Necromunda review

The game has a good soundtrack of rock songs like Doom 2016, which adds atmosphere to the shootouts. As for the spectacle of the murders, then the developers tried to accommodate more dismemberment and finishing. Enemy limbs fly off after being hit, be it head or hands, however, there is a small nuance with finishing moves. It consists in, that the animation is not so spectacular, as in the same Doom Eternal, she’s jerky and too fast, but nonetheless, diversity is present.

As for graphics, that, despite the indie genre, she is good enough for her level. The atmosphere of the gloomy Necromunda is well conveyed in detail. So-called “bulge”, the inherent Doom Eternal is missing and the special effects do not cause a feeling of shame.

As for system requirements, then the game is not demanding. On a weak GTX 1050 4GB and Intel Core i5 8300H produces stable 30 fps and higher on medium graphics settings and Full HD. The only problem, in not very good optimization, the game sometimes freezes and occasionally non-critical bugs fly out. However, Developers are already working on issues.
