A very fun Left 4 Dead style game set in the Warhammer universe using melee, and ranged combat. The combat is visceral and rewarding where the melee is particularly satisfying with the uniqe hit/blood system adding to feeling of carving up the vermintide. There has been considerable post launch support in terms of patches, free content and the DLC has been fair in terms of content to price ratio (I am not commenting on the skin DLC as I have not bought them and don’t care about cosmetics although if you like to play dress up they are available and you get what you pay for as in it is not a game as in no damn loot boxes). They include new stories, maps, weapons, and contracts in each one which is much better than most of the crap DLC for games these days that do not add much; they are each well crafted mini expansions.

If you like a solid 4 player co-op in the style of Left 4 Dead and want that in the Warhammer universe this is most assuredly a solid pick. Worth it at full price and doubly so for the price offered on the many sales and bundles it has been on/in. I have had a lot of fun with this game with my own friends and also with meeting people online as the community is very friendly which is another huge plus. Even if you have no idea what is going on the veterans are very kind and willing to help you with your journey unlike many games where the communities are completely toxic.

The engine is well optimised, runs well, and looks good on almost any setup. It had some problems at launch but there have been so many patches since then that the game is in a superb state mechanically. I have had a lot of fun with this games and barring the final DLC I am looking forward to the second instalment of the game as the first was and still is a super fun game to play.

My only complaint is that if you decide to play on your own (though there is usually enough people online to find a full group) the bots can be utterly stupid even after many AI updates which can get quite infuriating at times. They have come a long way since the initial release and are much better to have at your side than before, but still suffer from some idiotic AI at times. It is good that game did well and you really don't need to play with bots if you either find a game or just open your lobby and wait in the tavern for it to fill up.

Best played with friends but still fun alone and a solid time with others in the community. The base game goes on deep sale all the time and all the DLC is worth it while they all go on sale a lot as well. I recommend picking the base on sale as it just goes on so often and grabbing the DLC on or off sale as they are pretty darn good and worth their price although you could wait and get them all fairly discounted too.

They have also expanded the game with extra quests through the contract system as a free content update which was very nice of them and only the host needs the DLC which means that even if you just bought the base game you can join someone with the DLC and play it all. Very good developers who actively develop for the consumer and not completely for the shareholders as is becoming the norm these days. No loot boxes and no micro-transactions plus being a very competent and fun game with a great community means that this is one you shouldn't pass up if you haven't already picked it up.
