Everything about this game is good to great. The graphics are top notch (for the time) and would run even on older systems with some tweaks. The gameplay is phenomenal and the story is one of the best I've seen. The character development is second to none and the characters themselves are interesting. If you are a Warhammer fan, this one is a must buy. Definitely a must-buy at a discounted price. The story is good enough to make me want to try the sequel.

Cool game, one of the best from the WH40K franchise. Can be a bit repetitive but the campaign isn't all that long so it doesn't get boring. Must play before the sequel. Easy recommend on sales. Hate Orks. Hate Chaos. Love me Emprah. Simple as.

They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines, and they shall know no fear. Introduction To my sincerest detriment, I don’t know that much about the Warhammer universe. Space Marine was my first excursion into the world, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I know the lore can be dense and somewhat overwhelming, so I stepped into it cautiously and found myself entirely encapsulated by the characters, story and world that was building around me. 🟩 Positives 🟥 Negatives 🟩 A well-written and detailed story experience that allows you to dip your toes into the universe without feeling overwhelmed. 🟩 Fun, fast-paced combat sequences that enable easy combinations of melee and ranged attacks. 🟩 Despite its age, the graphics and audio quality are substantially good, with only minor issues marring the experience. 🟥 The boss encounters are not challenging and do not differentiate from normal combat in any way. Story A million-strong Ork invasion of Forge World Graia forces Imperial Commanders to deploy a group of Space Marines to the planet's surface to reinforce the local military and reclaim the critically important manufacturing facilities and what they house before the Ork war machine can consume it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3326868445 You are Captain Titus, the head of the Space Marine group, and it is your responsibility to assist the ground forces where possible and push back the Ork army at any cost. But what cost will be too high to pay? What will the Orks take from you in their conquest? And what other forces are at play on the surface of this world? Gameplay Analysis "It is better to die for the Emperor, than to live for yourself" Maneuverability and combat are the main staples of your experience in Space Marine. You will spend most of your time navigating the battlefield, positioning yourself in and out of enemy fire, and combating the enemy forces with a whole arsenal of weaponry. The game has smooth and seamless movement mechanics that allow you to swiftly move between covers and get the advantage over the enemy forces. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3326868625 On top of the clean movement, the combat has also been streamlined in both aspects of its performance. Ranged combat which consists of firing guns of all types into enemy faces that effectively turns them into red mist, is extremely satisfying and feels impactful with every round you let loose. Melee combat is also rewarding, but at the cost of higher damage you are putting yourself under fire, and that doesn't often lead to the desired outcome, especially on higher difficulties. Thankfully, as a Space Marine, you have quite a large threshold for damage absorption and it will take quite a lot to bring you down. A decent pool of health and an ever-replenishing shield makes it exceptionally easy to stay alive assuming that is your goal. "Serve the Emperor today, tomorrow you may be dead." Multiplayer is the only other large concept in Space Marine, and to be honest it's largely dead. I was able to find a few games and it consisted of 90% level-capped players dominating the field and the occasional victory based on events outside of my control. Most of the achievements can be attained through private matches though and if you have someone willing to help, it can be done quite easily and quickly. On top of the lack of players, the multiplayer servers are still extremely buggy, and the lag is awful to endure for long periods. Audio and Visual For a game released in 2011, Space Marine still holds up to this day. The graphics are far from cutting-edge and it would be a true crime to say they are beautiful, but I'm genuinely surprised by how good this game still looks despite its age. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3326868960 The audio is another large-scale surprise for me. It's far from perfect and still has been marred by its age, but it's still generally well-done from the heavy footfalls of your character to the visceral grinding of your chainsword saying hello to the squishy Orks. Performance and Specifications You won't have much issue running this game, the minimum requirements are fairly low and don't seem to have ever been a very resource-hungry experience. RAM: 32GB 3200GHz G-Skill (DDR4) CPU: i9 10900KA 3.70GHz GPU: MSI Ventus RTX 3080 Final Thoughts - Very Good [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2529084785]Review chart here. Despite my reservations and cautious attempt of stepping into Space Marine, I had a lot of fun playing this game and I feel like it was the perfect catalyst for getting into the universe of 40K. It's far from a flawless game, as it has definitely felt the impacts of its age from a gameplay and aesthetic standpoint and isn't a particularly long title for what can still be a $75 game at full price, but if you can get it cheap, I would highly recommend playing this title. No Ork can stand against the will of the Emperor, but if you seek refuge against their growing numbers, head to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43064204/] Hell, Purgatory and Paradise to catch your breath before your next assault against the heretics.

I feel like I should hold a funeral service for this game after this week. It's been neglected for years but there were enough of us to keep PvP going to some degree. This will likely be the end of that. RIP SM1. Thanks for all the fun and no thanks for all the BS host migrations, glitches and hackers. Otherwise good sh!t. Rest easy you beautiful broken game...

Buy it on sale, the price inflation since SM2 got announced is massive. From 12 to 60 for us in the United States. Most likely a decision made higher up the chain, but regardless, fuck off GW.
