Necromunda: Hired Gun on GOG - gog.la/DOOM40K THE LIST - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_K3ziSxT9zcUUGCddS4sF1uNJTWHSbOwB1CQX2Rx4Uo UPDATE: There is now a cooldown for takedowns. RUclips compression fragged this video a bit due to all the fog/particle effects. A lot of scenes look much better in-game.
tbh when I think of EYE devs I think of Joe Immortan pulling a weeb bandana, drawing a katana and driving a repurposed church like a car through desert yelling "SHINY AND CHROME! BREAK A LEG!" so I somehow didn't think they'd shy away from letting content creators have a whack at their product
most negative reviews comes from the jank the game is unpolished in areas true but eye was janky and smooth in a sense the jank doesnt mean its bad if its in the right areas thats why they gave it to mandy who had the right mindset for this game which is being a fan of E.Y.e and having substantial veiwers
This might just be my imagination, but in my mind the average person who would make a 40k game is way too busy thinking of cool mechanics, weapons and explosions, to spend time on the backstabbing, Game of Thrones, Soylent Green, Kafkaesque dystopia that is a proper modern advertisement campaign. Those marketing people seep in later.

Streumon always deliver jank, but having played a LOT of 40k games, I think they're the only team to accurately capture the spirit of the franchise - that it's about the sheer rusted, creaking weight of history all around you at all times, manifesting in all aspects of the world. Also, they always do satisfying weapons. Since EYE, the guns have been fundamentally fun to shoot.
I have kinda mixed feelings for this game, core gameplay is fun but needs a lot more polish, level design is hit or miss: Colos was great example of storyteling trough enviroment, it made me realise just how ridiculously masive everything is in wh40k universe and gave me a bit of insight into how hive cities work, but some other levels were clearly unfinished and pointles, or just a bad game design in general that pulls you out of immersion, characters are what you would expect from wh: serious edgelords or creepy old people that sell stuff, enemies are usualy a variations of punkers or metalheads with obscure weapon from wh40k lore like stubers and such, mutants are all the same just armed diferently, and tyranids made an aperance for level or two altough they were basic themselves It was a fun game but needs a lot of polish to become truly good
Streum-on always make me think some variation of: "Wow, this looks incredible! And the lore is amazing! And why am I phasing through a wall! And what the FUCK is this item! And wow it's so gripping and engaging! And..." Y'know what I mean? Like... I'm constantly going "this is incredible but excuse me what the fuck?" I will NEVER get over my first time loading into E.Y.E, having got deeply confused by what the genes were that I was expected to understand without prompting, and realising there was a tutorial _on how to use the tutorial._ A game that needs that is going to be either unbelievable, or *unbelievable.* And it was both :) I'm excited to see what Streum-on do next. They love the WH40K universe and I love them for it: while I never really got into the game itself, I love the world and its bonkers elements.
@@Abigail-hu5wf I just wish they'd been given the funding and time to keep working on Deathwing. If that game added some new game mode customisation, perhaps some new classes or different ammo types, maybe a versus mode... it could have been truly great.
To be fair, it's the Imperium. It should probably all burn to the ground. It's just unfortunate so many innocent civilians (and doggos) get caught in the crossfire.
Pretty sure a real bolter would sound very underwhelming. They're gyrojets, which real world examples are fairly quiet as far as guns are concerned. They rounds they shoot are massive, but self propelled, so you don't have the noise of a compressed explosion propelling something past the sound barrier. Instead you have the burn of a tiny thruster, maybe a boom if they're supersonic, and then an explosion when they land. Though real gyrojects weapons are also quite inaccurate, as well as some other issues, so it's fair to assume bolters wouldn't be exactly the same. Probably a good place to start for more realistic bolter sound design would be any game with a rapid fire missile launcher. That's essentially what a bolter is anyways.
@@Brandelwyn yeah Bolter rounds are some sort of hybrid of a regular cartridge and a gyrojet that allows them to keep accelerating after leaving the barrel. Gyrojets don't have shell casings that eject afterwards.
@@Chris-sm2uj "QUICK! We have to hide the Astartes animation behind a paywall on our relatively obscure website before any more people get into 40K!" "GROX MANURE! Bruva Alfabusa just released a new video!"
