PC Gamer gave Space Marines 2 a 60/100 but gave Gollum a 64/100 and Concord nothing but praise.

9/10 but can NOT recommend.
This trend of corporatocracy needs to stop. I shouldnt need 3 accounts (steam, epic, saber) with 6 EULAs (steam account, epic account, saber account, in-game EULA, steam purchase EULA, epic service EULA, and maybe more that I forgot) just to have my consumer rights degraded. Forced arbitration, not actually owning the media you buy, and having to run what surmounts to spyware even for single player, battlepasses and predatory monetization everywhere. None of this should be normalized. This game is fun but I can not recommend this game to my friends as I am tired of supporting this regime of predation. And before any commenters say this is hyperbolic or developer PR adds the technical excuses, just remember, games were fun and sold well for the last few decades without all this BS. We live in a golden age of media yet insist on tarnishing it. P.S. An extra $30 and I still have to grind just to paint my guy purple?! No, thanks. Yes, I know you can run without EGS, but it still installs EGS dependencies. Yes, I know EULAs have existed for a long time, but I still think modern EULAs are predatory. Its amazing how many of you take my opinion so personally and dont understand subtext.211 votes funny

This game is great but why do we need to kill so much?
Why can we not reason with these creatures or heretics?
If you found yourself agreeing with these questions, there is a taint in your heart and you have been seen by his glorious gaze and marked a traitor to mankind.
The goal for any true servents of the Emperor who dream of joining the ranks of his angels is simple.
Kill until Killed.

In short; requires users to sign the Epic Games Store EULA to actually play the game.
This was not mentioned on the store page, even though they are required to declare it.
The EGS EULA waivers all of your rights to sue Epic.

Never cared much about Warhammer until this game showed me the error of my ways and made me cast away the heresy and fully embrace the Emperor's glorious light. No longer do I wander in the shadow of ignorance, for Space Marine 2 has torn asunder the veil that clouded my mortal sight.
With each righteous strike of the chainsword, I felt the will of the Emperor coursing through my veins. The xenos or the heretic—none can stand before the might of the Adeptus Astartes, and now I, too, feel the weight of that sacred duty upon my shoulders. Every battle is a prayer to His undying majesty, every victory a testament to the purity of the Emperor's cause.
In this game, I learned what it truly means to be a warrior of the Imperium: to purge the unclean without hesitation, to stand unwavering in the face of annihilation, and to know that failure is not an option, for failure would mean the death of mankind itself. This is no mere entertainment—this is an initiation into the sacred brotherhood of those who fight for the survival of the Imperium.
Space Marine 2 is not just a game—it is a revelation, a holy writ in digital form, and a reminder that we must be ever vigilant, ever faithful, and ever ready to cleanse the galaxy of those who would defy the Emperor's will.
Praise be to the God-Emperor! Burn the heretic, purge the unclean!

I don't really want to leave a negative review, the game really is good. But as a solo player going through the campaign on the recommended (albeit second hardest) difficulty, this game feels absolutely terrible to play. You have the two worst AI squad mates I have ever had the displeasure to call battle brothers, with the most useless and unforgiving "armor" system imaginable. Is it playable? Absolutely. Is it gratifying in difficulty to carry the bots through every mission while they exist only to throw some mostly ineffective bullets around and revive you (which will occur often)? No.
I do not even feel good getting better at the game sometimes, because it feels like I am competing against the actual combat system more than the enemies. So much of this game is made to be a flowing combat experience of dodging, slashing, and parrying, but often it just isn't. You get stuck in animations. You get notifiers of enemy attacks only like 1/3rd of the time. You get rewarded for parrying and playing it slow, but that just isn't effective when you're also getting swarmed by mooks that CHEW through you if you aren't constantly swinging, which paired with the aforementioned stuck in animations makes you take SO much unnecessary damage. Damage you barely heal from without wasting your ultimate with a lengthy cooldown, or frivolously utilizing the very scant med packs.
Rant aside, the game is genuinely good when it's good and when playing with actual people it's even better. Which is lucky considering the PvE and PvP are the main long term focus of the game. But as a solo player just enjoying the story at present, it is one of the worst experiences I have had playing a campaign.

