    I created an account just to rate this game. If you own an Xbox, do not buy this game. It will not register your controller so you can never get past the initial login screen. Absolute garbage.

    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

    Graphics are bad, story not well provided. Weapons looks ugly. AI is terrible. Enemy reaction on shoots like in a cheapest shooter from 2004. And this game overall looks like a old cheap shooter.

    The game is just plain bad. I didn't believe the reviews and wanted to try it anyway, managed to complete 3 missions before uninstalling.

    - Mouse control feels off, can't really describe it

    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

    It's like a worse version of Doom. It has glory kills, but you can perform them anytime. Therefore there is no need to even use guns. Just run to the nearest enemy and press E to win. Do that for few hours and that's the game. But through the game you also have to be a witness of some awful animations, blurry textures, clipping problems, AI failures and performance issues.

    I really don't know what a audience of those singleplayer loot shoters. Simply can not understand what a point to run same locations to trying to find some more virtual numbers on loot.

    Graphics is dicent but cmon locations' geometry is terrible. Just symetric boxes with corridors on both sides. If you finish a first mission you can say that you get whole game content.

    Also i'm not familiar with necromenda lore, so all dialoges and plot sudenly became poinles for me. Just don;t know what characters talking about. Boring. Not fun.    … Expand

    Old school FPS with decent graphichs. Story is generic with levels similar to each other without any uniqueness. I wouldn't recommend

    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.

    Despite his promising beginnings, impressive artistic direction and sincere good ideas, Necromunda Hired Gun proves to be an experience far too fragile on the rest to bring true playing pleasure.

    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]
