The game is very fun imo and especially with friends. (TL:DR at bottom)

HOWEVER

It is a buggy, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess. Spent more time waiting for servers to respond to even get into a game together. Once we're in we spend our time with 3fps fire while the rest of the game is fine (among every other effect besides simply running)

It's basically a 3-A priced indie game, with the functions of a F2P under constant DDoS attacks.
There's a lot of mechanics and assets from their older Van Helsing games, if you have played both you'll see the similiarities. Not saying it's a bad thing due to that, it's bad because it's a 50 euro game with assets/skeletons from a 20euro-ish game.

It is utterly and completely unplayable, if we're in 3 games in the same session, the fps gets funky as ♥♥♥♥ for no reason, even on really low settings. Like I said, 3 fps fire. When that's the only thing on screen.

Afaik the campaign and playing solo is fine, but as soon as you attempt MP/co-op you can expect most of the above, most of the time. It's like the black plague of bugs, this is an unfinished heap of trash. Which i'm sad to say because I like the game, which is why i'm annoyed, because I wanna play it but I literaly can't. Just had to alt+f4 because I was stuck on the bridge with sound but a black screen and a mouse pointer.

Besides this, black screens, sound bugs, no sound, fps drops, stutters, rubber banding, random things having lower fps than it's surroundings, wierd settings doing wierd things, disconnects, crashes, server wait-times, failing to join server, failing to enter missions are some of the other issues. Also using charge as assassin has thrown me off the map more times than I care to recollect.

Just a few things.

TL:DR:

Really fun game with promise, ruined by every bug imaginable making it completely unplayable (if you hate people this is the game for you, solo/campaign seems fine) in co-op/MP
