Just played an hour of it, loving it so far. Super smooth and the impact of the guns feel great. Playing on hard has been no challenge thus far though, might put it on max difficulty.

Warhammer 40,000 video games are on a roll. It used to be that Warhammer 40,000 video games were hit and miss but now it looks like we're getting a lot of quality titles.

Hard gets hard after a while.
I started out on Normal and switched over to hard. Once the maps open up and the Chaos Space Marine Champions and Terminators, along with a ton of other baddies, start to show in open arena style purge segments, the game becomes quite challenging.

Just finished chapter 1 and yeah there were a few arenas that did end up giving me a good challenge.Hard gets hard after a while.

Game is great, love the speed and momentum. Targeting with the chainsaw attack in mid-air and charging through enemies feels so good.

I like it but sensitivity feels a bit off. Would be nice if I could alter the sensitivity on Y and X independantly.

You know what band this game made me think of that I haven't listened to in like over 10 years?
Bolt Thrower. I love this band.

Only thing that is really annoying is that you have to hold L3 to run (PS5).
I will look into the other controller presets.

You can set it to toggle instead in the options, I pretty much just toggle it on and leave it on

It did for me as well in the first few levels. I'm on level 7 or 8 now and it hasn't done that for a while.
Anyway, pretty damn great game. Probably my favourite out of all the recent retro shooters. Prodeus does some really inspired stuff but I always had a patience to only do two-three levels per day.

Really? I've searched the options menu for this but couldn't find it anywhere.

Just got home and looked. It's in the gameplay options, toggled it on. So the character will always run now? What I wanted though is press L3 to run and when I want to walk I just stop for a sec, like in other games. Still better than holding, also pretty sure it wasn't there when I booted the game up on release.

I wish it had the option too but it doesn't seem to be available, just the push to run, or the toggle on and off with L3
The only annoying thing with the toggle is if you leave it on it means your controller vibrates every time you take a step

Just beat it on hard. Had a lot of fun with it. Even more hyped for Space Marine 2 now.
Think I might start playing Dawn of War next actually. Boltgun kinda renewed my interest in the Warhammer 40k series.
Been meaning to get into it for awhile.

Sweet. I'll be grabbing that later.
Dawn of War is easily in the top five RTS games ever made, especially the Dark Crusade expansion.

Yeah the GOG release is all the expansions included. It's the Master Collection. It was released over a week ago and it was on sale for $9.95 but now it looks like it's closer to $40.

This game has so much items laying on the ground everywhere it's kinda silly and distracting.
It started strong, but the gameplay gets a little tiresome about midway in. The complete lack of feedback when you take damage can fuck you up. And the arena battles with spawning waves are kinda mediocre. It kills the pace and is a bit aggravating to have respawns over and over (Doom 2016 did those a LOT better, there's no comparison, in Boltgun it doesnt really work because the AI is very basic). I think they should've stuck with Doom 1 style level design instead.
Overall the game is fun for a while, the weapons are all great fun to use, but Im not sure I'll have the patience to finish it.

Oh I didn't know it had co-op lol. I'll probably play it solo first so I can take my time with the story and lore, etc.
Damn, looks like I missed a good price for that, plus being DRM free. I just picked up Dawn of War 1 & 2 together for under $10 on Steam the other day. Looks like I should get the expansions too?Good news. If you don't have Dawn of War yet, they just released it on GOG DRM free.

What happens when you die? Does it pull a Prodeus and completely trivialize the hardest difficulty by not resetting the world state and instead merely respawn you or does it actually provide a challenge and function like a normal boomer shooter should, in that regard?
I was a Prodeus backer myself so was extremely excited for it but ultimately came away disappointed because of that aspect.

No it resets the enemies but there are auto-save checkpoints and you can save scum. Generally it autosaves at the very start of bigger encounters.What happens when you die?

If you fall off a ledge or something during a fight, it respawns you close and takes like 20 health points.

Anyone else experiencing minor freezes on the Series X? It's like the game struggles to load the next portion of the level or something, because it always resumes after a bit. But it is annoying, especially if that happens when you're attacking someone.
By the way more games should have a taunt button with some awesome one-liners.
