This game deserves the response it got.

It's pretty impressive when every single aspect of your new IP is a significant downgrade from the previous VT 2. Out goes the class, environmental and objective variety; in comes the shameless cash grab shop with copypasta'd brain dead missions that feel like you asked chatGBT to design them.

What the hell happened? I haven't done an objective that's not just pop the buboes in the metal corridor or hack the terminal in the metal corridor.

Hey at least your horrendously monotonous environments are brightened up by the wholesome marvel/suicide squad/reddit-vibe voice acting & writing. Very few of the characters (both lead & player) sound nor say anything believable for the setting this is supposed to be taking place in. Most deliveries ricochet between a very 21st century sassy/ironic/Avengers 'haha isn't it funny how I'm not taking this dire situation seriously' tone and cringe-inducing OTT wailing. Whatever atmosphere that you could've built using 409 thousand identical metal corridors is shattered by the fact nobody ever shuts the hell up. Please add a limit/eliminate voices toggle (you know like the you did in that good game you made ages ago) so I can stop listening to the awful characters on the morningstar talk to the awful characters on the strike team. I don't want to hear some French lady with a beautiful voice quipping with some Scottish lady about the African Lady Pilot for the 900th time with the MS boss lady chiming in as half the team is getting mauled to death, it just reminds me how childish and inoffensively bland this game is - Though I should've guessed it would be like this based on the bait-and-switch trailers you did.

I'll probably come back in a year after you manage to put in half the content vermintide 2 had at launch.
