Insofar as the "everyone wears a mask" thing goes, that's partially canon to a LOT of underhives in 40k, not just necromunda as the air tends to be polluted in the industrial sectors that not wearing something to help filter the industrial byproducts out of the air will drastically shorten your lifespan.

@@isgodreal1337 I get it man, why do you think we bought these broken games even though we heard they had some "problems"? We tried to convince ourselves that our love for the genre/game type/franchise would outweigh all the bad and make it bearable. Trust us, it DOESN'T. Sorry that void might not get filled.
I feel like they really had a missed opportunity with the cybernetic enhancement sequence, 40k is a brutal, horrible setting and i would love to relive the only *good* trauma Quake 4 gave me where i was fully awake and coherent for my forced "upgrade" surgery in that game.
I haven’t noticed that at all the bolters I’ve been using have far out killed and damaged a lot of the enemies. Compared to me dumping at least 5-6 mags of the autogun I use 2-3 in the bolter (small mag size)
It should never take more than one shot to kill a normal human with a bolter. The thing is a literal automatic rocket launcher. Realistically a normal human shouldn't even be able to fire a bolter without nearly killing themselves from the recoil, augmented or not.
"This combat system does really feel like the developers have flung a heap of sh*t into the wall and hope it sticks" E.Y.E. is literally a heap that sticks
Yeah the level design is pretty on point 40k underhive minus the jankity Janko texture mapping but the shooting mechanics are pinche basura man I cant aim down the sites or even shoot for literally seconds after a reload. All the melee animations are really weak and jerky also. Skip this game and buy rage 2 if u want a dope scifi shooter. I only bought this bcz I'm a raging hammerhead that's how they got me. Don't fall for it. If u enjoy a good fps as much as u like 40k u will not be happy at all tho man.
I enjoyed deathwing but there's just not a lot of content when all is said and done. I think I'll be picking this up and take it for what it is. I'm tired of long games.
He even looks like him. Cool. Edit: i also didnt know Kal Jericho before this comment and i have read the complete Gaunts Ghosts and some other 40K Books and plenty of web fluff. But thx to google i know that Kal Jericho is very prominent in the books of atleast one author and he has even his own GW figurine. That is as prominent as it gets in the 40K world.
Born the son of Necromunda's Planetary Governor Gerontius Helmawr and Heleana Jerico (which she later described as "just one of the many disagreeable things one has to do for the greater good of the Imperium"), Kal left the luxury of the spire for the life of a bounty hunter in the Underhive. Just another blue blood slumming it with daddy's money, no wonder he became a favorite.
Stop buying games whose target audience are 'suckers' then... I've bought about 15-20 games on Steam in the last 12 months and I've been happy with everyone one of them. You are clearly not checking out the indie market - that's what Steam is for.
@@sunnyjim1355 you are a true saint. Thank you you for changing my terroble habits and making the world a better place. Your standing ovation is in the mail.
I figured that an FPS located in Necromunda would have been better if it was along the lines of Metro Exodus style game play. Less power fantasy, more tactical.
If by tactical you mean something like a stealth game, Focus has published 2 pretty great stealth game, the Styx seried. So it shouldn't be impossible given the middle-market budget.
*Watch Mandalore's review on EYE: Divine Cybermancy and things will become a lot more clear for this game... Also they are aware of the audio muffling according to him. Being said if you aren't aware of the developer or the setting, doesn't negate the critique and legit criticisms of someone trying to get into the game.
So from this an Mandalores review it looks like I should wait a little bit and get it after a sizable patch to address some of the big concerns. Cause it looks really really fun.
@@walt_man hey as long as they update it enough to get it running smoothly and make sure all the mechanics work I'm good. Abandon away. As a personal preference I don't want my video games being updated constantly.
Same. But on Series X I've had two issues that make the game nigh unplayable (that are SUCH EASY FIXES) and if they just patched them I would wholeheartedly say I LOVE the game. Especially for $30 which is what it is on X|S with GamePass. Issue one? My game just hard crashed during the prologue, literally PRE-GAME Intro Mission. It's just poorly Optimized on all platforms it seems, there's not even HDR or Auto HDR- in a GORGEOUSLY LIT, DETAILED Gameworld like this?! "X|S Optimized" my ass. The second and MAIN Issue that has me worried and on the fence is this weird stuttering that happens when you move the Right Stick to aim (not 100% of the time, but close to it), but it's not the Frame Rate... I think if DF took a look they'd say it's the Frame _Pacing_ bc that's what feels like. It's like the game hovers at 58-60fps (there's a built-in Frame Counter - on CONSOLE - which is bizarre), but when you move RS to aim, it's like skittery and weird AF, to the point where it's too distracting. I'm NOT *dropping* frames tho, it's smooth enough like most troubled, Pre- Patch, 3rd party games on Series X since 2020. Until you move the damn Right Stick... it's very hard to explain how it looks, but it's unacceptable. I KNOW what normal Frame Dips and chugging look like from watching so much Digital Foundry, and playing games since 1991. I know when something is just fucked up that needs a Hotfix. Like combat and everything runs at near-solid 60, except for the most important thing lol. I've tried fucking around with the FOV slider, the damn Aim Sens & Deadzone settings, nothing fixed it. Then it just crashed to Dashboard for no reason, there wasn't even anything heavy happening onscreen. Idk if I should wait or try a Refund immediately. Which I probably won't get.
Came in expecting a Warhammer 4K version of that unreleased Prey 2 game, also about a freerunning bounty hunter in a strange city. May have to lower that for now.
Yeah they promoted it as prey 2 and its basically a budget DOOM. I didn't have my hopes up considering they made Space Hulk but im still disappointed :(
@@MrSwitchblade327 Im just using Prey 2 as a reference for the kind of game it seemed they were going for Gameplay overview trailer made it seem like there were consequences to which contracts you chose and that the world would evolve based on your choices, but after watching the mandalore gaming review it looks like there's a hubworld and there are some side missions to choose from but the game seems pretty linear and most of the faction system results in cosmetic rewards rather than actual changes to the story/world. Some other stuff i saw on the steam page said there'd be a lot of customisation but after watching this video it looks like there isn't too much. They didn't directly reference it but it seemed inline with what prey 2 was originally going to be years ago even if it was on a budget. I'll see how it goes after some patches though, could still be really good down the line and i want to see more warhammer shooters.
Damn, was looking forward to this one. Hopefully Darktide will be good. Tbh, I think this game is an example of why smaller teams really need to be careful about feature creep. They probably could have dropped a few things in this game to give more attention to other parts that clearly needed it.
This game might not be the most polished, but it’s fun. Which is a word that I can’t use to describe most double or triple A games these days. So I’m happy with it.
