While Helldivers 2 seemed like a nailed-on certainty to be crowned best co-op game of the year, Space Marine 2 is putting up a hell of a fight to beat it to that crown. Its early access launch was a success, with a peak of 134,000 players, but that’s nothing compared to what it’s just achieved today, September 9, on its full launch.
At the time of writing, the 24-hour peak concurrent player count for Space Marine 2 on Steam is 225,690. That is the highest peak ever achieved by any of the Warhammer games and Warhammer 40k games that came before it, toppling the previous record of 166,754 that was set by Total War: Warhammer 3 in 2022.

Lol, the original Space Marine is the only Warhammer game I played and finished on PS3. Will buy this at some point. Are the rest any good?

Dawn of War 2 is neat. It is light on hardcore RTS compared with the original and introduces action RPG elements + random loot.
You have limited troops which can be leveled up and there's no base building.

Mostly not. Dawn of war and dawn of war 2 are both good.

Wasn’t really alluding to Steam. 21% negative reviews is a lot of people who aren’t satisfied with the product. That’s why I said mixed.

Having a very good time with it.
