Standing in the dark corridor of a dirty dystopia, slashing your way through hordes of infected mutants with a chainsword, dissolving them in a fog of blood and maggots, while a zealous preacher calls upon the God-Emperor to protect them and the soundtrack underlines this with a religious mixture of choir singing and booming organ music, you can’t help but smile as a fan of Warhammer 40,000. It’s hard to imagine a better representation of the atmosphere of Games Workshop’s grimdark universe. These are the moments when Fatshark’s latest co-op shooter – Warhammer 40,000 Darktide – truly shines.