If they take the criticism on board it'll get even better too. It's a diamond in the rough and I desperately hope they don't abandon it. So much potential, to the point that even in this state it still has it's moments.
@@Luke-ef1px To be fair they did a redux edition where they improve the framerate issue and added more content before abandoning it. So they did some fairness for deathwing and on top of it its derp cheap redux edition is about 30 bucks or less.
@@MrSwitchblade327 it probably gives video game, 'journalists' flashbacks to doom eternal, another game their midwit iqs and palsied nervous systems couldn't handle.
Huh. They seemed to have pretty much the same take on it to me. I mean, after watching both reviews I have no desire to play this pos. If I thought Mandelore liked it I would get it
@@brianepstein8444 To quote Mandalore: "Still, to give a quote to take wildly out of context, this is the best Warhammer 40k shooter I've ever played. We are operating on one hell of a scale, but even with the jank and bugs, I still stand by that. Franchise aside, I still had a lot of fun with Necromunda." In comparison to GMan's saying that only patching would save this game, Mandalore also went on to say that if they kept adding onto the game with patches, "the sky's the limit". They're clearly hitting the same problems, and agreeing on most of the objective facts about the game, but Mandalore's takeaway is clearly more positive.
Hold on, the price of a game is not an automatic indicator of its actual gamepkay quality. I put Ultrakill (an indie shooter) on the same tier as DOOM:E as far as gameplay goes.
@@requiemagent3014 I mean doom bored me out so quick I shouldn't have bought the games, fukin 60$ for only like 20 hours when I bought hunt showdown for 30$ and have played it for 3 years, doom was just too short and 60$ I dont think it's worth it for me and the pvp mode from 2016 is in eternal, I rather go play tarkov
id like to point out that their is an inventory screen in a minimal way, you can see the different weapons you have and you can upgrade them individually, and you have a stat screen for each weapon when in the hub. You also complain about being able to get through the game with one weapon but also in the same breath say that you found the game so hard at points you had to spam the takedown button? would maybe experimenting with different weapon types not have possibly solved this for you? there are several power weapons like heavy bolters and rocket launchers, plasma guns that are quite good at murdering the bad guys. Not to mention using early game weapons for most of the game and not trying out the tools given to you kind of limits the scope of the combat and drives you into the patterns you find annoying? My friend played through doom eternal never using weapon mods or upgrading the doom guy just firing the rocket launcher at the ground and then declared the game not as good as doom 2016 and overall bad. I guess what i'm asking is how can the game be bad because you only needed the assault rifle when you didn't bother to try out any of the weapons that are quite good at killing groups or doing higher damage? Games definitely jank, but come on man you're shooting yourself in the foot by presenting a narrative that you only needed one weapon while also calling the game too hard.
Odds are there'll be a lot of re-reviews after the a month or two of patchin. Streum ain't melted with projects so they'll probably be on board for this one
@@iHawke because its in way better shape then many other launches of games with a fatter budget. It's optimized well, isn't filled with crashes and bugs. The experience itself is good, the only problem is that it didn't get enough player input to iron out design issues.
@@iHawke I think that you can't say the game is too hard and also say you only tried out one or two similar weapons. It might not change anything, but it shows poor thoroughness in the review process. That defense of the game is inarguably accurate. So far 3 out of 4 reviewers I enjoy and trust are positive, but critical of the jank. The others tried out more weapons. Take that for what you will.
Do an EYE review, the game deserves it! Even so that you can just sh*t upon it, albeit it doesn't deserve it. Entirely. BTW it's the same devs, please look it up
I do have a feeling that the devs will tidy this up well, If anyone remembers EYE Divine Cybermancy release and how much better it got then most things will probably be fixed, as the key problems are not really that bad tbh.
"It's like one of those really broken mods that someone would make for Half-Life 2..." What a coincidence, that's exactly where this team got their start. EYE Divine Cybermancy was an incredibly jank source engine game with heavy 40k vibes.
All these games which are amazing you hear nothing about, yet crap games get main stream. Honestly, these small development teams are 100s of times better than the same crap we get from big companies
You do realize this was made by a team of around ten people right? This wasn’t made by a big company or a big studio, this was made by a small studio that got the chance to make a game for a franchise they love.
I really didn't see any good enough gameplay from the trailers to decide whether or not I wanted to pre-order or buy Necromunda. And when I saw which studio was developing it I was even more unsure if I wanted to get it. Now this video will help me decide. Edit: Yeah... Not as good as I would want, pretty normal for Streum On Studio.
@@DCGMatthew1 your right how dare a company charge 65%(right now almost 50%) of what triple A games are asking instead of 20% , it’s like those bastards want to survive as a company or something. The game is from a double A studio, is it buggy? Yeah but it’s still playable, and it’s a fun game that’s worth what it’s asking. A game doesn’t have to be a 10/10 game that completely changes the way we think of the medium in order to deserve to exist. If you don’t want to play it then don’t, there’s no reason to call it a bad game just because you don’t want to play it. Jank is not an immediate disqualification from being good
@@dirpyturtle69 Did I say jank made a game bad? I play Zero Hour, I bought it at launch for $5 or $10. It has jank, but I feel I got way more than my money's worth on it, and they had less people and money than Streum On Studio. The asking price is quite a lot for what you get in this game. And it should be a lot less jank and fleshed out if they're gonna ask for that much. Triple A games on average are $50 to $80 AUD, this game costs $55, $60 or more if you want a physical copy. That is not a cheap game. I never said this game is bad either, I said it's janky and kinda bad, so mediocre. Would I recommend it? Not at the price it is now I wouldn't. Same as how I wouldn't recommend Space Hulk: Deathwing at the normal price. But if the price is lower I'd probably recommend to try it out. If any other game asked for this price and was this level of jank everyone would probably say it's terrible and steer clear of it. Actually, to add on even more and make this comment even longer and not putting paragraphs, Streum On hyped this game up, talked about all this awesome stuff the game was gonna have, stuff you could do, etc... They oversold what the game has, just as CD Projekt Red overhyped and oversold Cyberpunk, not having a bunch if the stuff they said they'd have. If I'm gonna spend that much on a game I at least want it to feel worth it and actually be able to play what they described. I wonder if Streum On wanted to release the game yet, or if maybe Focus made them... Because I want their games to be amazing, we can see the huge potential from their two Warhammer games. If they had more time with this it could've been so much better instead of just ok.
