Necromunda: Hired Gun is a mess. It has cool looking enviroments fitting into the 40k universe, that are a slog to get through even with additional mobility options. I've found quite a few seemingly flat corridors/arenas with cracks/debris which makes sliding a chore. The zipline, double-jumping & side-dashing work a bit better and using these options make the game a bit more palatable. That said, the so-so gunplay and spongy enemies make combat irritating after a while. At least the gibs are there, so that's nice.

During my story run I ran into a couple of bugs: one (last) enemy falling off of a ramp to lava, but not dying, so I wasn't able to kill him to proceed, my HUD randomly disappeared after loading a save, and got stuck in the 'firing zipline' animation. Usually a reload was enough to fix these. Also for some reason I had some major framerate issues in the last 3 missions during some segments, compared to having 180+ fps in other missions.

Honestly, just play Doom (2016), Doom Eternal, or anything from New Blood Interactive instead.
