If it goes the distance, Warhammer 40K: Darktide will get better with time. As it stands it's an enjoyable romp through an almost endearingly macabre world.

As the city falls, it's up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to defend against the overwhelming tide of darkness and strategize to survive. This co-op action shooter draws from the legacy of Vermintide 2's melee combat and introduces brutal WH40K gunplay, requiring mastery of both to survive the hordes of enemies.

Critic Reviews
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Review
Darktide is a game that has atmosphere seeping out of every orifice. Its design brings a crushingly depressing and oppressive aesthetic to life in new and exciting ways, transporting the player to the grimy underbelly of Tertium. The most shocking realisation is that you don’t want to leave.

Some occasional technical issues and an unwillingness to truly burst out of the norms for the genre keep Darktide from reaching enormous heights, but within the confines it sets for itself, this is about as good as it gets.
