If you double dodge, the second+ dodge will be a roll. The first dodge is a dash.

No thanks. I want PvP off in its own space so it doesn't affect PvE balance at all.

If you liked the first one you'll like this one, and the campaign in this one gets better as it moves along with a pretty epic ending mission. Everything past that, in terms of what you'll be grinding, is pretty anemic. They appear to be planning on only adding 1 operation for the rest of the year, and only 1 more operation throughout 2025. Operations are the maps you'll be grinding to lvl up character(s), weapons and unlocking cosmetics. I have no regrets getting it for PS5 and PC as I know I'll be playing it with my nephews. If they weren't playing, and knowing what I know now, I'd wait for a sale or until they manage to add a lot more after campaign stuff.

I'm enjoying the game a lot. It captures the 40K vibe the best I can remember. At first I found the controls clunky but switching to controller on PC did help. The campaign is pretty short but that doesn't bother me - I'd rather short and good than long and bloated. Graphics are gorgeous and, surprisingly, the kill animations don't actually get old.
I like running the operations but they need to be balanced pretty badly. Some of them just take way too long and I've started selecting specific missions rather than Quickplay. My other concern is that the game does get pretty grindy pretty fast. If you're a fan like me, it isn't a problem. But I can imagine casual players enjoying the game for a few weeks before dipping out due to perceived lag of progress.
So far my favorite classes are Bulwark and Tactical. I think Assault needs a big improvement to be viable and I like having someone run a Heavy - I just don't like playing it.
Most totally epic moment for me was holding a staircase with my Banner out as Battle Brothers fell around me. I felt the blessed light of the Emperor and slaughtered every one of those xeno scum before raising my fist in victory. Also killed the Hive Tyrant with 1% health left and everyone dead - that was pretty cool.
Good game. 9/10 if you love 40K and 8/10 if you like games. 7/10 if you are poor and have to worry about pinching every penny.

Assault would be alright IF the timer on the Jet Pack was far shorter and if the Jet Pack Dash had a different timer.

I don't have many good things to say about Saber Interactive but I don't recall performance ever being an issue with WWZ. On the other hand at 4 years old the PS5 is not that long in the tooth yet, the PS4 was over 7 years old when the CP2077 debacle went down and my gut still says to blame the devs.

Its different and takes a bit of getting use to from other melee & shooty games.
Cut your teeth a little bit on easier difficulties before diving into the hard shit.

Veteran is no joke, feels like I'm wearing paper not ceramite. Can't imagine the hardest difficulty

Getting perfect parries is still something I struggle with, also you dont have to parry if you arent comfortable in parrying, you can dash/dodge out of shit.

I think I was at 10% health for the last half of the game running solo with bots. Executes were the only thing that kept me alive, lol.
Also, in Operations, going from the 2nd tier into the 3rd tier is a big spike due to your weapons being capped in the previous tier, so the first couple missions or so will feel really bad. You can't gain Weapon XP at all until you unlock the next tier either, which sucks ass.
Edit: Try to upgrade your melee weapon into a Fencing type if possible, larger Parry window.
