Reviews
I never played the first Space Marine or any Warhammer game, but that doesn’t stop you from enjoying this one.
Chainsword go brrr, Bolter go boom. The Tyranids? They never stood a chance and they never learn.
For the Emperor!
In His name, we bring righteous fury.
Only in death does duty end.
Faith is my shield, wrath is my sword.
What have you devs done to me, I was safe! I knew nothing about 40k and had no desire to know anything. Tried this game on a whim and not only do I absolutely love it but I’m reading the 40k wiki pages (both of them) and watching videos too. This addiction is all Saber Interactive’s fault!!!
Seriously though, the game is amazing. Beautiful graphics. Good character customization. Good story. Good lore. Fun gameplay. Good job saber!
One of the best games I’ve played this year! Space Marines 2 reminds me a lot of the way I felt the first time I played Gears of Wars. Pure joy! This game is fun, gory, entertaining and beautiful. I am the target audience for this kind of game and I am here for all of it.
The game play is solid, the voice acting is top notch, and the graphics are stunning. This game has full PS5 DualSense support. Haptic feedback and haptic triggers makes an already great game 100 times even better.
I have no background in the Warhammer 40k or Warhammer universes in general, but this was a fantastic campaign, very fun and I was invested in Titus and the rest of the cast of characters’ stories. I am interested in learning more about the 40k lore because of the game. I can’t wait to get into the other game modes and replay missions with friends! Very much recommended.
