Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a cooperative first-person shooter about survival in the world of a dystopian future. Events take place in the huge city of Tertium on the planet Atom Prime, which is trying to capture the heretical cult Admonition. The city is divided into districts, and quests lead to residential sectors, factories and dungeons where cultists and the infected have settled. The tasks begin with quiet forays, but gradually turn into the defense of entire neighborhoods, where it is important to maintain formation and retreat in time. Four heroes, together with the forces of the Inquisition, confront Chaos and a horde of the living dead, and the task comes down to holding the city and getting at least something valuable out of it. Each fighter chooses a class with its own skills and set of weapons. Levels and weapons are unlocked gradually, and equipment is collected from loot and mission rewards. Shooting is combined with close combat: crowds of enemies come in waves, and crowding and panic decide the outcome more often than accuracy. Special attention is paid to detail: weapons, armor and furnishings are designed in the spirit of dark Gothic futurism. The abilities of the classes complement each other: one holds a shield, the second burns out the crowd, the third pulls the wounded out of the thick of the battle. Missions are completed by four players, and the rewards go towards upgrading equipment and strengthening development branches. Updates have added new missions, classes and modes, and the community lives off modifications. Seasons and updates have brought new missions and enemies, as well as balance tweaks and amenities. For those who appreciate dark fantasy and strong co-op, this city promises plenty of reasons to explore.