@@DCGMatthew1 the game is not nearly as janky as people are making it out to be, people are making it out to sound like cyberpunk but it’s not, it’s nowhere close to that bad. As for features that arnt in the game? Well I mean... yeah it sucks but come on now, how many times does that have to happen before the community realizes that what’s promised is almost never what’s actually there. Like come on this has been a golden rule for nearly 15 years lmao You should watch gameranx video on the game he’s able to better put into words what I mean, he’s impartial and isn’t just non stop tearing the game to shreds. I like gman but as reviews his videos suck.
Liam Idk if you played Biomutant but the game did do a lot of experimenting from the narrator and crafting system I just think they bit more than what they could chew I still feel like Biomutant I just don’t think it should’ve been a full price game
Liam they did do a huge update a couple days ago so who knows they might fix theirs mistakes in the future. But I understand what you mean the story felt very Ubisoft
@@avengeddecay2360 oh I didn't know about that tbh. hopefully they polish it up over time because it's a beautiful game especially for indie. but yeah they were way to ambitious for their first game.
This is a great example of modern Euro-jank. Euro-jank has given us so many great gameplay concepts, such as deadly falling water drops and super floaty jumping.
Kind of disappointed by this after EYE and Space Hulk Deathwing. I feel like these devs have it in them to make a really good (if janky) game with the right time and resources. EYE was really fun and had a lot of cool things to do, but was very obtuse at times and its story was almost incomprehensible. Deathwing, kind of like this game, showed a lot of reverence for the source material and some good gunplay but was marred by how obviously unfinished it was. I kind of feel bad for Streum Studio because it seems like they keep not having the resources to fulfill their ambitions which has them stuck in a loop. I think maybe they should just lessen the scope of one of their games and put out a small-budget game that does what it does really well, and maybe they'll actually secure enough funds to make their big hit sometime.
For those who are interested - first patch is already out: Audio * Dialogue sound mixing improvements (global VO volume increased) * Added missing sound FXs in levels Bug fixes * Fix a possible blocker during the Takedown tutorial * Fix of a random bug causing an incorrect offset in aiming alignment * Fix of Numpad keys triggering unexpected behaviours ingame * Invert camera setting doesn't apply on the wheel selection anymore * Fix of a bug when opening a menu while Strengh Booster is still active * Various fixes Gamepad * Rework of the Aim Assist when the player switch to iron sight
40K fans are accustomed to jank. Dawn of War 1 and 2, Space Marine and Mechanicus are about the only games that are actually well-made and polished. Games Workshop doesn't give their license to big studios with large budgets, they always give it to smaller studios, some of which don't have much prior experience. Sometimes that gamble pays off (like with Mechanicus), but more often than not it results in games that are mediocre or flat out bad. If the game is janky but still kinda fun, we usually call that a win. I'm definitely gonna pick this game up, but I'll wait until they put out a couple patches first.
I'm still playing space marine to this day... And it sure as hell ain't polished. Mostly it's the peer to peer connection, but that still leaves all the matchmaking bugs and animation cancels.
@@frankmateo9270 well...compared to most 40K games it's polished. Being a 40K fan kind of made me lower my standards in games. Then again, I do like Bethesda games, so maybe my standards were always low.
For some reason that's always the case with games published by Focus Home Interactive (no matter who the actual developers are). Most of their games are the very definition of jank, sloppiness and lack of polish. Which, however, always manages to have at least something positive and interesting and sometimes even makes you actually finish the game having some sort of fun: Styx, Vampyr, Sherlock Holmes games, A Plague Tale: Innocense, 2018's Call of Cthulhu, you name it.
Styx is at the far end of that spectrum though, played it some months ago and didn't experience much jank. Though it's probably a different story at launch.
@@fatihnri2484 I agree here. Both Styx games are good, at least when it comes to core gameplay. It's just that they're trying to look like AAA while obviously not having enough budget for that. Same thing with A Plague Tale: Innocense: it mostly looks great, the story is interesting enough, the gameplay is fine, the selling-point rat horde mechanic is pretty impressive, but it's still rough around the edges.
LISTEN EVERYONE from the very start we all knew this game was being made by the French devs that made EYE and Space Hulk Deathwing . We all know it will be at least TWO YEARS until the game is actually good. Now if you want to cry and give it a bad review it is ok but don't act like you got lied to or taken by surprise. I also love all of you.
Because nobody is gonna make a Necron-based shooter where we can conquer the galaxy and eliminate the races that pose a threat to us by traveling to parts of the galaxy that are home to all the different Dynasties. Give us the ability to choose what Dynasty we start out as and let us guide them in whatever way we see fit. Let us choose whether or not we take the path of killing everyone we see or making them work for us. Each choice having different effects on materials gathering and strategy when the Imperium eventually tries to purge our human menials. However janky this game is it's gonna be nice to be immersed in 40k environments and be able to shoot shit with powerful weapons myself rather than click with my mouse to send units to a location. Strategy games fucking suck.
@@GladBoysPainBoys "Strategy games fucking suck." Yeah, they sure do. Letting you be able to create and control armies of badass units that can obliterate squadrons of enemy soldiers. Man, it's almost as if these genres of games provide different power fantasies where one lets you be an invincible action hero and the other lets you be a commander of an unstoppable legion.
@@shadowmaydawn Point and click strategy games do fucking suck. Just click and watch the guys on the screen do the thing. Wow so much fun. Not saying that strategy is a bad thing. I’d love a game where I have to put together a squad and divvy out resources for R&D and whatnot to be able to win battles, but for as much cool shit as this universe has and how much potential there is to make a sick game with everything provided, it’s incredibly exasperating to watch it be yet another “point and click to watch the fight” type of game.
@@GladBoysPainBoys Yeah, it can actually be really fun especially when you are performing some ingenious manoeuvre. Watching your guys just tear through a battalion can be just as satisfying as obliterating an enemy with a rocket launcher. And the reason that Warhammer video games commonly are Point and Click strategy is that they match closely to the original tabletop games. Also, FPS or TPS strategy games are quite limiting since, at most, you can only command a small squadron which you don't have precise control over.
@@shadowmaydawn yeah but the vast majority of Warhammer titles since its inception have all been strategy games. It’s long been monotonous. It’s time GW starts getting into more variety.
It has its flaws(enemies popping in behind you being a big nuisance) but I'm really enjoying it. Fast paced, solid shooting in great environments. It scratches my fps and 40k itch.

