The combat in Darktide feels weighty and intense, supported by immersive sound design. From the dramatic and satisfying Bolter, a massive gun firing rocket-propelled shells, to the responsive and versatile Lasgun, the weapons in Darktide offer distinct and tactile experiences, reminiscent of the weight and feel found in Doom Eternal.
By contrast, Redfall’s combat feels dull and uninspiring. Enemies possess excessive health, turning gunfights into monotonous affairs, while the responsiveness and satisfaction of gunfire are lacking. In terms of impactful weapons and combat, even the original Borderlands from 2009 surpasses Redfall.