But are you in if that's the only attractive element of the game? Everything else seems pretty bland. There was no real mention of the overall story quality, so I can only assume it's pretty basic. For Necromunda to be made interesting it needs some good story and characters, or incredible gameplay, or some combination of those things at least at an above average level.
You have no clue how badly I want someone to hold me at gunpoint in a dark alley and bombard me with challenge questions about Warhammer trivia. I’d feel like that one Russian general from WW1 who spent his entire life planning on how to seize a very specific but particularly beefy part of the Ottoman Empire, and then actually got the chance to do it. “This is awful for everyone else but I feel great.”
“I’m aware there’s something wrong with my fridge too but that doesn’t mean I’ll go fix it” it is so gratifying to hear something like that, too often people take promises about games at face value.
I hope they actually look at this review and adjust things according to his criticisms in the future. I don't care if it comes in updates or even a DLC expansion, this game just has that much potential
This one definetly came out with more polish then Space Hulk Deathwing. Fixing the execution animations should be pree easy. Also idk what difficulty mando played on but for me unless you strip their reactive shields first you cant execute em.
@@stefani.5737 He said that it was a review copy so maybe they changed it shortly before release. Something like this should be quite easy to change too.
@@stefani.5737 There's a bionic upgrade that punches their shields off when you use takedown instead, so you then take them down the regular way right after. It just means pressing E twice but it's the same thing.
As someone with a creative writing degree..... it's not that it is expensive, more that everyone thinks they can do it. The number of times I've had STEM students tell me they can write then proven Dunning-Kruger works both ways is beyond my poor Art student's ability to count.
Tbh well written dialogue shouldnt be so difficult, compared to a good story. Its like good music, these days you dont need a great budget to do it right, just a talented guy. Or at least thats how it should be. The dunning Kruger thing sounds pretty correct. Also now I gotta think about how bad a lot of Hollywood movies are, and they certainly got the money...
@@Badartist888 it's also something that everyone thinks is a on/off; you either write good dialogue, or you don't. They don't realize that it's a process that takes a lot of time and involves doing a lot of work, occasionally spending hours tweaking individual lines I also have a degree in creative writing and the amount of times I've seen people say it's "easy" or "cheap" makes me wanna eat my pen sometimes
I hadn't been following Streum On since E.Y.E. so when you mentioned they did this game and Space Hulk it all made sense. E.Y.E. felt like a more insane, back-alley discount version of WH40K setting so I'm glad they actually got some licensed WH40K games made.
This studio is so into Warhammer lore that even their games look like they were made with imperial technology. They have this very strong feeling of "it works, but the guy that made it doesn't really know how it works".
The releasing the genestealer part had me laughing. "Actually that last one is not a good idea." Glad to see you had so much fun with the game, its certainly helped me gauge what kind of 40k game this is.
I like that the takedowns are a bit different from DOOM, but to manage it's strength they should give it some sort of resource cost, blend it in with the chainsaw's function from DOOM 2016 a bit. Some sort of stamina-esque meter that depletes and refills when either out of combat or when you shoot an enemy maybe, to encourage you to stay in the fight and glory kill important targets.
My problem with the takedowns is that the animations are too damn long. That might be a deliberate countermeasure to keep people from wanting to just spam them, but if your countermeasure is making them feel bad to do that suggests they should've just outright ripped off Doom to start with.
@@delivererofdarknessshoguno1133 that’s something that DOOM ETERNAL did amazingly. The most basic imp takedown is a quick 3 hit combo, but each hit has a solid sound behind it to still make it powerful, while one of the cyderdeamon takedowns has you spend five seconds stabbing your way up his chest to tear off his horns and part of his head, but you don’t care that the entire animation takes 7 whole seconds in a fast paused combat game, because you’re tearing a cyberdeamons head in half.
Glad to hear it's a blast to play. It's weird hearing the arsenal is so limited when E.Y.E. had an obscene amount of gear (and multiplayer too) shoved into it, but it looks like they've grown as a studio regardless. Here's hoping post-launch support fills in the gaps.
Mandalore videos are genuinely some of the highest quality reviews on RUclips. Great goofs, amazing editing and genuinely good insight into whether a game is "good" or "bad". Definitely deserves so much more credit and I'm surprised he channel hasn't hit 1million yet. Keep up the awesome work Mandalore.
Average non-40k-videogame Fan: "This game is terrible. 30 dollars?" 40k Gamer Fan: "Oh sweet child... 30 dollars is nothing... I'm just happy we're still getting games."
