Fatshark·Released Nov 30, 2022·Single player
From the developers of the best-selling and award-winning franchise Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city of Tertium. Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a fantastic co-op shooter that occasionally struggles under strain. The human character models don't exactly look great, but the game delivers what matters: strong gameplay and an excellent atmosphere that's a blast to play with friends.
Much like its endless enemies, Darktide's many small issues add up to a real nuisance - but Fatshark's stupendous atmosphere and vicious action prevails.
Warhammer 40K: Darktide is deliciously gory and grim, but a lackluster progression system and short, repetitive missions hold this Vermintide successor back
Darktide is the best iteration of Fatshark's co-op formula so far, but it's got a ways to go.
"As Darktide's levels aren't grouped into acts, it's much harder for Fatshark to tell coherent stories across them"
Darktide captures the most essential parts of its genre, though it sometimes stumbles when trying to build metagame content on top of that foundation.
Fatshark is poised to bottle lightning again
Darktide's ferocious battles make for some of the most thrilling co-op action in years.
