I recommend: Necromunda Hired Gun (Review)

Necromunda: Hired Gun is really janky, but it's also really fun. The developers set out to make a fast, mobile shooter with some innovative level design, and they did just that. Yeah, there's plenty of problems with it, but you're still likely going to have a good time with it. I recommend it.

“Way too fast aliens”. Okay, so the genestealers have lore-accurate speed, then.

[wartag]

For a team of 16 people, their work is beyond impressive.

Most reviews i've watched "wall run is useless"
Skill Up: "wall run is one of best skills"

[joshmay]

It says a lot about your skill as a reviewer that I enjoy listening to your reviews even about games and genres that I have no interest in whatsoever. There is always wisdom to be gleaned from your analysis of game design and experience. Thanks for doing what you do - you’re quickly becoming the best in the business IMO!

Genuinely one of my favorite single player fps's ever. It's rough around the edges but gameplay is and will always be king to me.

And a lot of the problems that you mentioned don't occur in the higher difficulties. You do have to react to what kind of enemy you're fighting and you're forced to use your powers wisely to survive. Also I'm confused about why you were ragging on the ability system for using key binds because I think that their ability wheel that's bound to the scroll wheel was incredibly elegant.



I'm praying they drop a sequel.

8:00, if Sam was playing on a 1080 then he couldnt possibly turn on DLSS. That requires tensor cores which dont exist on that architecture

[duncanself]

The level design looks good. I think the developers should be commended for even getting this game out in a decent state considering the pandemic. So as I'm a 40k nerd as well I think I'll pick this up to support their efforts, it's not even a full price game

[Axemania]

Finally, a wh40k fps that doesn't suck

Here's to hoping Darktide is just as enjoyable when it comes out

[Jorquay]

‘A lot of pig in that iron’ nice metaphor Skill Up!

Warhammer games: “They get the job done, but just barely.”

5:38 - thats like Po standing on a roof, shouting down. and everyone's like "what?!"

[BurnettGaming]

Another fantastic review. Really respect your review style. Honest, forgiving when it makes sense, critical where needed. I really appreciate the research you did into this one about the tabletop game too. I've never played Necromunda but I've been playing 40k since I was like 12 so it was nice to see some research done into it. Thanks for the great job.

[Towelietowel]

As a boomer, I'm always happy to try a new entry into the Boomer Shooter genre.

[fakedemocracy]

I didn't even know this was a game. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Will check it out.

[Johnny-uxyi]

this looks like Doom and Titanfall but on steroids, in a good way.

[ericwang]

A lot of the customisation and abilities seem to have been brought over from Streum's E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy, with all of the jank they entail. The ability menu seems to have been carried right over from E.Y.E, as do the inventory slots for torso, arms, legs etc.

[AdamIsUrqed]

This guy does this thing because this other guy said you did the other thing instead of what thing someone else was supposed to do is the core of Warhammer.

[Auxik]

The graphics don't look that dated to me.

I actually played the tabletop Necromunda and have always wanted an Xcom style Necromunda game because that's essentially what Necromunda tabletop was. But I've been looking forward to this.

[Obsidian]

Beyond all the in-depth analysis etc, there is a reason why your channel is spoken of with respect... you get to the point... 'Is, this, game, fun?'.

Nice.

[zydian_]

This game seems right up my alley. Long gameplay loop and all the hooks to keep coming back while getting better and fulfilling a power fantasy while gloriously killing baddies. pog
