fan of RPGs have been feed well since the beginning of 2024 . In fact , there have been more amazing game in this genre alone than most people could sensibly keep up with . As much as I bonk a deep RPG , even I have to admit I ’ve been feel alittle burnt out aftermy third or quaternary 100 - hour escapade . Before we get hit withUnicorn Overlord , climb of the Ronin , andDragon ’s Dogma 2this month alone , I felt the motive for something dissimilar to clean my roof of the mouth .
That ’s when I foundWarhammer 40,000 : Boltgun .

I knew aboutWarhammer 40 1000 : Boltgunfrom when it launch in May of last yr , but acertain Nintendo gamealso hit that calendar month that was my chief focal point . After that , I unfortunately allow the game slip off my radio detection and ranging until it reappeared on thismonth ’s Game Pass inclination . With just a bit of time between game , I thought it would be a low-toned - dedication game to smatter in before I was nurse into my next RPG .
I did n’t await to become a bloody-minded Ultramarine fully consecrate to sick Graia of all Chaos Forces .
Warhammer 40,000 : Boltgunknows what it is and does n’t pretend to be anything else . This is a boomer shooter — a biz in the style of the originalDoomandDuke Nukem — where your only goal is to mercilessly bump off anything that go as you navigate maze - corresponding level . While hurrying and brutality are the name of the plot , Boltgunstill feels meaty and heavy . Every step your devil dog takes sound like a 10 - ton machine and every bullet fired from the titular rifle kicks like a tank shell , and yet the rate at which you sprint and shoot spend a penny you feel like an unbeatable force of nature .
What I treasure most aboutBoltgunis how it so effortlessly urges you to keep go away . Every 2nd you ’re not occupy in combat , you ’re scanning the environment for your next objective . Everything from the sound pattern and weapon system feedback to every bit of pixelated gore that spurt from the unfortunate monster on the other goal of your weapon hold fighting as gripping as it is meet . The most you have to vex about is when your sprint cooldown is up , how many grenades you have , or what weapon you need to tack to . It ’s almost the icy opposite of the more strategic and methodical pace of the recent RPGs , which is on the dot what I require .
Unless you ’re adamantly opposed to first - person shooters as a whole , I ca n’t recommendBoltgunhighly enough . I went in expect a wide-eyed “ change by reversal your mentality off ” taw to kill some clip with , and in some ways that ’s exactly what I nonplus . This is a pure power fantasy game , but not shallow or low campaign . Whether you have Game Pass or not , do n’t skipBoltgunlike I did .
Warhammer 40,000 : Boltgunis available now on PlayStation 4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X / S , Nintendo Switch , and microcomputer , as well as through Xbox Game Pass as well .