The Hive Citys are very different from the rest of the 40K World. But i admit it seems a bit disconnected and the levels could use more variety from what ive seen so far.
Necromunda itself doesn't seem like it's part of 40k. There is too much bizarrity that makes it stand out from what you would expect stereotypical Imperial world to be

“Automatic rifle and bolter the same in terms of damage output”- In a 40k game, that is heresy.
What the fuck
I haven’t noticed that at all the bolters I’ve been using have far out killed and damaged a lot of the enemies. Compared to me dumping at least 5-6 mags of the autogun I use 2-3 in the bolter (small mag size)

"Some dude named Kal..."
As in Kal Jericho... A legendary figure in 40K fiction. :P
He even looks like him. Cool.
Edit: i also didnt know Kal Jericho before this comment and i have read the complete Gaunts Ghosts and some other 40K Books and plenty of web fluff. But thx to google i know that Kal Jericho is very prominent in the books of atleast one author and he has even his own GW figurine. That is as prominent as it gets in the 40K world.
GMan is 40k illiterate.
I still remember the comics with him in it. They're great.
Born the son of Necromunda's Planetary Governor Gerontius Helmawr and Heleana Jerico (which she later described as "just one of the many disagreeable things one has to do for the greater good of the Imperium"), Kal left the luxury of the spire for the life of a bounty hunter in the Underhive.
Just another blue blood slumming it with daddy's money, no wonder he became a favorite.

