I admit, I've never played the original, but minutes into playing the sequel it's clear that I've been sleeping on the series. My hands-on gameplay preview session at Gamescom 2023 only lasted around an hour, but in that brief time I was amazed at how well a pure third-person shooter of this style holds up today. It’s bloody, it’s brutal, and wonderfully unapologetic about it. This is a sequel to the now defunct Relic Entertainment’s 2011 cult classic, where you play as one of the titular hulking soldiers engaging legions of foes in both ranged and melee attacks amidst a far-future war based on the Warhammer licence. I think it was when I walked up to one of the many hundreds of bug-like Tyranid enemies squiggling around on screen, and decapitated it using its own spike tail (that I'd just ripped off) that I knew the kind of ride I was in for with Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. Future soldiers with no necks and broad shoulders make their video game comeback thanks to Saber Interactive’s sequel to a 2011 cult classic.
