Holey moley... I've slept on this underrated title but just spent the last three hours being blown away by how impressive this AA tier game is!

To be fair I'm playing it on the Pro (and I hear the Pro upgrade is significant) but this is the first game I've personally played this gen that truly 'feels' like a generation apart from the PS4.

The epic scale of the environments coupled with an incredible draw distance, the graphical and auditory excellence, the smoothness of the visceral gameplay, and the sheer number of enemies (and allies) on screen. There are crazy battles with Xenos clambering over themselves World War Z style to scale ramparts, it really is something to behold, and I'm so surprised this game isn't more highly regarded.

Anyone else have some love for Space Marine 2?

One of my favourite games this generation. The combat system is very good and unique, love the melee system in this game and the guns feel great.

Topher · Monday at 6:30 PM

Played many hours of this with my son. Perfect blend of single player campaign and coop, live service, imo

MagusMajul · Monday at 6:36 PM

This and and Doom Eternal. I hope Gears E Day is just as good

Represent. · Monday at 6:38 PM

Loved it, just wish there was more enemy variety and the ending was very repetitive.

Other than that.. fire.

Pretty ho-hum when playing solo. Initially impressive, but a tad repetitive.

If your estrogen levels spiked up too high from playing Saros, this game can cure you.

Agreed. It became reaaaally boring, quite fast.

Perfomance or Quality mode?

Griffon · Monday at 7:07 PM

I love how it looks.

Gameplay is pretty mid and gets boring an instant.

Hollowpoint5557 · Monday at 7:35 PM

I played it for about 35 minutes and turned it off. Seemed fine, didn't hook me at all obviously. Might be worth giving it a second look though.

Zuzu · Monday at 7:43 PM

I didn't like it and I regret buying it. I didn't like the feel of the gunplay and I found the level design to be dull and the enemies boring to fight. The story and characters weren't much interesting either.

Instant_Classic · Monday at 7:48 PM

Game was nothing special, I beat the campaign and also played the multiplayer.

Level design and missions were way too repetitive.

TintoConCasera · Monday at 7:54 PM

I think I might have prefered the first game, but the sequel is very fun too and you can tell a lot of budget went into making it as spectacular as possible. Cool game.

lughnasadh123 · Monday at 8:02 PM

Incredibly dull and repetitive playing while waiting for a high that never arrived.

I've gone Quality, reckon the Pro can handle it.

Mattdaddy · Monday at 8:11 PM

Definitely one of my favorite games past couple years.

Combat was just so fun, ripping and tearing through everything. Delicious violence.

Awesome environments and spectacles fighting against the swarms.

Also really loved the coop operations, I still dip into those from time to time.

Just a good ole fashioned fun to play ass kicking action game.

To be fair I have only played 3 hours so can't comment on repetitiveness.

My post was more about the 'next gen' technical impressiveness of the game - genuinely epic and spectacular onscreen. Even more so, that's it's a mid-budget AA title.

Barakov · Monday at 9:05 PM

It gave me the vibe of shooters from the PS3/X360 era. It was the most videogame ass videogame that I've played in a while. We need more of those.

Kuranghi · Monday at 9:33 PM

I'm about to start it on Pro after it came free through PS+, pretty excited to blast some aliens.

Zacfoldor · Monday at 10:32 PM

Loved it. Pragmata also feels next gen on Pro. Demon's Souls remake would be my 3rd candidate.

Emedan · Monday at 10:53 PM

It's a great game, still doing the weekly stratagems with my mate, week in and week out.

Hawk The Slayer · Monday at 11:39 PM

Best game this whole gen so far.

Can't wait to see what they got cooked for Part 3.

coachmcguirk91 · Monday at 11:41 PM

Gameplay got repetitive for me. I did like that it wasn't a cover shooter with regen health, like Gears of War. Respect to how well it has done though. Warhammer IP is crazy big. It should get many improvements with a sequel in a few years

S0ULZB0URNE · Tuesday at 12:07 AM

Have they tightened up the performance on PS5 Pro?

Yes!

Space Marine 2 + PSSR2 = next gen awesomeness!

GymWolf · Tuesday at 8:28 AM

Didn't liked the game at all and stopped after the first area but some of the graphic and horde tech was nice.

I vastly prefer the first game tbh, orcs are far better enemies than mindless hordes of insects, it got boring after an hour.

Coop is probably where it shine more.

Bonfires Down · Tuesday at 8:30 AM

World War Z was already super fun to me. It did lack a proper single player mode or at least competent bots. It's good they fixed that here.

Cr1ptkeeper · Tuesday at 8:32 AM

Looks great indeed and the production values are top notch but the gameplay gets repetitive really fast.
Every combat encounter is the same. The only reason I kept playing were the graphics.

First true next gen experience? Lmao the fuck? Mate it plays EXACTLY like Space Marine 1, EXACTLY, all the same flaws such as shallow as fuck combat, linear levels. Yes it LOOKS good but thats it. Nothing Next gen feeling about it at all.
