    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.

    7/10 Игра нормальная, но сильно недопилена. Хорошой игры по вархаммеру не получилось. Опять : /

    Very poorly doom-like shooter game (like its from 2009`s) That`s, all..., I only installed because of Warhammer40k, if u want to play it because of story play it on easy or watch a yt.

    I give it a 5 because, it looks nice, congrats to designers who made the world pretty epic.

    Context:
    Does the all mechanics like latest doom but just not polished version, i played on hard, gameplay is clunky, mobs are spawning and re-spawning on random places even behind u, and just boop and its there and u are dead, meta game i did is just dodge to them, and melee kill (because its insta kill), ignored all stuff and just rushed, because mobs are endlessly spawning and u just lose patience. Yea there are talents and guns, and different types sure but no point, really.    … 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 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.    … Expand

    + level art style and setting
    + gun play
    + music
    - 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

    Good action shooter taking place in dark land. Great soundtrack, but poor eq management.

    Nettes. Spiel es hat echt viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr davon! Nicht zu lang, nicht zu kurz. Genau richtig.

    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]