First of all, how is it possible that a AAA game released in 2024 doesn't include DLSS 3, FSR 3, and frame generation? This is absolutely unacceptable. I'm running a 5800X CPU and 4090 GPU, and at 1440p with max settings, I'm getting around 80-100 FPS. However, what I don't understand is that even if I lower the settings to minimum, reduce the render scale to the lowest, and drop from 1440p to 1080p, the game still gives the same 80-100 FPS. It seems like this game was released with numerous technical issues, and I can't recommend it in its current state. Hopefully, they will quickly resolve these performance problems.

Terrible patch. Not thought out. They claim the game is "too easy" and their solution is to nerf the players. If only there was some kind of... swarm engine that was capable of spawning thousands of enemies at a time that they could use to deliver the horde fantasy that was promised.
Just so everyone is clear, only 15% of the player base has even completed a single tier 4 mission. They made these nerfs knowing this AND releasing 5th tier of difficulty at the same time. Pre-launch the company promised to release patch notes before they went live to receive feedback and they haven't done this a single time. This is what happens when you are out of touch with your player base.
Make marines not paper, make enemies not bullet sponges, make difficulty sliders more enemies and not enemy hp / damage. Buff the 90% of weapons that are unusably bad. Remove the "coherencey" change. Un-nerf player armor. Buff useless class perks, buff useless weapon perks.

"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.”
Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine 2 (2024) represents a third-person hack-n-slash shooter game, developed by the company Saber Interactive and published by the company Focus Entertainment. The first instalment (2011) was developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. Pros & cons: ++ The campaign features the beginning of a Tyranid invasion, with all its horrors and endless tides of claws and teeth. Perfect setting for the grim dark future in which every melee execution results in a fountain of blood and guts. In the middle is our protagonist Demetrian Titus, who lets us see and experience the new story around him. That, dear reader, I consider the short-term motivation. ++ Now comes the long-term one, for the excellent integration of the cooperative modes allows us to play the campaign and secondary missions, called Operations, with up to two friends. Four difficulty levels in combination with six classes provide a broad spectrum of replayability. And for the brave, there is Eternal War mode, essentially a 6v6 PVP match that culminates in a battle between Space Marines and the Archenemy. o What happened to the weight of the power armour? Each step of several hundred kilos of high-quality ceramite should leave an impact, yet the game does not convey the sounds or weight of it in a credible way. Just look at WH40K Boltgun for reference. What about the precision of ranged weaponry? Every time I fire several bolter shots the spread leaves me in disbelief. Any guardsman would severely doubt the marksmanship of that drunken angel of death standing next to him. What about crippling a Tyranid warrior? Unfortunately, not possible. A more detailed hit box with additional dismembering options would have been a great addition. - Upon first launch of the game, an automatic installation of the Epic Online Services started. This constitues heresy of the highest order! The developers stated: „We can assure you that this was only implemented to support optional cross-play between Steam and Epic players and to synchronize friend lists between the two stores.“ Whatever the case, I immediately deinstalled it and the game runs just fine. And so should you, brother. - A couple of bugs corrupted the holy binary code, e.g. floating items, delayed rendering of textures, clipping and collision issues. Saber Interactive’s tech priests have initiated counter protocols. The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all. -- I am shocked to witness the atrocities committed in front of my sacred codex. A simple Tyranid hormagaunt survives a bolter shot, and it takes a magazine to fell a warrior type. A fundamental misunderstanding of the technical background of the weapon. And I will not even start complaining about what they did to my dear melta and plasma weapons. Furthermore, there is a crippling imbalance between ranged and melee attacks, with the emphasis clearly on the latter. Just try to execute a warrior from 10 meters away, let me know how it went. The Inquisition has been informed of the devs’ transgressions; their punishment will be servitude in a penal legion against the greenskins on Armageddon. Summary: The game nails the atmosphere of a Tyranid invasion, and the superb co-op gameplay allows for countless hours of playing the campaign with your battle brothers or prove your team’s tactical prowess in PVE and PVP sessions. On the other hand, it displays some blatant lore inaccuracies and focuses more on close combat than on firearms, which completely undermines my attempts to crowd control the waves of biomass with ranged weapons. The Codex Astartes does not support this action! Recommended for determined initiates and seasoned veterans, loyal to Roboute Guilliman, standing firm against the xenos filth in the darkest hours of the Imperium of Man.