I certainly hope so. However, if we're not going to "Spayse!" It means we're going to some other game w/some Tim Curry, and that would be a welcome surprise :)
I'm biased toward Necromunda in general, but "summon terrifying cyber-mastiff with squeaky toy" would probably sell me on it even if I weren't a fan of the TT game.
bolters have always been weird for me, I mean.. lore-wise they're basically a gun that fires rocket-powered grenades, so they should be blowing everything up.
It's just an armor piercing, delayed fuse explosive charge. They use future-sounding words to describe it. Mass-reactive is just another term for explosives, kind of like how prometheum is anything flammable and radios are called vox casters. One would expect a gyro-jet shell to be caseless, but they're not. So, to me, this suggests a hybrid cased kicker with an internal gyro jet. I suppose it would allow them to make the guns smooth bore and retain rifle-like accuracy. We have similar ordinance in the real world in terms of function even if not form. Essentially, it's a 20mm cannon that looks like an assault rifle.
@@billrich9722 20mm caliber rounds are similarly sized and adjacently similar in concept, but the output disparity makes them incomparable. Bolters really are submachine guns with an 1800+ rpm and rifle accuracy that fire rocket-propelled armor piercing rounds with the explosive payload similar to that of a grenade, and the ones built for Astartes hold even more rounds and have an even higher rpm.
@@KaleidosXXI You fucking what? No, that's not submachinegun rates of fire. That's gatling gun rates of fire. I'm tempted to dismiss you outright but I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not.
A 20mm is a 20mm. Filling some of the round with rocket propellant only decreases the space left for a bursring charge. Bolters dont have 1800rpm firerate, maybe 180, but both are unimpressive. For example the zsu23-4 fires over 4000rpm. The vulcan can do up to 6k. What the bolter is, os a shitty man portable autocannon. A real world equivalent would be the Lahti, or the Solothurn S18 at rifles. Except it has less expllsive charge, worse accuracy, longer round flight time, and its ammo is guarunateed to go bad in a few years.
filling some of the round with rocket propellant absolutely does not decrease the space left for a bursting charge, you just... make the round larger. You dont need a casing or anything, so the ammunition is gonna take up less room. The velocity and fire rate is going to be worse than an autocannon, yeah... The weight is going to be much, much less though. Doesnt need a long barrel, doesnt need recoil compensation, doesnt need nearly as much reinforcement... Honestly, something like the bolter could easily exist for normal infantry in real life, it would just have to be a bit more like a automatic grenade launcher. @@egoalter1276
What really had me saying "ok these guys KNOW their 40k" was the "Goge is Terra" text on monitors, gives you a real good idea how deep down in the gutter you are and how ancient everything is
So it just occurred to me how weird it is to see dogs in 40k, which led me on a lore hunt, only to find out that dogs are still relatively common as pets in-universe, and even the Iron Snakes, an Ultrasmurfs successor chapter, actually uses war dogs in a scouting role. Now I wanna see war dogs beefed up with Space Marine-style genetic engineering.
Yeah, I was astounded to suddenly see it pop up on the GOG main page. I wondered if Darktide had secretly died and they repurposed all the assets or something, just FPS Necromunda outta nowhere!
I'm more than happy to give these developers my money just based on how well crafted this section of the Warhammer universe appears portrayed. That's a lot of effort to get things fairly accurate, and I feel like they more than did so.
its hilarious how horrible that skull stab is, its like he's dropping the knife into some warm butter. nothing satisfying or impactful which is sadly the best way to describe all of this games melee
The animations are the worst part of this game for sure. I have no idea how they made such amazing environments and weapon models but thought these animations were acceptable. The actual gameplay is amazing... but it's going to get shit on because there is some big jank.
@@habibihabibi7115 its weird because these juxtapositions making the game look worse then it should. all these nice environments also being filled with last gen looking enemies who animate so stiff especially all the larger enemies. It doesn't help that 40k is well known for its brutal melee fights but in this game its so flimsy and soft. Darktide already has better looking melee with hammers, big heavy knifes and powerswords
All of the animations look like complete shit, I don't know how they managed to have environments that looks this great, but they can't afford to get someone who knows more about animating than having read trough a single wikihow tutorial
@@joedatius Fatshark does have the benefit of years of making Vermintide look good in that regard. This companies' previous games were a bit more on the whiffle bat side of things if we're being honest.
