The game excels at progressing in co-op and the campaign is not to be thrown away either. And you don't have to be raised on Warhammer to enjoy it. However, operations are extremely difficult for a solo player, so be sure to look around for live teammates.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is brutal and bloodthirsty like its predecessor. It has solid mechanics, even if not very inventive and quite repetitive, and is full of clichés on all sides. However, it's the typical action game that works for its simplicity and for going straight to the point: slaughter some aliens without too many questions.

Overall, despite some issues, Space Marine 2 is a very valuable game for two groups of players: first, those who love the Warhammer universe and will greatly enjoy immersing themselves in the game’s world; and second, gamers who are interested in Co-Op experiences and can play Space Marine 2 with their friends. In this case, some of the game’s problems, such as AI weaknesses, are less noticeable. The brutal and bloody action, along with the appropriate atmosphere of the game’s world and the Operations mode, are other positive features of the game. If you enjoy exciting action titles, you will probably also greatly enjoy Space Marine 2.

Space Marine 2 is an incredible game and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a good old fashion 3rd person shooter. Death to the Corpse Emperor! Umm I mean for Courage and Honor Brother.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine II is superb. Its campaign is well-written, its characters are engaging, and the complicated nature of working in the shadows allows for some tense moments that shine. Warhammer 40K deserved a visually impressive and chunky return, and Space Marine II is a bloody good time, and a game worthy of the Emperor.

Space Marine 2 is everything a 40K fan would want in a game, with intense combat and detailed customization. While an unremarkable story and server issues hold the game back from true greatness, the experience on offer is well worth the $70 price tag with a plethora of content that calls back to the games of the early 2010s with a main story, PvP, and co-op mode to ensure you’ll happily spend hours slaying Xenos.
