It is hard to translate just how satisfying it feels to tear through a horde of heathens in Darktide as its thunderous soundtrack plays to words. The best way to do so seems to be simply saying that it is spot-on enough to surely please any fan of Warhammer or horde shooters. Darktide is a Primarch amongst Warhammer games, and it serves the corpse emperor admirably.
If it goes the distance, Warhammer 40K: Darktide will get better with time. As it stands it's an enjoyable romp through an almost endearingly macabre world.

Today it's a really good game. I tried it on PC Game Pass then bought it on Steam and nowadays they added a new talent system that really makes each class have its own place. I really enjoy it, my only quirk with it is the current lack of maps and no real variations whatsoever, but that's really about it. If it had some semi-procedural system where at least you could have mixed layouts that'd make it a solid 10/10, you really get tired of the same maps

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a worthy successor to Vermintide. Fans of good first-person melee combat shouldn’t hesitate to check this one out.
The gameplay is great, brutal and dynamic, at the same time the game came straight with a decent selection of maps, albeit very similar. You will enjoy slashing, shooting and throwing out hordes of enemies with grenades. But the authors have literally not put many systems into the game yet, and more content will come later.
One day, Warhammer 40K: Darktide will be a great game. Fatshark, like many developers, has yet to perfect the art of the rough landing. A polished core experience can't overcome woeful performance and blatantly unfinished features, like the (almost) entirely missing crafting system. I'm confident, however, support will continue until Darktide ends up being the game we all hoped it would be.
Frustrating technical issues hold Darktide back from being the definitive Warhammer 40,000 experience on PC.
One should expect more from the extremely rich Warhammer 40k lore. Darktide has some good ideas but commits the ultimate sin for a game: it becomes boring due to its extreme repetitiveness.
Obvious Left 4 Dead 2 rip off, but that game is fun, so it isn't a bad thing. Some of the most satisfying and meaty first person melee combat I've seen in a videogame, and the classes offer a good bit of diversity in gameplay, although the gameplay loop is quite repetitive. Great to play with friends but can overstay it's welcome.

Pretty decent game it gets a bit repetitive. It would be very cool to see more environments and new classes in the future. The melee combat is fun but the ability balance between classes is all over the place.

I realy wish Fatshark would replicate their great models, maps and gameplay in a different engine. I still sometimes play Darktide but it is 100% DESPITE the effing garbage engine that they use. I cant get a stable framerate at even the lowest settings, hit registration issues are even more evident given the amount of ranged weapons compared to vermintide. There has been 1 new Map sinsce release which honestly i realy like a lot. But still the awful bugs, performance issues and also weird rendering of smoke and sometimes light are ruining the experience for me. Just make the same thing in something like Unreal and might even purchase something from the stupid cosmetics store.