@@Scharrez Its not only bad as compared with how how nice the environments look but also on a basic fundamental level, no concept of solid motion and visual feedback. Even in terms of a FPS it feels off, when the doomslayer rips the head off of some demon it has a quick and visually easy to see line of movement that snaps perfectly with the perspective of the camera but in this game the hands almost feel detached from the actual player and you get this weird feeling of uninvolvement
@@xzyno I think it's meant to be "You can't tell the difference, so don't question the Inquisitor or Commissar when he kills people you thought innocent!"
The answer is written upside down at the end of the poster. It says "Answer: BOTH of them. One for his TREACHEROUS THOUGHTS, and the other for FAILING to spot them, thereby enabling UNTOLD PERFIDY." I love Regimental Standard.
Finally, a fun looking WH game that isn't a damn strategy game. Hopefully a good RPG will come someday. Also glad the soundtrack isn't the typical Dawn of war Gregorian chanting since IMO mechanicus has the best WH ost. The parts mando played sounded fantastic.
Maybe Rogue Trader game. Mass Effect style since Rogue Traders can have Xeno companions. Necron Garrus and Ork Wrex. Maybe add Tech-priestess Tali and you have bestseller. Also Rogue Trader story so it doesn't need to affect Imperium in any way.
I only just realised that when you were talking about the cyber dog, you chose the nintendogs walking music. Walking your robo mastiff through a polluted, overpopulated and crime ridden mega factory would be the 40k equivalent to a walk along the street with a Labrador, come to think of it.
"...like a bar, church and armory combined into one. If you grew up in the American south, this is actually pretty normal...." Good lord Mandalore, sometimes that dry delivery has me rolling!
You and me both, these devs made _E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy_ which was, while messy, creative and action-packed. But later they also made _Space Hulk: Deathwing_ and never was so much potential squandered in a WH:40k game, the level design alone gave a glimpse into what could've been.
So from the review it seems to say the bones are looking good but it’s lacking a bit of meat to get super into Still EYE divine cybermancy part 2 looks pretty good
@@elperronimo It's not so much that they became popular at the same time, but rather both of their channel revolves around the same thing: video games review.
You can increase the rate of fire on some weapons but not to the degree of fuller auto. Weapons don't have secondary fire modes. The customization system is pretty basic, unfortunately, both for your guns, your dog and character.
Mando, dude you are by far one of my favorite creators. Your stuff is informative but doesn't ruin the game. You do an amazing job! Thank you for making these.
My biggest problem with the game is how it handles health/lives. Attrition is a pretty big factor in the game, and if you run out of revives the 'reload level' function takes away all of your loot but doesn't give you back any of your use items, making it very easy to get stuck once a hard encounter burns all of your resources and then asks you to try and do it again but *without any healing or grenades*
I remember getting through literally the whole Turok reboot exclusively with melee takedowns - you just pressed a button and killed whatever was in front of you. Was fun the first 20 times, then it got boring, sounds like a similar problem.
Very promising for them to let mandy do a pre-order review and highlight issues. Makes me think they are interested in improving things over time. Deathwatch was a nightmare on release but ended up being a very good buy.
I'm really glad it's looking like its going to succeed, we need a wave of decent well selling 40k games so that one day we might get a space marine shooter that isnt shit.
16:02 I just looked through all your videos, looking for this one clip. I was really beginning to think, that I was remembering wrong, that it could have been a clip from a other youtuber. I'm really happy to have found this clip ones more, since it mades me smile a lot. Polnareff: IGGY !!!!!!!!!
Honestly Streum-on has a ton of potential and it's nice to see them understanding what they're good at more and more. They've gotta do something about the jank though lmao
Played about 3 hours so far and I'm hooked! A surprisingly strong entry given the size of the studio. The soundtrack is a real highlight too. I hope more folks pick this up over time so they can make more games like this in the 40k universe.
5:47 the percussion gave me House of the Dying Sun vibes, then I realized Olivier Zuccaro did the OST for that game too. Which is funny cos that game has probably some of my favorite sound design ever.

But are you in if that's the only attractive element of the game? Everything else seems pretty bland. There was no real mention of the overall story quality, so I can only assume it's pretty basic. For Necromunda to be made interesting it needs some good story and characters, or incredible gameplay, or some combination of those things at least at an above average level.
