  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 reviewed by Chris Reed on Xbox Series X, also available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a terrific third-person shooter with a compelling story, loads of weapons that are a blast to use, and a healthy variety of enemies to use them on. It once again borrows many of its ideas from the Gears of War series, but they’re good ideas, and Space Marine 2 does a fine job of making them its own. And while the Operations PvE mode that accompanies it doesn’t currently offer enough to keep me coming back, the deep customization options for your Space Marine do look promising if it’s supported in post-launch updates as planned. Besides, when you’re eviscerating aliens on planets as pretty as these, it’s hard not to leave satisfied.

      Tbh Concord really isn't that bad of a game from what I've seen, it's just a dead game. It went into a death spiral when everybody decided that nobody is going to buy it. The issue is when nobody buys a 7/10 multiplayer game it very quickly becomes a 0/10 game when it is literally impossible to start a match.

      “In the grim darkness…”
      Is a phrase so extreme and so rich with absurdism that it should be obvious that anything following on from it should be satire. As someone who’s been a fan of 40K for the last 25 years, reading this kind of thing makes me really sad. It’s always been a satire. And not a very subtle satire either. How can you read the tagline of the entire franchise and walk with the *opposite* of the intended effect?

      They never said "lighthearted" at any point. They suggested that the game could've had a dash of gallows humor, which is what some other warhammer properties had. Also the other flaws were the game not trying anything new and certain modes not being fun enough to replay.

      You can absolutely put humour into 40k, darktide for example has the funny voice lines and even the more serious books like the night lords trilogy have some kinda funny moments in them. And Space marine 1 had the orks of course.
      It really depends on the type of humour and how to insert it.

    • @MrJH101
      @MrJH101 5 місяців тому +3

      ⁠​⁠@@LordCrate-du8zm Ciaphas Cain is really more the exception and not the rule though. His stories are intended to be more on the humorous side within this otherwise very bleak and “grimdark” universe. Cain is not a supersoldier like the Astartes are, he’s just a human commissar trying to keep himself alive through sheer wits, determination, logic, and luck. So, naturally, he has a very different outlook on life than any of these badass Space Marines do.
      But even then, Cain’s humor is often told from his own internal monologues and there’s very little “Marvel quippy-humor” from him at all. Externally, he appears to everyone as though he is always daring, charismatic, and stoic in the face of danger; even though internally he keeps saying to himself how scared shitless he is (not willing to admit to himself how brave he actually is when under extreme duress).

    I never got into anything Warhammer, so I dont know if it stays true to what real enthusiasts enjoy about it. But as shooters go, this is pretty good. Its simple and standard as shooters go. The story and action is what you'd expect a shooter to be, just straight forward, nothing complicated. The enemies remind me a lot of the xenomorphs, which im sure has been used in other games (Contra comes to mind). But Ill admit, I wish blockbuster still existed, because this would be a weekend killer game for me, it wasnt in GamePass and I spent 70 bucks on it, taking a chance. I dont think it's money wasted, but now I have a taste what the Warhammer world is like

    Saying “Warhammer forty-thousand” instead of “Warhammer forty K” makes me wince.

    Some of y’all need to understand being in a fandom and being hyped for a game doesn’t make it a masterpiece. These reviews are for normal people who just are interested in a game. An 8/10 is a good score.

    If concord and stars wars can get 7/10, than this have to be a 9/10 at least...

      There are multiple reviewers at IGN with different tastes and opinions. It's truly amazing how so many people don't get this.

      @@shankthenoob You should actually think about what you're suggesting.
      Other reviewers are playing and reviewing other games, you're arguing for all of IGN to play one game then review it by committee, which is idiotic, but does seem to be how most people imagine it happens.

      @@Targüs42 Or they could set standards on which to judge the games. Because it obviously varies between their reviewers. Some will give a game 10/10 even if the game is flawed because they weren't bothered by obvious flaws and some will give 5/10 for similar stuff. The whole concept of IGN is flawed, most of their reviewers are pretty bad.

      You will never be able to flatten individuals opinions and tastes to all conform with each other, and if that is a big problem for you then there are tons of solo reviewers you can watch.

    Secret level episode of this just blew the hinges off how the dark setting and the serious tone of what war hammer 40k is supposed to be and just how bad ass the marines are. This humour he refers to has no place for it and the awesome secret level episode proves it.