The game is fun. But it's not $70 fun. The campaign is a 1 and done. There is no unlocks, there is no new game +, no experience or anything. Operations are a treat but there's only 6 of them and to unlock every piece of gear on a single class, you need to successfully complete like 30 missions. For a single class. And there are 6. You will be seeing the same environments and the same encounters a LOT if you want them all. Or you can play PvP. While PvP is balanced, there are 3 game modes and 3 maps. That's it. You will be seeing the same enviornments and the same encounters a -LOT-. As it stands, at launch, this game is not worth $70. Wait for a sale or for DLC to come out. Do not buy at full price during the launch week.
edit: a lot of y'all are thinking this review means I think it's a bad game. I don't. Steam's review is only recommend or don't recommend. As the game is right now, at full price, I do not recommend the game. I am fully aware there is more content down the line, but that doesn't take away from how the game launched. If I thought this was a bad game, I would've said it's a bad game. I think it's a good game that's overpriced and lacking in content.

Very tough decision for me to give this a not recommended review, but I think there are some glaring issues that should be addressed.
First off, the pros:
1. It looks great. Starting from the bigger things. The game is set on three very different and distinct planets: Kadaku, a jungle world, Avarax, a hive world and Demerium, a cemetery world. Each of the planets have their very own distinct style and feel to it. Then down to the smaller details. There are a lot of details in the game that also breath life into the game and adds to the whole WH40K experience. Bravo.
2. The gameplay is great. If you enjoyed the first space marine game, odds are, you will enjoy this one as well. The melee and shooting all feel very satisfying. Popping off a headshot or pulling off a finisher all feel very satisfying.
3. The story is pretty good. I mean, Warhammer games are not always known for having interesting stories, especially also considering this game is supposed to be a hack and slash kinda brainless fun game. All in all, I enjoyed the story thus far. Additional points go to the fact that the coop missions are also parallel to the main missions.
Next, onto the cons:
1. The story is a bit short for its price. There are 7 main story missions (8 if you count prologue) and 5 coop missions that will help flesh out the main story missions (6 if you count Ballistic engine, which isn't really mentioned anywhere in the main missions). I did the game on Angels of Death difficulty and it should take about 15 hours to complete. If you count the coop missions in, it should take about 25-30 hours in total if you wanna enjoy the whole story at least once. Slightly on the short side for the price they are charging.
2. It can be a real grindfest. Tying into the last point. What it does not have in length, it makes up for the sheer amount of grind you will need to do. To unlock all the armor sets for each class, you need to play 35 matches per class, with a total of 210 matches. Assuming you don't do PvP like I do, let's assume each match takes 30 minutes (I think that's the bare minimum unless you do speedrun), and you win every single match. That is like 100+ hours right there that requires you to grind. Now, I'm not against having a lot of coop time to pad out the game time, but since there are only six maps, things can get stale real soon. I hate doing comparisons, but If you compare it with games like Vermintide 2. Vermintide 2 had 13 missions in total when it first launched, which will ensure a relatively healthy mix of varied missions. Here's hoping the devs would add in more coop missions down the line.
3. Twitch drops. Really? I mean, all the clown awards that went into the announcement post should be telling. It is one thing to do exclusive twitch drops that requires you to watch it (since you can just leave it in the background), it is altogether another to require people subbing and giving out subscriptions. This is toxic.
All in all, I enjoyed the game itself, but I really do not enjoy some of the other decisions the devs made for the game.