15:57 You pretty much described EYE here, which is what this dev team is most known for making.
I figured that an FPS located in Necromunda would have been better if it was along the lines of Metro Exodus style game play. Less power fantasy, more tactical.
Agreed! Or more like Deus Ex
so something with 5 times the budget of this?
@@47OX Low budget is no excuse for making trash.
@@47OX people used to make way better games with less people and a smaller budget, that arguement doesn't fly
If by tactical you mean something like a stealth game, Focus has published 2 pretty great stealth game, the Styx seried. So it shouldn't be impossible given the middle-market budget.
*Watch Mandalore's review on EYE: Divine Cybermancy and things will become a lot more clear for this game... Also they are aware of the audio muffling according to him. Being said if you aren't aware of the developer or the setting, doesn't negate the critique and legit criticisms of someone trying to get into the game.
Honestly, sometimes someone coming in blind is best to criticize. Because a lot of people will get it and play it from that position of ignorance.
So from this an Mandalores review it looks like I should wait a little bit and get it after a sizable patch to address some of the big concerns. Cause it looks really really fun.
Like their previous games, it will be abandoned in 6-8 months

Tbh I wasn't expecting this to be a 10/10 game just something fun to play
Same bro. Just wanted a violent, fast, fun 40k shooter.
exactlyy
Well, I wanna play it...
I'm interested in WH40K, but I don't give a damn about boardgaming. Or RTS games. Or modelling.
Same. But on Series X I've had two issues that make the game nigh unplayable (that are SUCH EASY FIXES) and if they just patched them I would wholeheartedly say I LOVE the game. Especially for $30 which is what it is on X|S with GamePass. Issue one? My game just hard crashed during the prologue, literally PRE-GAME Intro Mission. It's just poorly Optimized on all platforms it seems, there's not even HDR or Auto HDR- in a GORGEOUSLY LIT, DETAILED Gameworld like this?! "X|S Optimized" my ass. The second and MAIN Issue that has me worried and on the fence is this weird stuttering that happens when you move the Right Stick to aim (not 100% of the time, but close to it), but it's not the Frame Rate... I think if DF took a look they'd say it's the Frame _Pacing_ bc that's what feels like. It's like the game hovers at 58-60fps (there's a built-in Frame Counter - on CONSOLE - which is bizarre), but when you move RS to aim, it's like skittery and weird AF, to the point where it's too distracting. I'm NOT *dropping* frames tho, it's smooth enough like most troubled, Pre- Patch, 3rd party games on Series X since 2020. Until you move the damn Right Stick... it's very hard to explain how it looks, but it's unacceptable. I KNOW what normal Frame Dips and chugging look like from watching so much Digital Foundry, and playing games since 1991. I know when something is just fucked up that needs a Hotfix. Like combat and everything runs at near-solid 60, except for the most important thing lol. I've tried fucking around with the FOV slider, the damn Aim Sens & Deadzone settings, nothing fixed it. Then it just crashed to Dashboard for no reason, there wasn't even anything heavy happening onscreen. Idk if I should wait or try a Refund immediately. Which I probably won't get.
Anybody who expects a 10/10 game these days is deluded.
i can recognize that company's jank from a screenshot. It all started from EYE cybermancy lol
Came in expecting a Warhammer 4K version of that unreleased Prey 2 game, also about a freerunning bounty hunter in a strange city.
May have to lower that for now.
Yeah they promoted it as prey 2 and its basically a budget DOOM. I didn't have my hopes up considering they made Space Hulk but im still disappointed :(
@@eo8240 We haven't had any good bounty hunter-themed FPS for a while now, might as well keep waiting.
@@eo8240 did they? Where?
@@MrSwitchblade327 Im just using Prey 2 as a reference for the kind of game it seemed they were going for Gameplay overview trailer made it seem like there were consequences to which contracts you chose and that the world would evolve based on your choices, but after watching the mandalore gaming review it looks like there's a hubworld and there are some side missions to choose from but the game seems pretty linear and most of the faction system results in cosmetic rewards rather than actual changes to the story/world. Some other stuff i saw on the steam page said there'd be a lot of customisation but after watching this video it looks like there isn't too much. They didn't directly reference it but it seemed inline with what prey 2 was originally going to be years ago even if it was on a budget.
I'll see how it goes after some patches though, could still be really good down the line and i want to see more warhammer shooters.
That was my thought as well. The marketing really made the game look a lot less linear and more open than it actually is.
Gman and Mandalore dropped reviews at the same time? Nice

Review embargo
Funny, I just watched Mandalore give this a "janky, but still fun." Then again, he's probably more into this particular kind of jank.
Huh. They seemed to have pretty much the same take on it to me.
I mean, after watching both reviews I have no desire to play this pos. If I thought Mandelore liked it I would get it
Skill up said almost the exact same thing as well
@@brianepstein8444 To quote Mandalore: "Still, to give a quote to take wildly out of context, this is the best Warhammer 40k shooter I've ever played. We are operating on one hell of a scale, but even with the jank and bugs, I still stand by that. Franchise aside, I still had a lot of fun with Necromunda." In comparison to GMan's saying that only patching would save this game, Mandalore also went on to say that if they kept adding onto the game with patches, "the sky's the limit".
They're clearly hitting the same problems, and agreeing on most of the objective facts about the game, but Mandalore's takeaway is clearly more positive.
@@WraithMagus Mando is also really into the 40k universe, so that gives him a more enjoyable experience in that context.

