A massive improvement on Vermintide 1, took a Left 4 Dead clone and made it into its own interesting spin. Worth more than the pricepoint indicates, and it has a nice balance between managing progression with difficulty without ever forcing you to take on a greater challenge than you're comfortable with. Highly recommended if you have a friend or two to play with, and has been a solid positive experience since first playing.
As an aside selling for a budget price with no microtransactions at all in the base game is very much appreciated, but as the planned DLC roll out we'll see how that pans out long-term.* As of writing I consider it an entirely complete experience with nothing feeling significantly lacking.

*EDIT, 09.09.19:
Half the game is now locked behind DLC paywalls. No one DLC is particularly good or deserving of a purchase but when added up constitute a significant content disparity between players who have only the base game and players who have all the DLC purchases. Notably new content such as higher difficulty levels and new enemy types are paywalled.

While the base game is still an enjoyable romp the constant and ceaseless UI elements badgering you about 'this particular content is only available to paying customers of the such-and-such DLC' is severely pulling down. Strong recommendation moved to mild recommendation. The DLCs are not worth the price and all future content will be paid only.

EDIT, 31.06.19:
Bugs keep being reintroduced, gameplay loop less satisfying, basic functionality like kicking players does not work; overall a worse product than it was a year ago. A resounding 'meh' from me.

It doesn't add much to what CIV 5 already did, and keeps the same issues such as an absoloutely barebones AI that usually is unpleasant to play against. This does not justify a (at time of writing) a 60 Euro pricetag with an additional 60 Euros for the DLC. An absolutely extortionate price for what in effect is a DLC pack with nicer graphics.

Now, if you can get it for 80% off with all DLC included, then I think you'll get your money's worth. See ya in 2020.

A consistent level of quality throughout. As enjoyable as any other Obsidian game.

Same game but better.

Mount & Blade meets XCOM. Supremely written, excellent gameplay, and personally one of my favourite games of all time. Can not recommend strongly enough.

Giving good ol' standalone DayZ a downvote as it has been almost 4 years and the basic gameplay still isn't really there. Not even a bad game, just 3 years behind dev schedule and that can't be given an upvote. Iffy design choices on top. I feel like I've been patient enough.

You have no control of when a boss enemy spawns, they move every TURN you take and ALSO at the end of your round. They do immense damage, can usually instakill your troops, They are generally a bigger threat than the final boss of the game. I can safely say this is the least pleasant modification to XCOM I've ever experienced.

Main concern: Story. It is generic and still confusing. I like games with lots of conversation, this one suits that criteria, but it is often way too much.
Ex.1 At one point halfway into the game you can ask a character "What did you see at the night of the murder?" and it takes them 3 text screens and 5 sentences to say "Here's a cutscene."
Ex.2 Early in the game you are introduced to a large central story line and the character that explains this uses the better part of a novel, around 15 full text screens, to say what amounts to "That's the bad guy, you might want to stop him."
This game is in DIRE need of an editor to cut the fat. When you go in: go in in the full knowledge you will have to learn speed-reading pretty fast.

But aside from some minor bugs, that's about where the negatives ends. Almost all dialogue is beautifully voice-acted by a handful of VAs, even lowly NPCs (and animals) have full narration and flavour text and a lot of good comedy. This can not be understated in its enormity. The combat is amazing, where old RPG classics such as its predecessor of Divine Divinity or Baldur's gate can get clustered and spammy in combat; D:OS goes for turn based RPG combat and it works brilliantly. The world of a classic RPG with the combat of XCOM. Time to think your decisions through and know how they will affect the following turns is great, and helps when the greatest gimmick of the combat is "Environmental Hazards", fire spells and abilities light people and the ground on fire, and smoke obscures vision, and you can manipulate the battlefield as such with each of the main elements. It's a blast in COOP, though if you're a savvy minmaxer it wont offer much teeth past the first act.
For a game advertised as emulating freeform tabletop it does a good job with interactable environments with multiple ways to solve your problems.

A generic and slovenly story made up for with great gameplay. Rough around the edges but great fun: an amazing coop game.

Immensely slow development time which leads to the game lacking meaningful content. Despite the playtime the majority of it has been grinding and AFKing. There simply isn't any gameplay that justifies the price or time investment. Other adventure\building games does it better and faster. As of writing I've owned the game for two(?) years and the core combat mechanics are still WIP.

Mechanics fine, mostly responsive. Nemesis system gimmick quite amusing, comes into its own in the latter half of the game. Story absolute arse. Lots of fan service in a very gimmicky and tasteless way. Gameplay amusing and varied but individual tasks and aspects become repetitive and grindy.

I would recommend playing the first two thirds of the game, then uninstalling it. The final boss is literally 4 quick time events with no other interaction. Sequel bait ending. The awful story coupled with the downright pathetic ending (Deadline looming? Ran out of money? What exactly made this so breath-takingly awful?) makes this leave you with a severely disappointing after-taste.

Save your purchase for -70% sale. Though be sure to enjoy the parts that are actually fun.
