    Absolutely one of the worst games to be released on PS4. This game cost around 20 dollars and was a complete waste of money. I played this with a friend too to maximize our entertainment level but even then it was still extremely boring. We played it in 3 different difficulties and albeit it being quite challenging at times it was still pretty boring. This game just feels super dry to playAbsolutely one of the worst games to be released on PS4. This game cost around 20 dollars and was a complete waste of money. I played this with a friend too to maximize our entertainment level but even then it was still extremely boring. We played it in 3 different difficulties and albeit it being quite challenging at times it was still pretty boring. This game just feels super dry to play and awful. I can't even explain it. Just playing it ruins my mood.

    Pros and Cons:

    Pros:
    - Fun for the first 15 minutes.
    - Has cool customizations and economy system.
    - A decent amount of character selection.
    - Cool weapons armory.

    Cons:
    - Very boring, you find yourself doing the same thing over and over with repeated dialogue.
    - Swarms of enemies get so repetitive and tedious. Always a bunch of annoying rats that have boring death animations.
    - Although the game has a cool variety of weapons, the weapons are so dull. Hitting enemies just drop them. No cutting, no animation, barely blood and it's just repeated slashing. SO BORING.
    - Bosses are lame, we fought quite a few bosses and they are the only challenging thing, My problem though is that there should be more bosses. Two or three per map would be great.
    - Graphics are bad. On PS4 the graphics are pretty bad. I'm not one to complain about graphics cause I mainly care about gameplay but this is a pointer for the people who do care about graphics.
    - Controls feel slow and heavy. Turning left and right is very slow and then becomes fast after holding the joystick for a few seconds. Even with increased sensitivity it still feels sluggish.

    I can find a thousand bad things to say about this game but these are the main ones. I just hate this game so much. I wish I could get a refund.    … Expand

    Servers don’t work. Lack of communication from developer. Would not buy as you can’t play without logging in

    Great game! Too bad they waited this long to release it on ps4, if they had released the game at all platforms at the same time Fatshark would have ruled the world by now! The game really is that good.

    Absolute garbage, graphics are horrible even on ps5. You will be spamming the same attack and block non stop. No story. Lack of enemies. Lack Of Items. Level Design looks all the same. Horrible trophies. Worst game i have played so far.

    Мне игра очень понравилась, этото как Left 4 Dead, только в моей любимой вселенной, правда не такое большое разнообразие врагов, но в целом хорошо.

    The worst feeling is when you almost continued a Chaos Waste Run on a high difficulty and then an Error appears and you get NOTHING! Why isn´t there a feature which always allow reconnects, sometimes it does but sometimes you just waste 50 minutes or more for nothing.

    The game in general is not bad and i like Warhammer. It can be a lot of fun but the disconnects/crashes destroys it.

    Ever tried to find a decent co-op game on the PS4? Are you tired off looking at that Left 4 dead Xbox 360 Box-Art day in and day out? Then this is the game for you!

    Replayability check!
    Fun with friends? Check!

    I mean for 29.99$ You can't go wrong!

    This game is a lot of fun co-op. Much better than a few triple A games that claim to be a full co-op experience, then fall short. However, I wish they had made an actual 4 player co-op campaign.

However, I wish they had made an actual 4 player co-op campaign. With a story to absorb us into the wonderful world of the Warhammer universe. This game is just multiple map modes, where you go through the map, killing enemies, then move to the next map. Then go back and redo the same maps to grind out levels, with no story to keep you absorbed. But the gameplay is great.
    Due to the lack of story, it can get boring fairly quickly. It's awfully grindy, so that's another bad thing.

    One great thing, is the Twitch Stream mode. As I stream on Twitch.com/JesterTRT this is a great function that more games need!
    It allows the viewers to interact and change what we fight. This function needs more work, and needs to be edited slightly. More added to it. Such as setting up so streamers gain coins in stream by chatting. After obtaining so many coins, they can have a list of a dozen good, and a dozen bad. And they choose what happens by spending their coin. The more coins they earn, they can send a large boss. Or get a few coins and send a small horde. Or gain coins and send us a health pack.
    Overall, it's an awesome function, regardless.    … Expand

    this game is a loot box grind fest, every chest, has 3 terrible items, for every run
    It gets boring, hard, and repetitive quickly, the melee combat sucks
    Just play ranged, and at least skill based shots feel a bit more interesting Champion and above difficulties are extremely unfair, for terrible rewards. It feels like a slog, its amazing for what it is, but that loot box grind    this game is a loot box grind fest, every chest, has 3 terrible items, for every run

    The devs have great potential, but its just lacking in depth, and variety
    Left 4 dead 2 is way better, but its still fun, and i bought 3 ultimate editions to play with my brothers

    Requires D r M, so thats a huge negative, you always have to be onilne
    that kills the heart of the game. pass on it    … Expand

    Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a precious title who aims for a specific type of gamers, those who are ready to sacrifice everything in order to just have fun with their friends, and that fun factor is exactly the reason why you wouldn't care about the game's problems that much.

    With just 13 (visually interesting and welldesigned) levels, the long-term appeal lies in loot grinding; earning chests for better weapons and accessories, while levelling up each character individually. Otherwise, it’ll only last you about five hours. Bot AI and server activity can support this approach, though whether your tolerance for playing the same levels again and again can is another matter.

    An excellent coop game that mostly excels in coop only because the single player experience forces you to fall back on less than helpful AI. The engine overall is outdated a bit but the progression system, the challenging opponents and the great gameplay provide plenty of entertainment value. Recommended.
