    Necromunda works as a shooter, but the competition is fierce, and it remains several steps behind the masters of the genre.

    Great shooter from the universe of Warhammer 40K. Dark, rough and with unfinished work. If you are looking to fill the time and you don´t mind a new crazy action, give it a chance. But there is still work to be done and things to improve.

    Necromunda: Hired Gun is a fantastic FPS set in the 40k universe. Doom Eternal influence is prominent throughout the game like in the gunplay, verticality, and mobility, but with a much lower budget – and that shows. However, Hired gun is a competent FPS that delivers on fast-paced shooting but is marred with technical problems.

    Is the Warhammer 40k world completely alien to you? It doesn’t matter. This is still a great, hectic shooter in which you’ll feel as if you’re dancing when you’re actually killing hordes of enemies. You just have to endure the stiff story opening.

    Necromunda: Hired Gun is a fast-paced FPS that makes the most of the Warhammer 40K license. The attention to even the smallest detail by the developers and the excellent level design are the setting for a dynamic and frenetic shooter. Unfortunately, just like Streum On Studio’s previous titles, this latest video game by the French team is plagued by a number of technical problems and issues in the AI department.

    Necromunda: Hired Gun has some jank and some odd qualities, but when tearing your way through hordes of cyborgs is this much fun, I don't really mind so much.

    Necromunda: Hired Gun is a very fun game. However, it is a minor experience within the catalog of first-person shooter titles. It lacks depth in many of its sections and under-uses some resources available to it, such as the mastiff. However, its artistic design in scenarios and enemy units attracts a lot of attention, and it is a pleasure to play it on PC with excellent performance thanks to NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0. It may be an option to consider although not as a priority.

Хейта не заслуживает, как и особых почестей, впрочем. По плюсам и минусам доложу кратко: стрельба приятная, на уровне думчанского, только прицеливаться можно со всех пушек; игра своим мувом похожа опять же на этернал (двигайся иначе сдохнешь) , только приспособлений для передвижения побольше: и крюк кошка, и по стенам можно бегать чуть ли не как в титанопаде; музончик не мик гордон, конечно, но все равно бодренький, отлично подходит для бодрого рубилова. Касательно построения уровней и их дизайна, сделано недурно, стилистика вархаммера заметна, игру не спутаешь с какой-нибудь раже 2, да и графон для игры категории С хорош. У пушек есть небольшая, но кастомизация, за счет чего появляться чуть-чуть вариативности и возможность пробовать одно и то же оружие в разных ролях. Теперь минусы: производительность: оптимизация не то что хромает, скорее ползет; сюжет не то, чтобы ваховский, нам не дают поиграть за какого-нибудь бравого астартес, или хотя бы инквизитора, ты - обычный наемник, который роется на дне мира-улья; баги вроде как есть, но я не встречал (хотя я и в кибербанке багов то не то, чтобы много встретил, видно удачливый в этом)
    Итого: игра неплоха для своего бюджета, видно старание разработчика, играть приятно. Настоящую оценку я бы поставил где то 65-70, однако хочу, чтобы у игры была зеленая циферка, потому 8.    … Full Review »

    While the combat is quite good and the world design and the look of the game are great, there are blatant levels of polish not applied here.While the combat is quite good and the world design and the look of the game are great, there are blatant levels of polish not applied here. As well as that the story isn't very good. I would say that I do recommend the game but maybe either wait for a sale or check if it has received any amount of patching.… Full Review »

    Well, NECROMUNDA: HIRED GUN is a better Cyberpunk game than the abysmal CYBERPUNK 2077. I also enjoyed the gunplay better than that of DOOM:Well, NECROMUNDA: HIRED GUN is a better Cyberpunk game than the abysmal CYBERPUNK 2077. I also enjoyed the gunplay better than that of DOOM: ETERNAL. I can't understand all the negative criticism this game is getting by the same outlets that praised CYBERPUNK 2077 & DOOM ETERNAL as the Second (and Third) Coming of Christ.

    The studio behind the superb SPACE HULK: DEATHWING once again nails the gritty Warhammer 40k atmosphere with amazing areas and - in my opinion - pretty damn good graphics. The detail of each level is amazing and brings the Warhammer universe to life. This is easily NECROMUNDA'S best aspect.
    Sound overall is pretty decent, with really good gun sounds. The voice however is just mediocre. The sound mixing however is poor: you need to manually adjust the sound, voice and music, as music and ambience sound are too loud.

    Where CYBERPUNK 2077 failed in its vertical level design, NECROMUNDA excels. Using height to your advantage is fun, and the action is fast-paced without the reliance on annoying weapon switching and glory kills of DOOM ETERNAL. You can wall run! Remember the feature they deleted from CYBERPUNK 2077? It's here!

    Repetition and several bugs however keep this game from being fantastic. Consider the medium price, however, and it is a much better buy than CYBERPUNK 2077 or DOOM ETERNAL for sure and easily a buy for any FPS fan.    … Full Review »