The goal for any true servents of the Emperor who dream of joining the ranks of his angels is simple.
Kill until Killed.
And to the traitors i spoke to before. Report to the lower decks and become Bio Paste.

After the scene with holding the banner, I’ve had an erection that has lasted more than 8 hours. Should I seek medical help immediately, or can I finish a few more missions first?
I’ve already tried reading the Codex, but it only makes things worse.
Game is 10/10 Other then that one problem

Never cared much about Warhammer until this game showed me the error of my ways and made me cast away the heresy and fully embrace the Emperor's glorious light. No longer do I wander in the shadow of ignorance, for Space Marine 2 has torn asunder the veil that clouded my mortal sight.
With each righteous strike of the chainsword, I felt the will of the Emperor coursing through my veins. The xenos or the heretic—none can stand before the might of the Adeptus Astartes, and now I, too, feel the weight of that sacred duty upon my shoulders. Every battle is a prayer to His undying majesty, every victory a testament to the purity of the Emperor's cause.
In this game, I learned what it truly means to be a warrior of the Imperium: to purge the unclean without hesitation, to stand unwavering in the face of annihilation, and to know that failure is not an option, for failure would mean the death of mankind itself. This is no mere entertainment—this is an initiation into the sacred brotherhood of those who fight for the survival of the Imperium.
Space Marine 2 is not just a game—it is a revelation, a holy writ in digital form, and a reminder that we must be ever vigilant, ever faithful, and ever ready to cleanse the galaxy of those who would defy the Emperor's will.
Praise be to the God-Emperor! Burn the heretic, purge the unclean!

I don't really want to leave a negative review, the game really is good. But as a solo player going through the campaign on the recommended (albeit second hardest) difficulty, this game feels absolutely terrible to play. You have the two worst AI squad mates I have ever had the displeasure to call battle brothers, with the most useless and unforgiving "armor" system imaginable. Is it playable? Absolutely. Is it gratifying in difficulty to carry the bots through every mission while they exist only to throw some mostly ineffective bullets around and revive you (which will occur often)? No.
I do not even feel good getting better at the game sometimes, because it feels like I am competing against the actual combat system more than the enemies. So much of this game is made to be a flowing combat experience of dodging, slashing, and parrying, but often it just isn't. You get stuck in animations. You get notifiers of enemy attacks only like 1/3rd of the time. You get rewarded for parrying and playing it slow, but that just isn't effective when you're also getting swarmed by mooks that CHEW through you if you aren't constantly swinging, which paired with the aforementioned stuck in animations makes you take SO much unnecessary damage. Damage you barely heal from without wasting your ultimate with a lengthy cooldown, or frivolously utilizing the very scant med packs.
Rant aside, the game is genuinely good when it's good and when playing with actual people it's even better. Which is lucky considering the PvE and PvP are the main long term focus of the game. But as a solo player just enjoying the story at present, it is one of the worst experiences I have had playing a campaign.

So basically, this game requires you to accept Saber's EULA, which contains EPIC's EULA, which waives your right you settle anything in court against EPIC.

Just being introduced into the deep lore of 40k and wasn't a massive fan before this.
Absolutely loving this game mechanically and also the lore bits got me interested.
Now I'm on a deep dive and watching YouTube breakdowns as I slay demons and xenos.

First of all, how is it possible that a AAA game released in 2024 doesn't include DLSS 3, FSR 3, and frame generation? This is absolutely unacceptable. I'm running a 5800X CPU and 4090 GPU, and at 1440p with max settings, I'm getting around 80-100 FPS. However, what I don't understand is that even if I lower the settings to minimum, reduce the render scale to the lowest, and drop from 1440p to 1080p, the game still gives the same 80-100 FPS. It seems like this game was released with numerous technical issues, and I can't recommend it in its current state. Hopefully, they will quickly resolve these performance problems.