"knowing about warhammer also doesn't add a lot"
true of all aspects of life. and i love warhammer lore.
The lore is just sooo deep that it doesn’t even build on itself. And that’s fitting for 40k.
I mean, it adds the crushing knowledge that everything you do down in the underhive is so insignificant, it might as well not have taken place.
You have no clue how badly I want someone to hold me at gunpoint in a dark alley and bombard me with challenge questions about Warhammer trivia. I’d feel like that one Russian general from WW1 who spent his entire life planning on how to seize a very specific but particularly beefy part of the Ottoman Empire, and then actually got the chance to do it. “This is awful for everyone else but I feel great.”

It’s apparent from playing many games like this that the two most expensive game developing processes are facial animation and well-written dialogue.
As someone with a creative writing degree..... it's not that it is expensive, more that everyone thinks they can do it. The number of times I've had STEM students tell me they can write then proven Dunning-Kruger works both ways is beyond my poor Art student's ability to count.

The dunning Kruger thing sounds pretty correct. Also now I gotta think about how bad a lot of Hollywood movies are, and they certainly got the money...
@@Badartist888 it's also something that everyone thinks is a on/off; you either write good dialogue, or you don't. They don't realize that it's a process that takes a lot of time and involves doing a lot of work, occasionally spending hours tweaking individual lines

This studio is so into Warhammer lore that even their games look like they were made with imperial technology.
They have this very strong feeling of "it works, but the guy that made it doesn't really know how it works".
The releasing the genestealer part had me laughing.

I like that the takedowns are a bit different from DOOM, but to manage it's strength they should give it some sort of resource cost, blend it in with the chainsaw's function from DOOM 2016 a bit. Some sort of stamina-esque meter that depletes and refills when either out of combat or when you shoot an enemy maybe, to encourage you to stay in the fight and glory kill important targets.
My problem with the takedowns is that the animations are too damn long. That might be a deliberate countermeasure to keep people from wanting to just spam them, but if your countermeasure is making them feel bad to do that suggests they should've just outright ripped off Doom to start with.
@@Eamil If I were to decide, make animations quick and short for comon enemies and longer for elites.
@@delivererofdarknessshoguno1133 that’s something that DOOM ETERNAL did amazingly. The most basic imp takedown is a quick 3 hit combo, but each hit has a solid sound behind it to still make it powerful, while one of the cyderdeamon takedowns has you spend five seconds stabbing your way up his chest to tear off his horns and part of his head, but you don’t care that the entire animation takes 7 whole seconds in a fast paused combat game, because you’re tearing a cyberdeamons head in half.

This is the first time he has reviewed a game on release!!!
No it's not, he reviewed a Total War Warhammer DLC just as it released. The Warden and the Paunch.
bolters have always been weird for me, I mean.. lore-wise they're basically a gun that fires rocket-powered grenades, so they should be blowing everything up.
It's just an armor piercing, delayed fuse explosive charge. They use future-sounding words to describe it. Mass-reactive is just another term for explosives, kind of like how prometheum is anything flammable and radios are called vox casters. One would expect a gyro-jet shell to be caseless, but they're not. So, to me, this suggests a hybrid cased kicker with an internal gyro jet. I suppose it would allow them to make the guns smooth bore and retain rifle-like accuracy.
We have similar ordinance in the real world in terms of function even if not form. Essentially, it's a 20mm cannon that looks like an assault rifle.
@@billrich9722 20mm caliber rounds are similarly sized and adjacently similar in concept, but the output disparity makes them incomparable. Bolters really are submachine guns with an 1800+ rpm and rifle accuracy that fire rocket-propelled armor piercing rounds with the explosive payload similar to that of a grenade, and the ones built for Astartes hold even more rounds and have an even higher rpm.
@@KaleidosXXI You fucking what?
No, that's not submachinegun rates of fire. That's gatling gun rates of fire.
I'm tempted to dismiss you outright but I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not.
A 20mm is a 20mm.
Filling some of the round with rocket propellant only decreases the space left for a bursring charge.
Bolters dont have 1800rpm firerate, maybe 180, but both are unimpressive.
For example the zsu23-4 fires over 4000rpm. The vulcan can do up to 6k.
What the bolter is, os a shitty man portable autocannon.
