In my library full of Warhammer games, I have been saddened by the middling nature of many of them. Boltgun was a very nice surprise and is very well worth your purchase. Just the fact that it launched with few significant issues in an era where 70-dollar games launch as bug-riddled messes is worthy of applause. This is particularly true considering the price; imagine a game launching in 2023 at 30 dollars and being playable from day 1. Well done ~
Boltgun has many merits. The gameplay is solid, and while it does get repetitive, I did like how the weapons are represented and how true to the lore the enemies and other elements were represented. Finding all the secrets was enjoyable as well, and it can add replayability if you want to 100% the game. I like the taunts and how Boltgun ties into the original Space Marine game as well. Overall, an excellent experience for its price point.
All the praise aside, I would have liked to see more boss and enemy types. Killing a Great Unclean One or Lord of Change for the 20th time represents a missed opportunity. I do hope we can get some DLC to add more campaigns. A couple of the levels seemed very poorly designed. I was not too fond of mission one in chapter two, for instance, as it was very confusing to get my bearings. I also try to get one dollar for every hour of play in games I buy. 100%ing this game took me a little over 7 hours; I would recommend Boltgun to anybody but know you are in for a fun but short time if you play on the hardest difficulty at the start like I did.
In conclusion, this game is excellent for 40k fans, FPS fans or casual gamers. I truly appreciate how much the developers clearly love the 40 universe, and it shows through the attention to detail in the setting. I think more DLCs would help, and I would buy them immediately. Some campaigns fighting against the other Chaos gods would be welcome in particular. Boltgun is a solid 8/10 for anybody who enjoys games of its genre.
