Currently cannot recommend this game. It repeats all of the mistakes of Vermintide 2, except now they are worse, and you pay more for even less.

To get the good out of the way:
-Satisfying gameplay loop
-Fun, true to lore weapons that all feel excellent to use (balance could be better)
-Fun and unique classes
-Good enemy variety
-An art direction extremely true to 40k
-Good soundtrack, high quality voice acting and good sound design

The bad:
-Predatory cosmetic shop, all the free cosmetics are intentionally worse to make you buy the premium stuff
-No direct payment, it abuses premium currency to charge far more for it's cosmetics than vermintide 2
-Extreme content drought, map segments are re-used constantly, only 4 classes on release and the weapons are NOT unique per class, with each class except ogryn only having 2 distinct choices
-Loot is far more randomised than Vermintide, meaning it's harder to optimise your gear
-Basic mechanics are missing, no crafting is present meaning it's pretty hard to get the things you really want
-No loot boxes from vermintide which is a plus, but the current system has pretty much the same issues, it's a stock of rolled weapons that refreshes every real-time HOUR, so good luck using the weapons you want when levelling a class
-Weapons you get early are completely useless later on, there's no way to upgrade their rating currently (this is a personal pet peeve not everyone will mind this)

Maybe in a year or so the game will be worth playing, but unless you're satisfied with playing the same game for several dozen hours, don't buy this right now.
