The Emperor protects! The original Space Marine game was one of the best Warhammer 40K games out there and I was always sad that we did not get to see a sequel. But The Emperor and the year of 2024 have blessed us finally with a worthy sequel to Captain Titus' story. And not only is it a worthy sequel, it might actually be the BEST Warhammer 40K game that has ever released and I don't say that lightly.
We follow Captain Titus who returns to serve under the banner of the Ultramarines. This time he is sent to multiple planets that are infested with the Tyranid swarm. But of course nothing is as it seems and a mysterious and dangerous power is lurking from the shadows and moving the pieces on the board. The fact that you are facing against Tyranids this time means a big change for the gameplay. In Space Marine 1 you were facing off against maybe a dozen Orks at a time, but this time you will fight hundreds of Tyranids each time. It feels more like a horde based action game as you are often tasked with defending a certain perimeter while holding off the unending swarm of enemies.
The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and it is magnificent to behold. Not only the character models themselves, but especially the vistas of the ever raging war are awesome. You get to fight besides the Cadian soldiers and you really feel that you are part of a bigger battle involving millions of troops. Most Warhammer 40K games do not manage to convey the epic scale of the battles, but Space Marine 2 does manage to donvey this and undoubtedly does it the best. I have never seen this much of a spectacle on the screen with swarms of Tyranids fighting against infantry, tanks and planes. It's glorious!
And even later on in the final chapters of the game there are some incredibly epic moments as you fight beside fan favorite types of units that get the blood pumping. This game is great for both newcomers of Warhammer 40K and also veterans who know all the lore. There is plenty of fan service and also calmer moments on the crew ships where you get to take in the atmosphere.
The game can also be played in co-op and overall Space Marine 2 is just the ultimate Warhammer 40K package. I hope the game will be a great success, because it showcases how epic and awesome Warhammer 40K games can be when they are done right. For the Emperor!!!
