Space Marine 2 appears to be the current hotness, a bombastic showcase of the Warhammer 40K universe with plenty of gore, action, and brotherly love. As of writing, it’s still the morning before the game releases for those not willing to spend big on a special edition of the game, and it’s already topping the Steam top sellers charts. You don’t have to be a psyker to glimpse into the future and see it’ll be big.
And with that, it may very well be a gateway game to the wider 40K IP for a variety of gamers out there. This is a great thing! Warhammer 40K is a core pillar of modern science fiction, as well as the UK economy. But where should a Space Marine 2 lover go next for their next hit of grimdark action? Here are few games which are absolutely worth trying out if you love SM2!
While it may be fun to march around as a Space Marine, kicking Tyranids to death with your big boots, why not take it down a notch in terms of size and power? Darktide is an excellent cooperative 1st person shooter, similar to a little game you may have heard of called Left for Dead, as well as Vermintide (the also brilliant fantasy predecessor from the same developer).