You are right. This sucks ass. Just stick with Doom eternal. Save your money.
Hold on, the price of a game is not an automatic indicator of its actual gamepkay quality. I put Ultrakill (an indie shooter) on the same tier as DOOM:E as far as gameplay goes.
@@requiemagent3014 I mean doom bored me out so quick I shouldn't have bought the games, fukin 60$ for only like 20 hours when I bought hunt showdown for 30$ and have played it for 3 years, doom was just too short and 60$ I dont think it's worth it for me and the pvp mode from 2016 is in eternal, I rather go play tarkov
A good example of a AA game though is Terminator: Resistance, especially with it's infiltrator mode, that game feels an awful lot tighter than this
I saw other TH-camrs putting this review out and I just thought to myself... yeah I will wait for the Gman, he is my go to FPS guy!
Lol nah more like my go to for any game review’👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That stale farts comment along with the sound had me in stitches lmao
Ikr, I luv my farts fresh.
id like to point out that their is an inventory screen in a minimal way, you can see the different weapons you have and you can upgrade them individually, and you have a stat screen for each weapon when in the hub. You also complain about being able to get through the game with one weapon but also in the same breath say that you found the game so hard at points you had to spam the takedown button? would maybe experimenting with different weapon types not have possibly solved this for you? there are several power weapons like heavy bolters and rocket launchers, plasma guns that are quite good at murdering the bad guys. Not to mention using early game weapons for most of the game and not trying out the tools given to you kind of limits the scope of the combat and drives you into the patterns you find annoying? My friend played through doom eternal never using weapon mods or upgrading the doom guy just firing the rocket launcher at the ground and then declared the game not as good as doom 2016 and overall bad.
I guess what i'm asking is how can the game be bad because you only needed the assault rifle when you didn't bother to try out any of the weapons that are quite good at killing groups or doing higher damage?
Games definitely jank, but come on man you're shooting yourself in the foot by presenting a narrative that you only needed one weapon while also calling the game too hard.
Good points.
Odds are there'll be a lot of re-reviews after the a month or two of patchin. Streum ain't melted with projects so they'll probably be on board for this one
@@nightmagnus7595 but the game shouldn't come out in such a state anyway, why are you excusing them?
@@iHawke because its in way better shape then many other launches of games with a fatter budget. It's optimized well, isn't filled with crashes and bugs. The experience itself is good, the only problem is that it didn't get enough player input to iron out design issues.
@@iHawke I think that you can't say the game is too hard and also say you only tried out one or two similar weapons. It might not change anything, but it shows poor thoroughness in the review process.
That defense of the game is inarguably accurate.
So far 3 out of 4 reviewers I enjoy and trust are positive, but critical of the jank. The others tried out more weapons. Take that for what you will.
Do an EYE review, the game deserves it! Even so that you can just sh*t upon it, albeit it doesn't deserve it. Entirely.

All these games which are amazing you hear nothing about, yet crap games get main stream. Honestly, these small development teams are 100s of times better than the same crap we get from big companies
most of the time but ya
You do realize this was made by a team of around ten people right? This wasn’t made by a big company or a big studio, this was made by a small studio that got the chance to make a game for a franchise they love.
@@deadinside8891 Yeah, this is not a tripple A game, if even double A.

@@Marcusianery the game is pretty much a very high end indie game. The fact that the game even looks as good as it does here is pretty impressive.

Developer - Streum On Studio
I really didn't see any good enough gameplay from the trailers to decide whether or not I wanted to pre-order or buy Necromunda. And when I saw which studio was developing it I was even more unsure if I wanted to get it. Now this video will help me decide.
Edit: Yeah... Not as good as I would want, pretty normal for Streum On Studio.
It’s like some people went in expecting triple A quality.
Or something that isn't completely janky and kinda bad? Since games that are cheaper did better with less money.
@@DCGMatthew1 your right how dare a company charge 65%(right now almost 50%) of what triple A games are asking instead of 20% , it’s like those bastards want to survive as a company or something.
The game is from a double A studio, is it buggy? Yeah but it’s still playable, and it’s a fun game that’s worth what it’s asking. A game doesn’t have to be a 10/10 game that completely changes the way we think of the medium in order to deserve to exist. If you don’t want to play it then don’t, there’s no reason to call it a bad game just because you don’t want to play it. Jank is not an immediate disqualification from being good
@@dirpyturtle69 Did I say jank made a game bad? I play Zero Hour, I bought it at launch for $5 or $10. It has jank, but I feel I got way more than my money's worth on it, and they had less people and money than Streum On Studio. The asking price is quite a lot for what you get in this game. And it should be a lot less jank and fleshed out if they're gonna ask for that much. Triple A games on average are $50 to $80 AUD, this game costs $55, $60 or more if you want a physical copy. That is not a cheap game. I never said this game is bad either, I said it's janky and kinda bad, so mediocre. Would I recommend it? Not at the price it is now I wouldn't. Same as how I wouldn't recommend Space Hulk: Deathwing at the normal price. But if the price is lower I'd probably recommend to try it out.
If any other game asked for this price and was this level of jank everyone would probably say it's terrible and steer clear of it.
Actually, to add on even more and make this comment even longer and not putting paragraphs, Streum On hyped this game up, talked about all this awesome stuff the game was gonna have, stuff you could do, etc... They oversold what the game has, just as CD Projekt Red overhyped and oversold Cyberpunk, not having a bunch if the stuff they said they'd have. If I'm gonna spend that much on a game I at least want it to feel worth it and actually be able to play what they described. I wonder if Streum On wanted to release the game yet, or if maybe Focus made them... Because I want their games to be amazing, we can see the huge potential from their two Warhammer games. If they had more time with this it could've been so much better instead of just ok.
@@DCGMatthew1 the game is not nearly as janky as people are making it out to be, people are making it out to sound like cyberpunk but it’s not, it’s nowhere close to that bad.
As for features that arnt in the game? Well I mean... yeah it sucks but come on now, how many times does that have to happen before the community realizes that what’s promised is almost never what’s actually there. Like come on this has been a golden rule for nearly 15 years lmao

