The original Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine was forgettable. It didn’t leave a strong impression despite the rich lore that the project was embedded in, and that’s a travesty because Game Workshop’s dark sci-fi universe is one of the most fascinating and original franchises out there.

It’s filled with space orks, chaos demons and highly advanced aeldari, to name a few factions. Humanity is at the centre of things, but it’s a grim and militaristic version mixed with a religious zeal for authority. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 drops players into this world as Demetrian Titus, the protagonist of the original. After his heroics in the original, he was branded a heretic because of his unusual resistance to corruption energies. He disappeared from the records only to reappear while trying to save the planet of Kadaku from a Tyranid invasion.
