To be clear, I still believe most first-person melee combat in games is rubbish.
Itmightwork for quick knife stabs.
A greatsword with integrated chainsaw, not so much.
The hardest kind to make fun!
Button gets pressed, heretics fall down.
Like pretty much every melee-focusedaction gamehas.
Except by slowing down your swings, Darktide is better than most at drawing out their rhythmic quality.
This turns out to be both the most gratifying way of melee-ing in Darktide, and the most effective.
Like a drummer whiffing a cymbal and clattering into a tom-tom by mistake.
It does pull other tricks to make itself a more enjoyable melee game.
I just had my eyes too deep in the Bolter sights to see it.
