Props to the gameplay designers for trying their hardest to hold this game up, but everything else just falls flat.

Fatshark learned nothing from their experience with Vermintide 2 and it shows here A LOT. Missing content, poor optimization, lack of transparency etc.

RNG system is wack. Game relies more on RNG than Vermintide 2 ever did. Vermnitide had the right amount of RNG to keep things fresh for a bit while you learned the game. Here the shop itself is RNG!

Characters have zero charm and I have no reason to like them.

Mission structure is bad and the maps all feel one in the same. Nothing feels different about the environments and there's no structure to follow, just random missions to fight through.

Hub world thing is just dumb. There's no social aspect to it, just a bunch of people running around. Phantasy Star Universe and WoW made much better social hubs from over a decade ago. Total waste when they could've made something like Taal's Horn Keep.

Conditions are there to spice up normal missions, but are just very bland mutations compared to what Fatshark did with the Chaos Wastes.

Overall, I'd say wait another year before dropping 30 bucks on this. Even the Vermintide games had more content upon release. AAA games being released unfinished is a pattern that doesn't seem to be dying anytime soon.
