Space Marine 2 is available for early access owners, with its worldwide launch set for September 9th on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. However, it's already garnered an impressive player count on Steam and positive reviews from critics.
There are plenty of reasons to dive into the third-person shooter, from its excellent visuals to the compelling campaign, but the combat is what sells it. Every action in the game, whether you're moving around, slicing up Tyranids with a Chainsword, or breaking out the Heavy Bolter to mow down swarms of enemies, feels fantastic. It also doesn't hurt that the enemies and combat scenarios are enjoyable to engage with.
With just how solid the combat feels, it's possible that Space Marine 2 may unseat the likes of Gears of War. Find out what makes it all so compelling.
