Darktide's fine but unfinished, the review-bombing is just a tantrum from fancy little treat lads who are frothing mad that the devs got the holidays off instead of being chained to their desks until the treats are tasty enough, and who somehow manage to work in an unhinged rant about how it must be those devious celestials who are pulling all the strings and doing everything they can to stop fancy little treat lads from having a good time. Like it was unfortunate timing that the community started to meltdown while literally the entire company was shut down for several weeks, but I think it's mostly been a self-sustaining thing where people have just been psyching themselves up into a frenzy at a time when there literally could not be an answer.
The funniest ones are the ones who start crying and pointing at back4blood as an example of "tencent making everything they touch into a microtransaction hyper-monetized hell". Back4Blood doesn't have microtransactions or a cash shop, it just sold an annual pass with three expansions attached to it which one can play without owning it as long as you're playing with someone else who has it.
The performance issues are weird though. I have a pretty old rig and it runs perfectly fine with no issues, but then you've got people with high end shit from the past year or two just crashing and burning. Sometimes the servers just start melting down and the game breaks weirdly. The matchmaking is completely broken and the only way to match into a lobby is to keep canceling and requeuing until you get an instant match because it's like it just dumps you into an empty queue otherwise.