Damn, 3 game reviewers I follow posted Hired Gun in the spam of 20 minutes. They formed a secret society.
or an review NDA lifted like with every other game lol
Kind of disappointed by this after EYE and Space Hulk Deathwing. I feel like these devs have it in them to make a really good (if janky) game with the right time and resources. EYE was really fun and had a lot of cool things to do, but was very obtuse at times and its story was almost incomprehensible. Deathwing, kind of like this game, showed a lot of reverence for the source material and some good gunplay but was marred by how obviously unfinished it was. I kind of feel bad for Streum Studio because it seems like they keep not having the resources to fulfill their ambitions which has them stuck in a loop. I think maybe they should just lessen the scope of one of their games and put out a small-budget game that does what it does really well, and maybe they'll actually secure enough funds to make their big hit sometime.
For real.

40K fans are accustomed to jank. Dawn of War 1 and 2, Space Marine and Mechanicus are about the only games that are actually well-made and polished. Games Workshop doesn't give their license to big studios with large budgets, they always give it to smaller studios, some of which don't have much prior experience. Sometimes that gamble pays off (like with Mechanicus), but more often than not it results in games that are mediocre or flat out bad. If the game is janky but still kinda fun, we usually call that a win. I'm definitely gonna pick this game up, but I'll wait until they put out a couple patches first.
I'm still playing space marine to this day... And it sure as hell ain't polished. Mostly it's the peer to peer connection, but that still leaves all the matchmaking bugs and animation cancels.
@@frankmateo9270 well...compared to most 40K games it's polished. Being a 40K fan kind of made me lower my standards in games. Then again, I do like Bethesda games, so maybe my standards were always low.
Before watching this video, I thought this was a coop horde shooter.
For some reason that's always the case with games published by Focus Home Interactive (no matter who the actual developers are). Most of their games are the very definition of jank, sloppiness and lack of polish. Which, however, always manages to have at least something positive and interesting and sometimes even makes you actually finish the game having some sort of fun: Styx, Vampyr, Sherlock Holmes games, A Plague Tale: Innocense, 2018's Call of Cthulhu, you name it.
Styx is at the far end of that spectrum though, played it some months ago and didn't experience much jank. Though it's probably a different story at launch.
@@fatihnri2484 I agree here. Both Styx games are good, at least when it comes to core gameplay. It's just that they're trying to look like AAA while obviously not having enough budget for that. Same thing with A Plague Tale: Innocense: it mostly looks great, the story is interesting enough, the gameplay is fine, the selling-point rat horde mechanic is pretty impressive, but it's still rough around the edges.
"Human Sized Bullet Magnet" is definitely the way 4k describes most mortals in this world.
I can't understand why every 40k game seems either underwhelming or just plain shite
Because GW is giving away the license for peanuts so pretty much everyone can make a 40k game.
@@n3croticism funny that they used to be really tight with licensing hence the lack of games
Don't know if ARPG hacknslash games are ya thing, but 40k Inquisitor Martyr is a pretty solid 40k game.

