Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 might be the most faithful Warhammer video game adaptation of all time. You’re paying money for a really good product, you just don’t get a huge amount in the box. Ask any Custodian or Grey Knights player, though: that’s the quintessential Warhammer experience.
Created by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, Space Marine 2 is in many ways a dream game for Warhammer fans. We’ve seen a variety of great new games using this IP in recent years; Boltgun, Rogue Trader, Speed Freaks, and Darktide. You could easily make an argument that we’re in the golden age of Warhammer video game adaptations.
But Space Marine 2 stands in a world of its own; it’s the big blue boys in a triple-A shooter, given the budget it deserves. I think Saber Interactive has done an excellent job bringing the grimdark universe of 40k to life, mixing in so much style and character as to make the game a mandatory buy for any 40k diehard. But, by the time I finished up the campaign and operations mode, I was desperate for more.
