"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.ā Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine 2 (2024) represents a third-person hack-n-slash shooter game, developed by the company Saber Interactive and published by the company Focus Entertainment. The first instalment (2011) was developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. Pros & cons: ++ The campaign features the beginning of a Tyranid invasion, with all its horrors and endless tides of claws and teeth. Perfect setting for the grim dark future in which every melee execution results in a fountain of blood and guts. In the middle is our protagonist Demetrian Titus, who lets us see and experience the new story around him. That, dear reader, I consider the short-term motivation. ++ Now comes the long-term one, for the excellent integration of the cooperative modes allows us to play the campaign and secondary missions, called Operations, with up to two friends. Four difficulty levels in combination with six classes provide a broad spectrum of replayability. And for the brave, there is Eternal War mode, essentially a 6v6 PVP match that culminates in a battle between Space Marines and the Archenemy. o What happened to the weight of the power armour? Each step of several hundred kilos of high-quality ceramite should leave an impact, yet the game does not convey the sounds or weight of it in a credible way. Just look at WH40K Boltgun for reference. What about the precision of ranged weaponry? Every time I fire several bolter shots the spread leaves me in disbelief. Any guardsman would severely doubt the marksmanship of that drunken angel of death standing next to him. What about crippling a Tyranid warrior? Unfortunately, not possible. A more detailed hit box with additional dismembering options would have been a great addition. - Upon first launch of the game, an automatic installation of the Epic Online Services started. This constitues heresy of the highest order! The developers stated: āWe can assure you that this was only implemented to support optional cross-play between Steam and Epic players and to synchronize friend lists between the two stores.ā Whatever the case, I immediately deinstalled it and the game runs just fine. And so should you, brother. - A couple of bugs corrupted the holy binary code, e.g. floating items, delayed rendering of textures, clipping and collision issues. Saber Interactiveās tech priests have initiated counter protocols. The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all. -- I am shocked to witness the atrocities committed in front of my sacred codex. A simple Tyranid hormagaunt survives a bolter shot, and it takes a magazine to fell a warrior type. A fundamental misunderstanding of the technical background of the weapon. And I will not even start complaining about what they did to my dear melta and plasma weapons. Furthermore, there is a crippling imbalance between ranged and melee attacks, with the emphasis clearly on the latter. Just try to execute a warrior from 10 meters away, let me know how it went. The Inquisition has been informed of the devsā transgressions; their punishment will be servitude in a penal legion against the greenskins on Armageddon. Summary: The game nails the atmosphere of a Tyranid invasion, and the superb co-op gameplay allows for countless hours of playing the campaign with your battle brothers or prove your teamās tactical prowess in PVE and PVP sessions. On the other hand, it displays some blatant lore inaccuracies and focuses more on close combat than on firearms, which completely undermines my attempts to crowd control the waves of biomass with ranged weapons. The Codex Astartes does not support this action! Recommended for determined initiates and seasoned veterans, loyal to Roboute Guilliman, standing firm against the xenos filth in the darkest hours of the Imperium of Man.

This feels like playing one of those games that came out during the years 2005-2010 where each game had to have a campaign, co-op and pvp. It is almost unbelievable that we can still experience a good game in this day and age.

Never cared much about Warhammer until this game showed me the error of my ways and made me cast away the heresy and fully embrace the Emperor's glorious light. No longer do I wander in the shadow of ignorance, for Space Marine 2 has torn asunder the veil that clouded my mortal sight. With each righteous strike of the chainsword, I felt the will of the Emperor coursing through my veins. The xenos or the hereticānone can stand before the might of the Adeptus Astartes, and now I, too, feel the weight of that sacred duty upon my shoulders. Every battle is a prayer to His undying majesty, every victory a testament to the purity of the Emperor's cause. In this game, I learned what it truly means to be a warrior of the Imperium: to purge the unclean without hesitation, to stand unwavering in the face of annihilation, and to know that failure is not an option, for failure would mean the death of mankind itself. This is no mere entertainmentāthis is an initiation into the sacred brotherhood of those who fight for the survival of the Imperium. Space Marine 2 is not just a gameāit is a revelation, a holy writ in digital form, and a reminder that we must be ever vigilant, ever faithful, and ever ready to cleanse the galaxy of those who would defy the Emperor's will. Praise be to the God-Emperor! Burn the heretic, purge the unclean!

