Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is finally here after more than a decade between releases, and the title from Saber Interactive isn't just a blast from the past. Those who've jumped into Space Marine 2, including superfan Henry Cavill, have all taken note that the game plays like an Xbox 360 game in a more modernized setting.
I might not know what a Tyranid is, but I still had a blast with Space Marine 2.
It turns out, that was exactly the intention when a sequel to 2011s original Space Marine was pitched. The team just didn't think the elements would be that obvious.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, game director Dmitriy Grigorenko shared that the team wanted to make sure that Space Marine 2 was a perfect sequel. To do that required going back in time and emulating the features of games from a decade ago.
"We wanted to make a perfect sequel [to Space Marine] – that was in the original pitch," Grigorenko said. "The 'perfect sequel' implies it's the exact same game – a 360 game with a story campaign, some PvP, and a horde mode to accompany it. We wanted to make a classic experience."
Indeed, Space...
