A large part of this is thanks to the game’s combat.

This makes for more of a “thinking marine’s” hack-and-slash game, which works incredibly well.

Perfectly timed dodges or parries can also open up enemies to a gun strike.

You’ll have to be strategic to overcome larger hordes.

There is also much more strategy to be found in Space Marine 2’s combat.

During last year’s Space Marine 2 preview, there were only Tyranids to fight.

It combines all of these elements to create a cohesive and authentic-feeling grimdark world.

You can play solo or in 3-player co-op.

After the campaign, I also got to experience a couple of Space Marine 2’s co-op missions.

The Vanguard, meanwhile, is lightly armored and more suited for close-quarters combat, focusing on single targets.

The world design in Space Marine 2 is superb.

It’s a shame the in-game currency tied to cosmetics is also used for class perks, forcing you to choose.

It’s tough but honest work.