A real world equivalent would be the Lahti, or the Solothurn S18 at rifles. Except it has less expllsive charge, worse accuracy, longer round flight time, and its ammo is guarunateed to go bad in a few years.
filling some of the round with rocket propellant absolutely does not decrease the space left for a bursting charge, you just... make the round larger. You dont need a casing or anything, so the ammunition is gonna take up less room. The velocity and fire rate is going to be worse than an autocannon, yeah... The weight is going to be much, much less though. Doesnt need a long barrel, doesnt need recoil compensation, doesnt need nearly as much reinforcement... Honestly, something like the bolter could easily exist for normal infantry in real life, it would just have to be a bit more like a automatic grenade launcher. @@egoalter1276
What really had me saying "ok these guys KNOW their 40k" was the "Goge is Terra" text on monitors, gives you a real good idea how deep down in the gutter you are and how ancient everything is
Damn that's actually a cool detail.
The fact that the same studio that made E.Y.E. and Deathwing made this feels like the closest thing real life will ever have to a "true ending" moment
I'm glad setting my expectations on 'EYE Divine Cybermancy but with another decade of game experience' wasn't a far bar to miss.
The bolter is obviously a smaller version than what the astartes would use so yeah you wouldn't get that thunderous audio.
Funnily enough, the sound is inversely louder the bigger the gun is; Bolt pistol has the most *BLAM* while Heavy Bolter sounds so muffled.
The game has come a way since release, there's been a lot of improvements and changes such as melee kills have a cooldown now
Friend thanks 👍 I'm buying it
I was literally looking to know this, since the infinte kill button was kind of a deal breaker for me.
So it just occurred to me how weird it is to see dogs in 40k, which led me on a lore hunt, only to find out that dogs are still relatively common as pets in-universe, and even the Iron Snakes, an Ultrasmurfs successor chapter, actually uses war dogs in a scouting role. Now I wanna see war dogs beefed up with Space Marine-style genetic engineering.
Why am I only now hearing about this game?
What is the marketing department doing, I am normally flooded with warhammer games commercials.
Yeah, I was astounded to suddenly see it pop up on the GOG main page. I wondered if Darktide had secretly died and they repurposed all the assets or something, just FPS Necromunda outta nowhere!
Same when I saw the page for it on steam I thought it was a newly announced game not one that releases in a few hours
There was a ton of marketing over the past two months from Focus Home Interactive, but the algorithm must have not been recommending it enough
there was trailer and all you just missed them
"What is the marketing department doing" - they outsourced their marketing to Mandalore... and now every 40k fan knows about this game.
Shit, if you're gonna be influenced by anyone when making a soundtrack for a fast-paced shooter, it might as well be Mick Gordon!!
Definitely not a detractor
9:20: Yeah, in retrospect I don't know why unleashing genestealers seemed like a good idea.
I'm more than happy to give these developers my money just based on how well crafted this section of the Warhammer universe appears portrayed. That's a lot of effort to get things fairly accurate, and I feel like they more than did so.
its hilarious how horrible that skull stab is, its like he's dropping the knife into some warm butter. nothing satisfying or impactful which is sadly the best way to describe all of this games melee
The animations are the worst part of this game for sure.
I have no idea how they made such amazing environments and weapon models but thought these animations were acceptable.
The actual gameplay is amazing... but it's going to get shit on because there is some big jank.
@@habibihabibi7115 its weird because these juxtapositions making the game look worse then it should. all these nice environments also being filled with last gen looking enemies who animate so stiff especially all the larger enemies. It doesn't help that 40k is well known for its brutal melee fights but in this game its so flimsy and soft. Darktide already has better looking melee with hammers, big heavy knifes and powerswords
All of the animations look like complete shit, I don't know how they managed to have environments that looks this great, but they can't afford to get someone who knows more about animating than having read trough a single wikihow tutorial
@@joedatius Fatshark does have the benefit of years of making Vermintide look good in that regard. This companies' previous games were a bit more on the whiffle bat side of things if we're being honest.
@@Scharrez Its not only bad as compared with how how nice the environments look but also on a basic fundamental level, no concept of solid motion and visual feedback. Even in terms of a FPS it feels off, when the doomslayer rips the head off of some demon it has a quick and visually easy to see line of movement that snaps perfectly with the perspective of the camera but in this game the hands almost feel detached from the actual player and you get this weird feeling of uninvolvement