Terrible patch. Not thought out. They claim the game is "too easy" and their solution is to nerf the players. If only there was some kind of... swarm engine that was capable of spawning thousands of enemies at a time that they could use to deliver the horde fantasy that was promised.
Just so everyone is clear, only 15% of the player base has even completed a single tier 4 mission. They made these nerfs knowing this AND releasing 5th tier of difficulty at the same time. Pre-launch the company promised to release patch notes before they went live to receive feedback and they haven't done this a single time. This is what happens when you are out of touch with your player base.
Make marines not paper, make enemies not bullet sponges, make difficulty sliders more enemies and not enemy hp / damage. Buff the 90% of weapons that are unusably bad. Remove the "coherencey" change. Un-nerf player armor. Buff useless class perks, buff useless weapon perks.

"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.”
Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine 2 (2024) represents a third-person hack-n-slash shooter game, developed by the company Saber Interactive and published by the company Focus Entertainment. The first instalment (2011) was developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. Pros & cons: ++ The campaign features the beginning of a Tyranid invasion, with all its horrors and endless tides of claws and teeth. Perfect setting for the grim dark future in which every melee execution results in a fountain of blood and guts. In the middle is our protagonist Demetrian Titus, who lets us see and experience the new story around him. That, dear reader, I consider the short-term motivation. ++ Now comes the long-term one, for the excellent integration of the cooperative modes allows us to play the campaign and secondary missions, called Operations, with up to two friends. Four difficulty levels in combination with six classes provide a broad spectrum of replayability. And for the brave, there is Eternal War mode, essentially a 6v6 PVP match that culminates in a battle between Space Marines and the Archenemy. o What happened to the weight of the power armour? Each step of several hundred kilos of high-quality ceramite should leave an impact, yet the game does not convey the sounds or weight of it in a credible way. Just look at WH40K Boltgun for reference. What about the precision of ranged weaponry? Every time I fire several bolter shots the spread leaves me in disbelief. Any guardsman would severely doubt the marksmanship of that drunken angel of death standing next to him. What about crippling a Tyranid warrior? Unfortunately, not possible. A more detailed hit box with additional dismembering options would have been a great addition. - Upon first launch of the game, an automatic installation of the Epic Online Services started. This constitues heresy of the highest order! The developers stated: „We can assure you that this was only implemented to support optional cross-play between Steam and Epic players and to synchronize friend lists between the two stores.“ Whatever the case, I immediately deinstalled it and the game runs just fine. And so should you, brother. - A couple of bugs corrupted the holy binary code, e.g. floating items, delayed rendering of textures, clipping and collision issues. Saber Interactive’s tech priests have initiated counter protocols. The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all. -- I am shocked to witness the atrocities committed in front of my sacred codex. A simple Tyranid hormagaunt survives a bolter shot, and it takes a magazine to fell a warrior type. A fundamental misunderstanding of the technical background of the weapon. And I will not even start complaining about what they did to my dear melta and plasma weapons. Furthermore, there is a crippling imbalance between ranged and melee attacks, with the emphasis clearly on the latter. Just try to execute a warrior from 10 meters away, let me know how it went. The Inquisition has been informed of the devs’ transgressions; their punishment will be servitude in a penal legion against the greenskins on Armageddon. Summary: The game nails the atmosphere of a Tyranid invasion, and the superb co-op gameplay allows for countless hours of playing the campaign with your battle brothers or prove your team’s tactical prowess in PVE and PVP sessions. On the other hand, it displays some blatant lore inaccuracies and focuses more on close combat than on firearms, which completely undermines my attempts to crowd control the waves of biomass with ranged weapons. The Codex Astartes does not support this action! Recommended for determined initiates and seasoned veterans, loyal to Roboute Guilliman, standing firm against the xenos filth in the darkest hours of the Imperium of Man.

