this game.
Aside form that the gameplay is quite nice, I love the skill tree and I think it`s miles better than VT2. Mixing and matching weapons is cool and adds another layer to builds but it can have the opposite effect if you're ocd.

When it comes to world building this game is a failure IMO. I don't like the cast, I think the banter between characters suck compared to VT2. Since you build your character and chose a VA you don`t really care about the characters. The maps look the same, there`s little variety in them. The color palette also sucks, if you squint your eyes you'll see what every map looks like, save for some odd areas, like the forge.
