    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.

    Игра хороша для своего бюджета. 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 вИгра хороша для своего бюджета. 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.    … Expand

Я не знаю, чего ждали все те люди, которые пишут про "проклятье Вархаммера", "по вахе не выходят хорошие игры" и т.д.? AAA+ проект? Ну-ну.

    Плюсы
    + Великолепные интерьеры локаций с большим вниманием к деталям. Авторы чётко следуют лору Некромунды
    + Для инди-игры вообще неплохая картинка. Кстати, в отличии от Doom Eternal, нет налёта мультяшности, когда демоны воспринимались полуигрушечными порой
    + Бодрое мочилово. Высокие скорости, в т.ч. за счёт крюка, бега по стенам и двойного прыжка. При этом в отличии от Doom Eternal, каких-то диких распрыжек, причём обязательных по сюжету, тут, слава Императору, нет.
    + В общем вполне достаточно стволов
    + Обширная кастомизация оружия
    + Определённое разнообразие миссий. Например, есть миссия на поезде Орлоков, есть оборона базы от толп врагов с медленным отступлением, есть полухоррорная экскурсия в купол, заражённый генокрадами и т.д.
    + В отличии от Doom Eternal, игра ДАЁТ возможность проводить добивания в ближнем бою, но не ЗАСТАВЛЯЕТ делать это постоянно.

    Минусы
    - Местами темп игры проседает, и надо какое-то время бегать по пустым коридорам.
    - Сюжет? Считайте, что его здесь особо нет. Впрочем, в подобные игры обычно играют не ради сюжета.
    - Побочные миссии как по мне не нужны
    - Не очень проработан баланс оружия. Например, тяжёлые стабберы легко уделывают плазму, т.к. у последней уж больно маленькие магазины.
    - Плохая оптимизация, в т.ч. на топовых видеокартах. Впрочем, лаги мне не сильно мешали на 1070GTX.

    Неоднозначности
    +- Саундтрек местами хороший, но часто бывает, что "провисает". Авторы не сделали полноценный динамический саундтрек. В итоге на экране порой мясо, а играет тухленький эмбиент.    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

    I give the game a 0 because- it is not even early access. I would call it maybe an early alpha on XBOX Series S. I have never seen something running this bad, and it doesnt even look nearly next gen. And i have played oblivion in the early days of the 360. I have never seen a game stutter like that and mix multiple graphical bugs into it. Srry, but this is so broken right now. Actually itI give the game a 0 because- it is not even early access.

Actually it is a disgrace that Microsoft does not grant refunds for this for pre-orders as this product is not working.

    You may think that i´m overexaggerating. Actually my Xbox name is CPT Specksuppe - funny i know- and i have 5 videos of the 1st level stuttering. See for yourself if you dont believe me.
    And no, this are not my hands shaking its the game. And i did not spent hours to take videos with most horrible performance, these were recorded in a half hour session split into two because i had to stop and fix a point at the wall to regulate my eyesight.
    I am not kidding. I wish there was anything else i could say about it.
    The videos are also findable if you just look for the hired gun club on xbox live. Feast your eyes.    … Expand

    First of all, NHG is an arena shooter; some may like it, some may not (I don't).

    While the game is very likeable, IMO, it has some very annoying flaws: - it's buggy: there are clipping issues; sometimes, the player inadvertly gets out of the level boundaries, and they will be unable to get back in, necessarily losing a life - occasional "find the exit" mechanics: in an action game,    First of all, NHG is an arena shooter; some may like it, some may not (I don't).

    While the game is very likeable, IMO, it has some very annoying flaws:

    - it's buggy: there are clipping issues; sometimes, the player inadvertly gets out of the level boundaries, and they will be unable to get back in, necessarily losing a life
    - occasional "find the exit" mechanics: in an action game, such mechanics are not appropriate; it's out of place to figure out silly puzzles about finding how to escape
    - side missions are somewhat miscalibrated; it's hard to finish them before some levelling up; and again, some "find the exit" objectives are very annoying
    - glory kills are too slow - they really break the flow - and they're also not very clear as in Doom
    - at times, it's unclear if the objective is to escape an arena or keep killing enemies (and in the first case, one ends up wasting time)
    - at least one boss in the first half of the game is a silly bullet-sponge enemy; it takes something like 15/20 minutes of almost continued shooting, to the point that it's not clear if there's some other objective that one should pursue.

    It's a big shame, because the world is fantastic IMO.    … Expand

    - unbalanced and boring bosses. I played on hard mode and it was not very difficult. but bosses who need more ammo than tou have are impossible for me.
    - sometimes it is difficult to understand where should you go
    - stupid side missions. I recommend to skip them

    It runs surprisingly bad, even with settings lowered by a good amount my FPS was not great with frequent dips and stutters.
    The way the guns fire and feel is pretty bad, maybe the main reason I couldn't bring myself to play any more.
    The levels / graphics look really ugly, a lot worse than how it's made to look in screenshots and such.
    Couldn't care less about the story / dialogue, sounded pretty bad but then again the gameplay may have tainted it :/    … Expand

    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 had every chance to become a sudden summer hit. Great gunplay, nice parkour, gory finishing moves. But it lacks one crucial thing: good enemies. As it is, they’re basically training dummies. [Issue#254, p.60]
