Warhammer 40K DARKTIDE is IMPRESSIVE but Not Without Issues
4I really loved FatSharks's Warhammer: Vermintide 1 & 2. They were games with problems, 100%, from overly grindy progression systems to some incredibly iffy balancing, but they were still probably the best Warhammer Fantasy computer game for my prefererences (don't @ me, Total War fans. I'm not a strategy guy).
And now we have Darktide, which is the Warhammer 40,000 equivalent, which I am excited about because 40K is one of my favourite sci-fi settings — even if I can't really stand the company that makes it (Not going to get into GW's capitalist ideology here).
This is my very first experience playing the Darktide closed beta which ran from October 14th - October 16th 2022. It covers:
00:00 - Intro movie reaction
00:58 - The Queue!
01:10 - Character Creation: Fluff and Class Select
07:10 - Character Creation: Appearance
14:45 - Training
22:35 - First Steps on the Morningstar
24:42 - First Mission