Listen brothers! I have waited more than 10 years for this game. And by the emperor it delivered...with some minor flaws. When the first trailer came out it hit most Space Marine fans as a huge surprise since nobody ever expected a sequel to finally arrive myself included, but oh boy we can be all thankful that it did because it's a blast! I will create a mini section for the 3 main parts of the game, which are the following: The story mode, the co-op operations and PvP. Let's start with the campaign: What is your craft? Death. It's a little bit on the shorter side but it's quite a ride. I try to remain spoiler free , so you can experience it for yourselves. The gameplay is a mix of the original space marine paired with the horde system with tyranids and it works wonder for this game. In the early game, depending on the difficulty you picked might feel slightly weak, but: 1) It's required for a healthy gameplay progression (By the middle, you'll feel a lot more potent with the gear you have, and at the end you'll be straight overpowered with a certain weapon combo), and don't forget that tyranids can rip through Astartes especially Warriors. There is also a surprise enemy later on, which most of you'll probably expect, but it managed to be something new, a faction we never seen in a 40K game before. A breath of fresh air, a welcome change, you'll see. I'd recommend taking it slow on the ship and taking in the ambience and mini events that happen between missions, they are 40K perfected. The devs clearly had passion and care about the source material. And the final level: You are going to love it if you like Warhammer. It starts on a high momentum and keeps going and going until the very end. The boardroom meeting about it must have been like: "How much hype do you want during the last 2 hours?" "Yes." So yeah, the story mode is roughly 7-8 hours long depending on the difficulty you pick, but it's a ride you'll remember. Brother i am pinned here! The coop mode. The bread and butter of the game for the devs, the mode they clearly have priority on and want to expand further during the first 4 seasons of the game. It's a mix of Darktide (With the fixed missions that can randomise) , WWZ with it's progression system and horde mechanics, and Space Marine with it's gameplay loop. Overally it's really solid and has longevity if you like that kind of stuff, you can upgrade your characters and wargear with branching paths, and it's really really fun especially with friends. There are only a few downsides as of writing this: 1) Class locks. Understandable but you can matchmake with a certain class selected and get dropped into a match in progress where you are forced to switch or quit. 2) No option to host a public lobby on your own. That's allegedly getting changed "soon". We'll see. 3) Balance. The balance is fine for the most part, there is only one black sheep , the assault class. It's rather weak, or simply doesn't have it's proper plance among the 6 mainline classes. It needs some slight love. Continuous , spontaneous deep strikes! The Pvp mode: Not much to say, it gives you vibes of a game that's from 2012...but that's a good thing. You have 3 modes, the classic domination mode, team deathmatch and king of the hill. The TTK (Time to kill) is fast as it should be, and the matches are really fast and fun. Balance seems fine for the most part, i'v played a lot of matches, unlocked some relic armors and never felt like anything needs a nerf. Of course it's early to tell, we have to wait until the community unlocks everything and some time passes, but so far it's solid. There is only one big negativity when it comes to pvp: The maps. Don't get me wrong, they are good but there are only 3 maps currently in the game. They are adding more later on, but you can't help but feel like there should have been at least a few more on release. A short summary for the end: š© Pros š„ Cons -An amazing campaign mode, which makes 40k come alive -That is slightly on the shorter side -A really fun, classic vibe PVP mode -That has little map variety -The graphics are really nice and works well with the art design -Technical issues on some systems, i had no problems -The coop mode is a blast especially with friends. -It's a long awaited sequel to Space Marine 1 and it delivers If you read through all that, i would like to thank you for taking your time to do so and have a nice day dear reader! Also thank you for Saber interactive for making such a banger of a sequel! The Emperor protects!

Finally, a solid game, with solid gameplay, various modes, and an a variety of customization options, without all the crappy microtransactions. This is my first Warhammer 40k game, I have no idea what's going on lore wise lol (for now) but i'm happy to be a part of this community!
