Well done IGN, you actually complimented it on being difficult and trying to push the limits of teamwork. This game is hard, and not meant to be casually played, it's rare to see, and I'm glad to see that this team was able to make it work!
There’s a difference in this and other games like Alien Isolation. This is hard in a fun way, whereas other games are hard in an unfun, discouraging way.
@@eris4776 IGN and Gamespot both criticized Alien Isolation for being too hard, which made the game less fun. The reviewers had their opinions, and it resonates with some, but not all gamers. Some aren’t into the idea of mastering a tedious and difficult game.
@@thesequeltoobama7030 lots of gamers are not interested in grim dark grind fest game. The reviewer speaks for all gamers/consumers. Not just hardcore fans who like a very hard difficult to play video game
Great review! The way it was narrated by Ryan brings out the best about the game! Credits to Luke as well. Luke Reilly and Ryan McCaffrey are currently two great narrators of IGN.
This game is such a fantastic experience and concept. It's just hard to get people who want to work that hard together, it's a difficult game. I'm glad it's getting the spotlight it deserves.
Bought this game during the steam sale last week, and it is definitely punishing for new players to say the least. The match making hasn’t been very useful since 70% of the time players leave before readying up or don’t use a mic at all. That being said, using the discord has completely changed the game, the community is full of helpful experienced players that make the game an unbelievable experience.
@@slamdunklover3608 yeah, destiny compared to this one is a very simple teamwork affair. This requires way more. Not shitting on destiny but it's a walk in a park compared to this.
Agree, you really need a friends to play, and one of those friends needs to teach you guys how to play. That's the unfortunate part. It's not as easy as "get your friends together and play" You can't look up guides because the maps change, though the game doesn't change-part of what makes this game hard is knowing where to go. So you really need someone that knows what they are doing, and can navigate the team. For me, this game needed a LITTLE more action. The beginning levels felt to crawl for my taste. Ammo is ridiculously hard to find, and really your team can only really handle 1-2 alerts before completely running out of ammo.
I’d say it’s more like Rainbow Six than L4D. Don’t expect run and gun gameplay but in a select few sections involving extracting or rushing to shut off a alarm
There were a lot of carriers making calls to Sara and many times later, the call immediately noticed that the call had lost sound, the switchboard said: "We're experiencing very low call volume. If this is the number one operator, it may take longer to respond." All you have to do is wait until the problem is solved. For example, the redirect call to Ryan McCaffery, is the lowest call volume, so it can affect call performance. Once the problem is resolved, the call may work normally when you make a phone call.
...so this was a 7 min review about : THE GAME IS HARD. But can we get performance info? Platforms? Graphics? Bugs? Gun feels? Length of the game? There a lot of info missing...
Should re-review Vermintide 2 before Darktide’s release. Build some hype up, V2 has been significantly updated over the years turning it into a package with a massively generous amount of content and what is still the best first person melee combat out there. Its so much more than it was when it released, its easily my favorite game of all time. I’m absolutely praying Darktide improves on it, hoping a lot of people try it out
Four player difficult mission in a FPS where you have to sneak through dark waters to not alert something: “oh hey- this sounds like that raid in Desti-“ narrator: “it’s like a raid from World of Warcraft!”
IGN criticizes some games like Alien Isolation for being difficult because those games were bad, hard does not equal better or more challenging, it sometimes just means a game is unfun and grindy
@@0IIIIII Alien isolation was a great game. Idk if you were using that to defend them but they got made fun of heavily for there terrible review of that game
@@Mr.BonusHole yes, and people were wrong to get salty. The opinions were legitimate. A game that is just too punishingly hard is not fun. It’s bad design
The game has optional objectives which can be accessed optionally in game through security doors via bulk keys. These secondary objectives makes the overall level harder but it is optional. That is the unique difficulty choice system they have instead.
What an uncharacteristically well done review! Keep it up IGN!

This is still a misleading review. All of you guys talking about how great the game are only at A1 & 2 I garuntee that. This game is poorly balanced difficulty being hard for the sake of being hard. Having done a couple of D1-2 runs in various patches the devs make a visually nice looking game into a cheese meta high skill speedrunners dream. There is no way to 'immerse' yourself at the higher levels because its so absurd at that stage your so called holding door strats will not work simply by playing it tacticool and strategizing. This game is at most a 6/10 and most people here will play it for 2 weeks tops

Looks cool, but the most difficult part of the game for me would be acquiring friends.
Discord community is great. You'll have no issues to find ppl to play with.
Gotta Hit Me Like That huh
When comments hit harder than the game does
well thats just not true is it
Can confirm: the Discord has gotten me some great teams.
Please don't let anybody else review games except this guy. He knows his stuff.

Coop survival
this game is seriously addictive , lost hours to this game and the way they change it every couple of weeks keeps it feeling fresh.
It's about time they make a game that actually requires teamwork!
Have you played with randoms online? I'm surprised devs even bother making multiplayer games any more.
lol heard of a game called destiny?
Deep rock galactic

it's a decent spot just that they need to wait downstairs to shoot

We're experiencing very low call volume. If this is operator 1, it may take longer to respond.
Whose life is so easy that he/she wants hardship even in entertainment
the whole wisper thing happens in games like into the radius as well.
thanks for the 8/8 ign
The way Ryan annunciates sounds like Mikey Day from SNL.
Did he just praise it for being difficult? Don't think he's going to fit in well with the rest of the ign staff.

Because they don't want to appeal to that

Lol finally for the uneducated. Vermintide 2
Checkpoint save is soooo needed. Especially after teams complete secondary objectives…
There are checkpoint saves but like only 1 or 2 per level
10/10
make u FEEL like you are onizuka from GTO.

Hopefully it’s successful enough to come to consoles
We need this on the ps5

naruto running zombies. this is peak gaming
Remember when this was revealed years ago through Microsoft?
Been playing since day 1 it's a fun game for sure.

Discord community is awesome. You can make new ones there.
The bots have become my friends 🙂
All of that, just to give it an 8?
Anyone know the name of the song/music that's playing in the first 2 minutes of the video?
why arent there more people playing this game...
there are plenty check steam
it's not casual friendly, you need to git gud to enjoy it