We'll be in the 41st millennium by the time a properly badass, FPS Warhammer game is delivered.
LISTEN EVERYONE
from the very start we all knew this game was being made by the French devs that made EYE and Space Hulk Deathwing . We all know it will be at least TWO YEARS until the game is actually good. Now if you want to cry and give it a bad review it is ok but don't act like you got lied to or taken by surprise. I also love all of you.
I love that outro music you use
Why can’t we just have the perfect 40K game already...
Because nobody is gonna make a Necron-based shooter where we can conquer the galaxy and eliminate the races that pose a threat to us by traveling to parts of the galaxy that are home to all the different Dynasties. Give us the ability to choose what Dynasty we start out as and let us guide them in whatever way we see fit. Let us choose whether or not we take the path of killing everyone we see or making them work for us. Each choice having different effects on materials gathering and strategy when the Imperium eventually tries to purge our human menials. However janky this game is it's gonna be nice to be immersed in 40k environments and be able to shoot shit with powerful weapons myself rather than click with my mouse to send units to a location. Strategy games fucking suck.
@@GladBoysPainBoys "Strategy games fucking suck."
Yeah, they sure do. Letting you be able to create and control armies of badass units that can obliterate squadrons of enemy soldiers. Man, it's almost as if these genres of games provide different power fantasies where one lets you be an invincible action hero and the other lets you be a commander of an unstoppable legion.
@@shadowmaydawn Point and click strategy games do fucking suck. Just click and watch the guys on the screen do the thing. Wow so much fun. Not saying that strategy is a bad thing. I’d love a game where I have to put together a squad and divvy out resources for R&D and whatnot to be able to win battles, but for as much cool shit as this universe has and how much potential there is to make a sick game with everything provided, it’s incredibly exasperating to watch it be yet another “point and click to watch the fight” type of game.
@@GladBoysPainBoys Yeah, it can actually be really fun especially when you are performing some ingenious manoeuvre. Watching your guys just tear through a battalion can be just as satisfying as obliterating an enemy with a rocket launcher. And the reason that Warhammer video games commonly are Point and Click strategy is that they match closely to the original tabletop games. Also, FPS or TPS strategy games are quite limiting since, at most, you can only command a small squadron which you don't have precise control over.
@@shadowmaydawn yeah but the vast majority of Warhammer titles since its inception have all been strategy games. It’s long been monotonous. It’s time GW starts getting into more variety.

Imagine if we had to fight a Space Marine in this game, I would play it just for that
Is it a AAA polished masterpiece? No. Is it fun? Yes. Is it a decent attempt for an indie studio? Absolutely
Pretty sick of 40K games being unpolished and wasted potentials.
YEP
Title screen screen says version .58125 - which is probably also a stand in for how close to completion it is
Man... I just want a good Warhammer shooter...
This is a good warhammer shooter. It’s not amazing, but there is fun to be had here.
@@thomasscialpi2146 I think he wants something better than "ok".
Love your reviews GMan, def the most informative and fun to watch. Wish you did letsplays or walkthroughs
I'm ngl this game looks awesome
@@RezaQin yes I will
Will you ever give your PC specs/set-up update video or anything of the like? Great content and I thank you for your hard work. God bless.
[Speech] Hey Gman, would you be keen on reviewing Medal of Honor European Assault and Rising Sun?
so the meele is like BF3 but without people? just meele and get insta kill?
The Inquisition is going to have a field day with this game
I didn't realize this came out today! I got so excited seeing you review it good to know this is probably a 15$ on sale type of game I was gonna pick it up but I'm gonna wait I'm not a very big Warhammer guy but it looked so cool
hard mode was hard, well no duh
Got my gaming laptop, I'm gonna browse your reviews. Who knows what masterpieces I am going to uncover and play.
No point having high fps is you can't actually make out what's going on
I enjoyed this quite lot actually. The atmosphere is top notch! Also, the soundtrack is phenomenal
This doesn’t seem like it’s part of the 40k universe at all and honestly the whole thing seems like some standalone fan mod
Edit: glad he said the same thing and it’s not just me
The Hive Citys are very different from the rest of the 40K World. But i admit it seems a bit disconnected and the levels could use more variety from what ive seen so far.
Necromunda itself doesn't seem like it's part of 40k. There is too much bizarrity that makes it stand out from what you would expect stereotypical Imperial world to be
Music at the end…. Is that Penumbra?
This studio really really adores the 40k universe, and they always nail it visually, however the jank is a staple on their games, it may look better than E.Y.E but its still jank as hell
Edit: grammar
@@Largentina. thanks for the correction, english is my third language and my new phone is still getting used to my dumb hands, ill correct it! Aunque por tu nombre asumo que tambien el español es tu lengua madre jajaja
ok but why does the grappling hook not combo into a kill
In the Grim Darkness of the Future there is only bad to mediocre Warhammer games
ever talk about 40k games yeah I think I really need a huge Blockbuster like game or some as of latey but fantasy is doing well mainly because a total war and vermintide
@@changsiah2 They should get a good company and just make an open world rpg set in the fantasy universe. That universe has been doing well. 40K? Not so much.
@@chrisnichols197 I mean Total War Warhammer Trilogy has been doing pretty well and is the closest thing to an open-world but would like to see an actual one though Warhammer fantasy or 40k
Cheers for the no shite cover of this game bud.
I love WH40K so I'm still looking for one that matches or outdoes Fire Warrior cracked and modded. 😥
Wow, it looks just like every single other generic FPS released in the last ten years.
Flashy lights making it hard to focus on anything - Check!
All game items covered in a layer of shiny grease - Check!
LEZBEEUHN haircuts - Check!
I hate it, thanks.
Those lezbeuhn haircuts have been in Necromunda for at least 30 years, and for only one gang out of a dozen
Mandalore and gmanlives given me a nicely timed review
Your enjoyment of doom eternal makes me discard your opinions on gameplay. However, thanks for the footage, looks fun.
Grade A sarcasm. 👍
Have you guys heard done a review of warpips? If not can you do one?
This is the new standard: ship an unfinished product, and finish it over time. Everything is now early access.
You know it's a Streumon game when there's teleporting and exploding
