I like shooters and action games, but not so much that I buy a ton of them. I just mix them into my usual array of RPGs and open world games. I got this game specifically because it was 40k. I'm a big… Read more
It's really bland and generic to me. I'm clueless to the warhammer universe, but I've seen this kind of game before. Even the mechanics around it are decent at best. The story doesn't help it stand ou… Read more

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is, as what might come to you as a shock, a game about Space Marines (as the Orks will most certainly remind you of numerous times). More specifically the game revolves… Read more
Warhammer 40K Space Marine has no right to be as much fun as it is. Every time I saw the game before its release, I couldn't help but find the premise generic and the gameplay redundant. Now the game… Read more
