Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?



A technically impressive showcase, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's Swarm engine delivers dense geometry, spades of incidental detail and animation - and some extraordinary levels of 'war is hell' mayhem. We've got high hopes for this game and Alex Battaglia and Oliver Mackenzie are particularly excited about it. Both have gone hands-on with beta PC preview code and here's what they think.

Once I found out this was on the World War Z engine I could already play it in my head. Still hyped, just less so. Very much looks like a reskin now with more melee focus.

This game looks good.

I haven't played the first game and don't know anything about Warhammer lore. Played a little Darktide and currently playing Speed Freeks, but that's about it. Hopefully that won't take away from this game.
