As someone who started off on the first Vermintide game and then the sequel both of which games i really enjoyed, In my opinion darktide is a little bit of a step down but that's not too say it's not fun or good!

Much like the other games there's not a whole lot of choice for levels, One night of fun on Darktide and you'll be likely to of played on all the maps. There is different difficulties on each map plus different effects such as Low enemies, High amount of enemies, no power so you've only got your characters light source and so on to keep it a little fresh atleast.

You also have the choice of 4 different characters to play as, Psykinetic, Sharpshooter, Preacher & the Skullbreaker.
Obviously each character has their own weapons, skills and usefulness for each type. When playing with others you can choose the same character to play as, so a full lobby could end up being just skullbreakers but there's usually a good amount of different characters people play as and achievements related to each seperate character.

To be completely honest, if there is a story to this game i have no clue what it is, this games just been a fun game to jump on and smack enemies heads in and hack n slash.

The Soundtrack is okay aswell, nothing special that gets stuck in your head and find yourself humming along too but i guess being this type of game it'd be weird if there was lol

definitely worth playing with friends for a bit of beat em up fun and just slaughter enemies.
