    Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is an amazing, epic ride through a glorious hellscape. Visceral combat is matched by stunning graphics to create a title that never relents in being as over the top as possible. It is one of my favorite titles of the year so far, and one I cannot wait to dive back into as post-launch content starts to stream in.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a spectacular achievement that gives Warhammer fans everything they could possibly have wanted when it comes to roleplaying their favourite chonky space boys. Saber's swarm tech is deployed to dazzling effect, and with purpose and context, too. This is the Tyranid swarm of your nightmares, and you've been given all the slick melee moves, sick finishers and great big shooty guns you'll need to stave it off. Think Gears of War with hundreds of enemies onscreen at once, with the cumbersome cover system removed and the speed dialled up and you're in the right place. And what a place to be, whether solo or with pals online, this is one of the best action games we've played in a long while.

    It may not be a perfect product due to its structure being too tied to the past in relation to the structure of its maps, but bear in mind that it is a product that 10 years ago was a typical action game, but now it is a strange specimen to admire, in a new era of video games in which the trend towards single-player titles is once again gaining relevance and starring in all the podiums of each year. I don't know if Space Marine 2 will win any awards this year at the GOTYs, but, excuse the expression, damn if it deserves it.

    I’m definitely eager to jump back in, maybe even tackle the game on harder difficulties, because I was filled with joy by the end, and a little bit of awe. The idea of galactic battles being fought by grunts has been realised with superb levels of detail. It’s not quite the game I hoped would tide me over until the next Gears of War, but it did enough to keep this Warhammer nerd very happy.

    There’s no denying that Space Marine 2 is a good time. If you’re an action game fan that enjoys a sci-fi setting, you’ll happily spend quite a few hours blasting and tearing through Tyranids. And what more could you really want?

    Brutal, action-packed and well-made sequel to a fan-favorite shooter with an elegantly uncomplicated game design and an entertaining co-op mode!

    Space Marine 2 doesn’t seek to reinvent the third-person shooter or hack-n-slash genres, but it’s a competent addition to both. That said, it’s a great game for Warhammer fans, and nails the feeling of being a Space Marine better than any other game. The combat is crunchy and satisfying, executions are beautifully brutal, and the thunder hammer is one of the best weapons in gaming. But issues with linear levels, ally AI, and the unknown future of multiplayer mar the experience a little. Warhammer fans will pick this up, everyone else is probably better off waiting for a sale.
