4/5 ★ – gabicus's review of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marines 2 is exactly what you want out of a modern co-op game. And it largely achieves that by taking us back to what worked so well in the PS3 era: a no bullshit campaign with dedicated characters. Aside from a solid campaign there’s an equally compelling missions-based mode with some great class design and progression. Overall, the game is a solid package with some great art direction too. Now I say all of that while putting aside some server issues that continue to plague the game. Sadly, I do think those issues started to drag down the experience for me. Part of the problem is that this is just the reality of playing games at launch. But the way this game is structured, with its set of loading screens before and after a mission definitely exasperate the issue. Hopefully they fix that soon or launch private servers cause when the game works, it’s a blast.
