Nov. 2024

In September of 2024, the Unlocked & Loaded patch dropped for Darktide. This patch brought with it the long long awaited itemization and crafting rework. It included features such as a mastery system to unlock weapon blessings and the removal of locks when crafting weapons. All of which, were fantastic additions to the game. Having pre-ordered Darktide over 2 years ago in November of 2022, I have had the opportunity to experience how far the game has come. Unfortunately, this comes with the nagging realization of "Why did it take 2 years of development to get the game to a place that's worthwhile?" Many of the features that have since been added over the years, have been incessantly clamoured for by the community. Sometimes, modders would take matters into their own hands and create those very same quality of life features that are now a part of the core game. For instance, the now obsolete Contracts Overlay mod, released on 2023-04-27, would allow you to pull up your contract progress mid-mission. It only took Fatshark an entire year to include a similar functionality with the Path of Redemption update (2024-04-16). Something as simple as wanting to track the live progress of a grind during a mission, seems like a functionality that should have been included on release. In what scenario, would someone not want to know that they've performed enough Scab melee kills and can now focus on Dreg ranged kills? Perhaps there's someone out there who enjoys inefficiently exceeding targets for no additional rewards /s. Ultimately, there's a theme of basic quality of life features, that should've existed on release, being incorporated years later. Although some features, like NumericUI, are still awaiting an official Fatshark implementation (maybe in another 2 years?). It's all very disappointing and if it wasn't for modders, I would say that the gameplay experience would have been far worse off. If someone were to ask me, whether I would recommend vanilla Darktide. I would say "No." for most of the game's lifespan. Only now with the Unlocked & Loaded update and the recent closing of the [url=https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/1gjq0v5/the_book_of_grudges_is_closed/]Book of Grudges , do I feel like the game is worth recommending. But I can't lie, it's both a reluctant recommendation and a cautionary tale of the classic Fatshark development curse (it looks like the Vermintide veterans were right all along).

Oct. 2024

After two years, FINALLY Darktide is no longer in the shadow of Vermintide. At its core the game had great combat and gameplay but was plagued with terrible systems - not anymore. Fatshark released an update that made obtaining and upgrading weapons far easier and with little RNG. If there were a negative, it would be that optimisation could be better.

Sept. 2024

Darktide finally has everything that should have been in the game at launch two years ago. Fun with friends! Buy it when it's 60% off or better.

Sept. 2024

The problems of this game are outside of the actual gameplay, which is immaculate, and is definitely worth playing now that skill trees, itemization, and built in cosmetic unlocks have been fixed/improved.

July 2024

Repetitive, grindy, slow with updates. Perhaps not the best game to constantly play, absolute delight to come back to every so often. Absolutely adore the core gameplay feel.