Privacy and data collection is mandatory, doubt barely anyone say the screen since they decided to place it during gamma settings. You must accept or read and accept. cannot deny or limit it. You cannot do what most people do with playstation and deny them in the firewall in/out rules due to needing the game to access EAC and MP.

The game is fun. But it's not $70 fun. The campaign is a 1 and done. There is no unlocks, there is no new game +, no experience or anything. Operations are a treat but there's only 6 of them and to unlock every piece of gear on a single class, you need to successfully complete like 30 missions. For a single class. And there are 6. You will be seeing the same environments and the same encounters a LOT if you want them all. Or you can play PvP. While PvP is balanced, there are 3 game modes and 3 maps. That's it. You will be seeing the same enviornments and the same encounters a -LOT-. As it stands, at launch, this game is not worth $70. Wait for a sale or for DLC to come out. Do not buy at full price during the launch week.
edit: a lot of y'all are thinking this review means I think it's a bad game. I don't. Steam's review is only recommend or don't recommend. As the game is right now, at full price, I do not recommend the game. I am fully aware there is more content down the line, but that doesn't take away from how the game launched. If I thought this was a bad game, I would've said it's a bad game. I think it's a good game that's overpriced and lacking in content.

Very tough decision for me to give this a not recommended review, but I think there are some glaring issues that should be addressed.
First off, the pros:
1. It looks great. Starting from the bigger things. The game is set on three very different and distinct planets: Kadaku, a jungle world, Avarax, a hive world and Demerium, a cemetery world. Each of the planets have their very own distinct style and feel to it. Then down to the smaller details. There are a lot of details in the game that also breath life into the game and adds to the whole WH40K experience. Bravo.
2. The gameplay is great. If you enjoyed the first space marine game, odds are, you will enjoy this one as well. The melee and shooting all feel very satisfying. Popping off a headshot or pulling off a finisher all feel very satisfying.
3. The story is pretty good. I mean, Warhammer games are not always known for having interesting stories, especially also considering this game is supposed to be a hack and slash kinda brainless fun game. All in all, I enjoyed the story thus far. Additional points go to the fact that the coop missions are also parallel to the main missions.
Next, onto the cons:
1. The story is a bit short for its price. There are 7 main story missions (8 if you count prologue) and 5 coop missions that will help flesh out the main story missions (6 if you count Ballistic engine, which isn't really mentioned anywhere in the main missions). I did the game on Angels of Death difficulty and it should take about 15 hours to complete. If you count the coop missions in, it should take about 25-30 hours in total if you wanna enjoy the whole story at least once. Slightly on the short side for the price they are charging.
2. It can be a real grindfest. Tying into the last point. What it does not have in length, it makes up for the sheer amount of grind you will need to do. To unlock all the armor sets for each class, you need to play 35 matches per class, with a total of 210 matches. Assuming you don't do PvP like I do, let's assume each match takes 30 minutes (I think that's the bare minimum unless you do speedrun), and you win every single match. That is like 100+ hours right there that requires you to grind. Now, I'm not against having a lot of coop time to pad out the game time, but since there are only six maps, things can get stale real soon. I hate doing comparisons, but If you compare it with games like Vermintide 2. Vermintide 2 had 13 missions in total when it first launched, which will ensure a relatively healthy mix of varied missions. Here's hoping the devs would add in more coop missions down the line.
3. Twitch drops. Really? I mean, all the clown awards that went into the announcement post should be telling. It is one thing to do exclusive twitch drops that requires you to watch it (since you can just leave it in the background), it is altogether another to require people subbing and giving out subscriptions. This is toxic.
All in all, I enjoyed the game itself, but I really do not enjoy some of the other decisions the devs made for the game.
