The Gamers Arms

Never thought this would get a follow up after all these years. The original was fun in a gleefully violent way.

HYPE!

A pleasant surprise. The first game was pretty entertaining.

Hope they get Mark Strong to do the voice acting again.

Looks glorious

Promising sounding preview from Eurogamer.

Damn, a pretty downbeat review from PCG:

Sounds like it's initially amazing but despite the campaign only lasting 8 hours it wears out its welcome long before the end, and the co-op mode is too half-baked to make up for it.

Eurogamer are a little more positive. They push the fact that it works best in co-op, which is the entire reason I'm planning to buy it.

Playing 40K: Darktide with Dave, Alex and Ian has made me really enjoy the setting. It's so delightfully over the top, and this looks to be more of the same. The only reason I'm holding off buying it on launch day is the fact that it apparently doesn't have ultrawide monitor support, which is supposedly coming in a patch later this month. I stopped believing in promises of patches years ago, so I'm holding off until it's actually available.

PCGamer seem like they are an outlier as most other of the main players are a lot more positive.

8/10
Bit more positive about it here as well. Might wait for a sale and see if they improve on it with updates.

I just bought it with some birthday money and it should allow access 4 days early - I think from 5pm today.

Should have a chance to try it out over the weekend.
