Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 review
Exceptional
by Rogueh

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II is exceptional — the action game I've been craving for years. Saber Interactive nails the Warhammer 40K essence: brutal, over-the-top combat, massive battles, grimdark tone, and pure "For the Emperor!" energy. It's a AAA masterpiece that stands among 2024's best. Gameplay is pure adrenaline. You feel like an unstoppable demigod mowing down hordes with seamless gun + chainsword action. The parry/execution health regen forces aggressive, no-retreat play — exactly what a Space Marine should be. Co-op PvE with friends is insanely fun, with 6 classes to grind and upgrade for endless replayability. Visually stunning: gorgeous armors, grotesque Tyranids, explosive chaos — it looks and feels like a blockbuster. Sound design is godly — Bolter blasts, chainsword roars, alien shrieks hit hard. Titus' story is surprisingly gripping: redemption arc, brotherly bonds with squadmates, faithful lore that's newbie-friendly too. Tiny nitpicks: default PC controls put guns on mouse wheel (fix in 10s), and the ~8-hour campaign might feel short at full price — but co-op and PvP make it worth every penny. If you want intense action, dark epic sci-fi, or Warhammer vibes — buy this now. Gears of War and Helldivers 2 are solid, but Space Marine II is superior.
