Ooooh I'm liking what I'm seeing. Look at the atmosphere, look at the hordes, look at the more frequent presence of groups of allies and larger scale encounters (the scarcity of which was one of my main complaints for the first game). Yes to everything.
Really excited for this! Never played the first one, but was a huge fan of Vermintide. Darktide felt like it kinda dropped the ball, so hoping this scratches a similar itch.
