Is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 a worthy sequel? Read our review of the game to find out.
There’s something oddly addictive about splattering Tyranid guts with a chainsword and seeing how they explode into red mist when a bullet from a heavy bolter hits them – perhaps causing a massacre like that activates something primal in our brains. Wherever this satisfaction may be coming from,Disclaimer: Please be aware that this review will contain story spoilers for the campaign of the game, so read on at your own discretion.
You don't need to know what a Carnifex is to enjoy ripping it apart. / Saber Interactive / Focus Entertainment Speaking of which: Space Marine 2 gets across how special the Astartes are to the Guard. In areas like bases, the guardsmen will kneel and mutter prayers of thanks to the Emperor for sending you as you march by them.
The overall story is fairly typical for Warhammer: We begin by desperately trying to fend off a Tyranid invasion, but naturally one of the Chaos Gods is using this opportunity to advance their own machinations. Oh, and of course the Adeptus Mechanicus plays around with some ancient xenotech and creates a doomsday weapon that falls into enemy hands. You know, the usual.
Again, the scale of combat is one of the most impressive things about this game: You’ll see a horde of hundreds of Tyranids coming at you and think, ‘Oh, surely those are just background flavor,’ but no – each of those entities can be killed.
I don’t play a lot of shooters, but I would if they were like Space Marine 2 – I had an absolute blast. It’s too bad that it was over pretty quickly , at least as far as the pure single-player content is concerned.
