I felt like Vermintide is getting rebuked a lot at the forum, and although a lot of remarks are well-deserved, it is good to remind ourselves from time to time the game is actually pretty good despite all that. So I tried creating a list of great things, that make Vermintide a good game.
-
Best 3D coop experience since L4D.
-
The styling is great. While the graphics is not perfect, the styling has a true Warhammer feeling. This one should be emphasized, because every aspect of styling fits, including, icons, sounds, enemies, characters, gear, visual tones and lots of different details, like clothing and ornametns.
-
The maps look very authentic and are all styled differently.
-
Special effects. Yes, they are not top notch, but still they don’t look artificial and help with immersion.
-
The music. The music really fits current actions.
-
Interesting plot and on-point narration.
-
All the characters feel different both gameplay wise and lore wise.
-
Enemy design. All the enemies feel different, even monks and savages. Bosses are cool and unique.
-
Smart gameplay mechanis, including tomes and grims. They are optional, they make the level harder as you progress and they promote cooperation.
-
Melee is very satisfying. You can feel all the hits, and the immersion is great.
-
Immersion. Everything mentioned above helps create a very deep immersion into the game.
